Addressing the media on Friday, BJP OBC Morcha State president Rongala Gopi Srinivas described handloom weaving as a symbol of India’s cultural heritage, traditions and indigenous spirit. He said the handloom industry had earned global recognition for Indian civilisation over centuries and had played a significant role in the country’s freedom movement through the promotion of khadi and the charkha.
The convention, scheduled to begin at 9.30 a.m., will be preceded by a rally from the BJP State office under the slogan “We Stand With Modi”. The rally, he said, was intended to express support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s initiatives to strengthen the handloom sector and improve the welfare of weavers.
