BJP to Collect Memories of Atal Ji in Jharkhand
Addressing a press conference at the state BJP office today, senior leader and MLA CP Singh announced that the party will collect and document memories related to Atal Bihari Vajpayee in Jharkhand.
He stated that the Atal Shatabdi Organizing Committees, formed in all districts, will gather recollections of Atal Ji from their respective areas.
“Atal Ji, the creator of Jharkhand, had a deep connection with this state. He travelled extensively by road and rail to remote rural districts, stayed at the homes of Jan Sangh workers, and actively participated in numerous programs. His role in strengthening the party’s base in the Jharkhand region is unforgettable,” Singh said.
The party plans to compile and digitize all collected information as part of the centenary celebrations. Singh urged party workers and the public to contribute any memories, photographs, or videos of Atal Bihari Vajpayee to their district committees.
