Amit Shah tells BJP MPs to ensure victory in polls

BJP president Amit Shah on Thursday asked party MPs to strive hard to continue the winning streak in the forthcoming Assembly elections in four states and by-polls in some other states by effectively practicing “sampark, samvaad and samanvay” (communication, dialogue and coordination).

As a step in this direction, he said each of them should set up offices as well as coordination committees for effective utilisation of local area development funds in their respective constituencies.

Addressing party MPs for the first time in the Central Hall of Parliament after his elevation as party chief, Shah cautioned them against disconnect with voters and take the upcoming Assembly elections and by-polls seriously and ensure the party’s victory.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who chaired the BJP Parliamentary Party meeting earlier, introduced Shah to the party MPs who accorded him a warm welcome.

“The new BJP Chief stressed on having “Sampark, Samvaad and Samanvay” between the party MPs and the public and asked all party members to work at the booth-level,” said BJP vice-president Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi after the meeting.

He said Shah told the MPs that this was the first time in independent India’s history that a non-Congress government got absolute majority and it is the duty of the MPs to ensure the party’s victory in their respective states.
