Amit Shah to address BJP meet in jodhpur

Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister, will deliver a speech at the closing ceremony of the OBC Morcha’s national working committee meeting on Saturday in Jodhpur.

Notably, Jodhpur is the seat of Ashok Gehlot, the chief minister of Rajasthan. Shah will also speak at the opening of the BJP’s booth-level workers’ gathering in Jodhpur.

The two-day working committee meeting was officially inaugurated on Friday by K Laxman, the morcha’s national president, Bhupendra Yadav, the union labour minister, and Satish Poonia, the head of the BJP’s Rajasthan unit.

The Bharatiya Janata Party OBC Morcha’s National Working Committee meeting was addressed by Bhupender Yadav, who noted that whenever the topic of OBC reservation was raised, Congress consistently opposed it. “Since 2014, the government of PM Narendra Modi has been working continuously for OBC society,” he said.

On his two-day visit to Rajasthan, the Home Minister arrived at Jaisalmer on Friday evening. At Jaisalmer Airport, party leaders, BSF Director General D. Pankaj Kumar Singh, and Union Minister Kailash Choudhary welcomed him.

He spoke with BSF representatives on Friday and spent the night at the BSF Officers’ Institute.

Before leaving for Jodhpur on Saturday morning, Shah would go to the Tanot Mata temple in Jaisalmer.

The Border Security Force Sector Jaisalmer (North), the Tanot Mandir Complex Project, and the Bhoomi Pujan of the project under the Border Tourism Development Program by the Ministry of Tourism will all have their foundations officially laid today by the Home Minister.

On the “Victory Stambh” in Tanot, the Shah will also pay tribute to the soldiers lost in the 1965 Indo-Pakistani War.

Shah posted on Twitter and stated, “I will participate in various programmes in Virbhoomi, Rajasthan. First of all, after bowing down to the heroes on the Victory Pillar in Jaisalmer, I will worship Tanot Mata and pray for the development plan of the Tanot temple complex. Then I will address the National Working Committee and Booth President General Conference of the BJP OBC Front in Jodhpur.”

33 of the 200 Assembly seats, including 10 in the Jodhpur district, are located in the Jodhpur division. There are now 14 seats held by the BJP, 17 by the Congress, and one each by the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party and independents.

Later in 2023, is when Rajasthan’s assembly elections are slated to take place.
