PM Modi encourages BJP leaders to offer voluntary labour to build ponds
New Delhi, April 5: Prime Minister Narendra Modi called on BJP leaders and workers on Tuesday to offer voluntary labour (shram daan) to build ponds in their areas ahead of the summer months.
PM Modi gave this call during a meeting of the BJP Parliamentary Party that took place at Ambedkar Bhavan on Tuesday. Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP National President JP Nadda, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi and others were among the attendees.
During the meeting, the Prime Minister gave directions to observe a Social Justice Paksha Pakhwada (fortnight) from April 7 to 20.
PM Modi remarked that as the temperature continues to rise, the water crisis may grow more severe in the coming days. As a result, he instructed all of the leaders to perform "Shramdaan" and build more and more ponds in their respective areas.
Prahlad Joshi stated that "A program called the Social Justice Paksha Pakhwada will be celebrated from April 7 to 20. During this fortnight, we will have different programs for 15 days."
