Junagadh: Ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s Gujarat unit president CR Patil today while addressing party workers here said the ministers of the State government will sit in State party headquarters ‘Kamalam’ in Gandhinagar every Monday and Tuesday during 12 to 5 pm and hear party workers regarding their issues related to government.

Patil said, the ministers will give written reply in response to the issues received from party workers, on whether the work they suggest can be done or can not be done. The second copy of this communication will reach ‘Kamalam’. Party would review the replies whether the reply was proper and reasoning for not doing work was OK.

‘Your works should be done and for that we have planned this arrangement which will be in place in a week or so,’ Patil said.

‘Suppose some assembly segment has Congress MLA and party worker can’t enter secretariat…. A party worker running pillar to post, a party worker if barred entry from secretariat, and if given entry but treated as one of the persons in crowd …. it creates a situation in which a party worker would think, whether I worked for election of this government?’

Patil announced his mobile numbers and asked party cadres to contact him if their issues are not addressed by elected leaders.

Patil asked party workers not to follow factions and work only for lotus. Patil said he has set target of BJP winning all 182 assembly seats of Gujarat in next general elections of assembly in year 2022. Patil said, this is possible, as one should remember, party has won all Lok Sabha seats in this state twice.

Patil said party’s page committee members will be given identity cards.

Patil said, he would give negative opinion as a party president when someone seeking party ticket to contest election had ensured lesser than required votes for party in his/her own booth. ‘I went to Valsad recently and I had all data ready on which leader had in last four elections, ensured how many votes for party in own booth. If someone has not achieved victory in his/her own booth for party, then there’s no reason why that person should be imposed as a candidate over others,’ Patil said.

Patil also asked party workers to connect government schemes to common people. Patil said, those from Congress who have joined BJP till now are lucky because we are not going to have need to take Congress persons to our party fold in future. DeshGujarat
