Bhumi Pujan’ Performed By BJP In Uttrakhand

Mumbai: On Wednesday the Uttrakhand BJP performed a “bhumi pujan” at the Parade Ground, where BJP president Amit Shah has been slated to visit and to start saffron party’s Lok Sabha poll campaign in the state on February 2.

Shah is scheduled to address the booth level workers of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at the venue of the Trishakti Sammelan. “Trishakti” refers to the three categories of party workers at the booth level – booth attendant, booth spinach and booth level agent.

Commenting on this BJP Chief Ajay Bhatt said that, “The bhumi pujan was in line with our age-old tradition of beginning every work on an auspicious note by invoking the almighty. It gives a fitting start to the party president’s visit on February 2, when he will formally launch the party’s campaign for the Lok Sabha polls in the state at the venue.”

The purpose of Shah’s visit is to strengthen the BJP cadre before the Lok Sabha elections, in which the party has the challenge of retaining all five seats in the state against a resurgent Congress, which recently won assembly elections in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh.
