BJP reaches out to workers who make stirs hit

LUCKNOW: At a time when the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has hit the streets to protest against home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde's 'Hindu terror' remark, the state unit of the party plans to reach out to its workers who have played significant role in building the party and making such protests and demonstrations meaningful.

A meeting of state BJP chief Laxmikant Bajpayi with important workers of the party has been fixed at the party's state office on Tuesday. On the same day, Bajpayi will also visit the house of former district unit chief Ghanshyam Yadav, who was killed in a road accident while he was coming to attend the party's Atal Shankhnaad Rally on January 21.

Earlier, on Monday, Bajpayi also attended programmes at party workers' houses in Ambedkarnagar, Mau and Ghazipur districts. A direct contact with the party workers is the need of the hour if the party has to regain its lost glory in the state, said a senior BJP leader.

The effort to make direct contact with the workers by the state BJP leadership gains importance in wake of Rajnath Singh becoming the national BJP chief and former chief minister Kalyan Singh coming back to party fold, as the two developments are bound to infuse new life into the state BJP in the days to come.

The BJP is gearing up to take the Shinde's remark issue from the streets to Parliament. The state BJP even took to task the Samajwadi Party-led state government on Monday for silence on the home minister's remark. Party's spokesman HN Dixit said since the Samajwadi Party, which is an alliance partner of UPA II, has been silent on the remarks made by the home minister, it proves they too subscribe to the view that organizations with nationalist approach are terror organizations. He demanded SP leaders come out with clear stance on the issue.

It is pertinent to mention that former chief minister Mayawati, whose Bahujan Samaj Party is also supporting UPA II government at the Centre, had said Shinde should have desisted from making such remarks in public. Dixit demanded Shinde be sacked for calling Hindus terrorists and hurting sentiments of the majority in the country. It's an insult to the country, he said.
