Under the politics of fast (Upwas), BJP parliamentarians & ministers staged a dharna and fast at all the 33 district headquarters across Rajasthan
Under the politics of fast (Upwas) on Thursday, BJP MPs and ministers staged a dharna and fast at all the 33 headquarters across the state. Party MLAs in Jaipur also participated in the fast but did not stay for full time.
The dharna ended one hour before the scheduled time.
Fasting and dharna programmes were organised on behalf of the BJP at all the district headquarters to protest against ‘creation of obstructions’ for 22 days and against the apparent non-democratic attitude of Congress MPs during the budget session of Parliament.
The BJP workers under the leadership of Jaipur MP Ramcharan Bohra sat on fast in the capital. The fast went on from 10 am to 5 pm, but the programme ended at four o’clock in the evening.
Meanwhile, Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare and Jodhpur MP Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said that efforts are being made to spoil the country’s Ganga-Jamuni tradition by the politics of violence and incitement.
He said even the budget session of Parliament, which was supposed to have important discussions related to the general public, also led to chaos due to the Congress stalemate.
He was addressing thousands of workers and office bearers of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday who sat on a hunger strike to ‘expose’ Congress’s ‘anti-democratic’ policies and ‘anti-development’ face.
He said he wanted to highlight the apparent ‘negative’ role and attitude of the Congress in the public. They all sat on hunger under Shekhawat’s leadership. BJP’s media chief Achal Singh Mertia said that the atmosphere of fear and confusion is being spread across the country by the Congress in a planned manner.
During the fast, Shekhawat said that in order to expose the anti-democratic and anti-development faces of the Congress, all party leaders including MPs, MLAs, Pradhans, Sarpanchs and Councillors as well as BJP workers are on a hunger strike across the country nowadays.
BJP office bearers and a large number of workers, including Jodhpur City District head Devendra Joshi, dehat head Bhopal Singh Badla, Revat Singh Rajpurohit, Mayor Ghanshyam Ojha, former minister and Bilara MLA Arjunlal Garg, and MLA Kailash Bhansali were among the leaders present during the sit-in near the statue of Mahatma Gandhi, outside Dr SN Medical College.
