BJP to organise khadi fair in Vijayawada tomorrow
The BJP is organizing a Khadi fair in Vijayawada to mark Mahatma Gandhi's birth anniversary as part of its 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan'. The event aims to promote handloom products and support rural weavers while highlighting the growth of the Khadi sector.
Why it matters
The event serves as both a cultural promotion of traditional Indian textiles and a political outreach effort by the BJP in Andhra Pradesh.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State spokesperson Mullapudi Renuka announced that the party will organise a Khadi Santha (khadi fair) in Vijayawada on Friday, as part of its ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’ to mark the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
Ms. Renuka said on Wednesday that the Khadi fair would be held on the first floor of IV Palace in the city from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and as part of the event, cultural programmes would be organised in the morning and evening.
She said similar Khadi fairs were organised last year in Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, Rajamahendravaram, Tirupati and other district headquarters. Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu had attended the Vijayawada event last year and encouraged the initiative, she added.
The programme this year would be held under the leadership of BJP State president P.V.N. Madhav, with the party’s State in-charges appointed by the national leadership also attending, she said.
