BJP and its youth wing BJYM have been actively connecting and engaging with their volunteers via virtual medium all through this lockdown. In fact, BJYM was the first political organisation to hold its National Executive meeting via video conferencing on 3 June.
Addressing the ‘Yuva Samvad Rally’, Poonam Mahajan praised the relief work done by the Morcha activists in Uttarakhand during the lockdown period.

She said that people in other states came to Uttarakhand for spiritual awakening and, today, when Maharshtra has a dysfunctional government leading to complete breakdown of the system, the only guiding light was the venerable Governor, Bhagat Singh Koshyari, who is Uttarakhand’s gift to the people of Maharashtra.
