Gandhinagar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has penned down a letter congratulating the ‘Page Committee – Maha JanSampark Abhiyan’, initiated by the Gujarat unit of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Gujarati language. Presented here is rough translation of that to English:

‘For any large tree, its seed and roots are important. Same way, for any political party, a dedicated ground level worker is an asset like a foundation. Public contact by party workers ultimately result into public service.’

‘BJP is not just a political party. It is an organization of countless workers, dedicated to an ideology. A party worker connects each person to party’s policy, action and programmes. And in that sense, a party worker becomes a voice of large population.’

‘Page Pramukh is a new form of our party’s conventional mass contact drive. The election becomes an occasion to reachout to every person’s heart. Elections bring opportunity to connect the members of each house, each family to BJP. Page committee system is like a rosery linked through one single thread, in which Chief Minister, union minister, state party chief, senior party workers, youths, women, farmers, traders and last labourer – members of all classes are equal partner. This strengthens the feel of one joint family in party. The process of understanding the issues and problems faced by the people by reaching out to them, and the process of representation for solution of various issues and problems faced by the people, strengthens this chain and provide opportunity to add new chapters to the path of development. A memmonth task of reaching out to 2.25 crore voters through 15 lakh Page Committees is like a movement executed with patience, to fill the ocean by each drop.’

‘A voter is a heart beat of democracy. Page Committee – mass public contact drive encourages voters to cast vote. And in that sense, it makes important contribution to strengthen the values of democracy. It is a duty of a sensitive and active party worker to understand the wishes and expectations of the people and prove the self accordingly.’

‘There’s an unbroken relation between Gujarat and the BJP from very beginning. The people of Gujarat have always selflessly showered motherly love for BJP. ‘Gujarat Makkam, Bhajap Adikham’ is not just a slogan, but it is am image inscribed on heart about relation between BJP and Gujarat. I am sure that this Ganga of mutual trust will keep flowing forever. Like Arjun would see an eye of a bird only in Mahabharata, same way, our goal should be to create positive change in the life of a last mile person.’

‘My good wishes to all candidates and party workers representing the party in the municipal corporations and Panchayati raj elections which is an auspicious festival of democracy. Lets all partner in new India’s journey with a torch of determined society and building the nation.’
