BJP national general secretary Arun Singh has written a letter to all party workers regarding programmes to be organised during the fortnight.

"Seva Pakhwara" will be celebrated from September 17 till the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation, on October 2.

Under "Seva Pakhwara", the party will organise exhibitions on PM Narendra Modi at the district level. Along with this, the party is also working on a strategy for the promotion of the book Modi @20 Sapne Hue Sakaar.

A blood donation camp and free check-up camp will be organised, as well as the distribution of artificial limbs and equipment.

The party will also run a year-long programme to make the country tuberculosis free, under which everyone will be asked to adopt a TB patient and take care of him/her for a year.

As part of "Seva Pakhwara", the BJP will also run a campaign for the promotion of Covid-19 booster dose.

A tree plantation drive and several cleanliness campaigns will also be included in the programmes organised for Modi's birthday celebrations.

Nadda has instructed all the party leaders and workers to upload photos of the programmes carried out on the NaMo App.

He has also directed them to promote programmes related to 'Unity in Diversity’ and 'Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat' as part of the celebrations.

A special event will be organised on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Bharatiya Jana Sangh leader Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya on September 25.
