While agitating farmers hold on at borders of Delhi, BJP president JP Nadda on Saturday launched his party’s mega farmer outreach in poll-bound Bengal with the “Ek Mutthi Chawal Sangrah”, a state-wide door-to-door rice collection, from Jagadanandapur village in Bardhaman district, which is also known as the “rice bowl” of the state.
The Gobindobhog rice, a speciality from Bardhaman, also boasts of the geographical indication (GI) status.
Nadda said the “Ek Mutthi Chawal Sangrah” campaign was aimed at reasserting the party and government’s commitment and conviction towards the growth, progress and prosperity of farmers.
Starting the “day-out with farmers” by offering prayers at Shri Radha Gobind Temple in Katwa, he also addressed ‘Krishok Surokkha’ Gram Sabha, had lunch with a farmer household, offered prayers at Sarbamangala Temple and ended the day with a roadshow from Burdwan Clock Tower to Lord Curzon Gate.
