New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has planned a 20-day mega event – ‘Seva Aur Samarpan Abhiyan’ till October 7, to mark his ’20 years in public service’ and also to mark his 71st birthday today.  PM Modi was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Gujarat for the first time in 2001 on September 17.

Apart from this, the government is aiming at a COVID-19 vaccination record today to mark the PM’s birthday. BJP leaders have been urged to promote the jabs and state officials have been told to double the daily rate. The BJP, which has set a target of 2 crore doses for today, has trained around eight lakh volunteers, NDTV reported.

On Thursday, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya urged people to get vaccinated. He tweeted, “Let’s do #VaccineSeva and give him (PM Modi) birthday gift by getting vaccinated those who have not taken the dose so far.”

Speaking about the plans for PM Modi’s birthday, UP BJP spokesperson Hero Bajpai said, “We aim to reach out to the maximum people so that they become aware of our policies and they should also know that there is a PM whose birthday is celebrated among common people.”

 

The party will hold massive cleanliness and blood donation campaigns, and send five crore postcards to the Prime Minister to congratulate him for his efforts as “party members commit themselves to public service”.

Hoardings thanking PM Modi “for free food grains and vaccination for the poor” will also be set up as part of the campaign. In Uttar Pradesh, where elections are due next year, the party workers will hold a campaign to clean river Ganga at 71 sites.

According to a party statement, “Intellectuals and famous personalities will be invited to attend events that focus on PM Modi’s life and his achievements. In various languages, opinions and articles by prominent personalities will be published to ensure the message reaches out to the public.”

Besides, health camps will be held in districts while food will be distributed under the ‘Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana’, with women leaders playing a key role. “All representatives will go to vaccine centres with an aim to spread awareness and thank the Prime Minister.”

BJP workers will register children who have been orphaned due to COVID, so that they can get benefits from the PM-CARES fund.
