Faqir Chand Bhagat nominated as BJP state vice president

Party Working President Sh. Sat Sharma CA formally handed over the appointment letters to Fakir Chand and Chaudhary Balkar Singh. Union Ministers Sh. Kishan Reddy Gangapuram, Sh. Ashish Sood and former Speaker Sh. Kavinder Gupta were also present at the appointment ceremony. Sh. Sat Sharma took the opportunity to express his hope that the new leadership will further strengthen the party and resolve the problems of farmers.

Sh. Sat Sharma said that the BJP is the true representative of the interests of farmers and it has been working for the welfare of small as well as large farmers. He said that the BJP’s Sankalp Patra has a special focus on farmers and has promised to increase the subsidy of Rs 6,000 provided under the Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana to Rs 10,000, besides various welfare schemes.

He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had taken many revolutionary steps to increase farmers’ income in the last decade and these steps have been further accelerated after coming to power for the third time. He said that after forming a dual-engine government in Jammu and Kashmir, farmers’ lives will become better off as the BJP is committed to fulfilling every promise of its Sankalp Patra.

He hoped that Mr. Fakir Chand Bhagat would work for the BJP with greater enthusiasm and promote the policies and programmes of the BJP to thousands of households.

He expressed hope on Chaudhry Balkar Singh that he would make the farmer community aware about the welfare measures taken by Prime Minister Modi for farmers and the promises made by the BJP in the Peace Accord.
