GUNTUR, May 3: The BJP district executive committee met on Sunday at Vajpayee Bhavan, the party's district office, under the chairmanship of district president Cherukuri Tirupati Rao, to deliberate on forthcoming programmes and the conduct of a district-level training camp.

Addressing the meeting, Mr. Tirupati Rao announced that a two-day district-level training programme would be held on May 16 and 17 at VVIT College in Namburu, Guntur district. State-level party leaders will participate and conduct sessions on a range of subjects. He also directed party workers to hoist the BJP flag in every village and ward under the 'Mana Ooru – Mana Jenda' (Our Village – Our Flag) programme.

Booth-level outreach and voter data collection

Mr. Tirupati Rao called for the effective implementation of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) programme across the district. He instructed that BLA-2s be constituted at all polling booths within the district and that they work alongside Booth Level Officers (BLOs) to collect comprehensive voter data — including details of where voters currently reside, the duration of their stay, and the State from which they have migrated.

Training pivotal to party building, says coordinator

Rampalli Jagannadha Sastri, district coordinator for the training programme, said that such instructional camps are critical to strengthening the party's organisational structure. He noted that mandal-level training had already been completed, and the district-level two-day programme would build further on that foundation. He urged participants to observe discipline, deepen their understanding of party ideology, and effectively communicate it to workers at the grassroots. He added that sessions by invited speakers would offer valuable learning across multiple areas of party functioning.

The meeting was attended by Jupudi Rangaraju, Kothuri Venkata Subbarao, Bhimineni Chandrasekhar, CH Yashwanth, Darshanapу Srinivas, Yadlapati Swaroopa Rani, Kokkera Srinivas Yadav, Jaggarapu Srinivasarao, Palaapati Ravi Kumar, Charaka Kumar Goud, Taduvai Ramakrishna, Bajrang Ramakrishna, Kuddus, and Brahmaiah, along with district office-bearers, morcha presidents, general secretaries, mandal presidents, and executive committee members.

GUNTUR: The screening of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Mann Ki Baat at VVIT University, Namburu, on Sunday drew a large gathering of students and BJP functionaries.

BJP Andhra Pradesh president P.V.N. Madhav, who attended as the chief guest, said the monthly broadcast serves as a source of guidance for the youth by addressing diverse issues of national importance.

University Chancellor Vidyasagar observed that such programmes help foster a sense of national responsibility among students and said efforts would be made to hold them regularly on campus.

Mr. Madhav said India’s resilience amid global challenges reflects the Centre’s policy direction. Citing Operation Ganga, he noted that the evacuation of Indians from Ukraine demonstrated the country’s diplomatic capability.

He also referred to measures taken to manage fuel prices and highlighted initiatives in sectors such as semiconductors and rare earth minerals as part of the vision for a developed India by 2047. He called upon students to seize emerging opportunities and contribute to nation-building.

A quiz on Mann Ki Baat was conducted, and winners were presented certificates.

Guntur district BJP president Cherukuri Tirupati Rao said such initiatives enhance awareness among youth and strengthen their role in the nation’s development.

Among those present were V. Gangadhar, K. Pradeep, CH Kaushik, Harikrishna, Karthik Reddy, Ranjith, Sai Radhakrishna and others.
