Take schemes to grassroot level: Shah to NE leaders

To strengthen the party in northeastern states, BJP president Amit Shah on Friday exhorted party leaders in the area to take welfare schemes enumerated by the Narendra Modi government to grassroot level and monitor them to keep a check on corruption.

On the second day of his four-day tour to the northeast, Shah held meetings with Nagaland BJP leaders and asked them to strengthen the party’s base. He also called on Nagaland Governor PB Acharya and discussed schemes for welfare of tribals and the law and order situation in the state. He met representatives of some social organisations, including the supreme Naga Hoho.
