The BJP on Tuesday marked its last parliamentary party meeting of the ongoing winter session of Parliament, with party chief JP Nadda asking MPs to focus on the health of children up to six years of age in their respective constituencies.
In the meeting, Nadda stressed on the implementation of healthy boy and girl competition and told the nine-member committee constituted to oversee the campaign to take stock of the preparedness in the states.
According to committee member Sunita Duggal, an app called nutrition tracker will be used by party workers to measure the development of children aged 0 to six. The program comes under the Ministry of Women and Child Development, but the party will help implement it.
“There will be a team of 14 people, including heads of state, who will monitor the progress of the tasks assigned to them on the health of 0 to 6 year olds on parameters like height, weight etc. These kids will get a certificate from the app on their development. Duggal said.
Apart from Duggal, the nine-member team includes Anil Jain as convenor and Rajiv Bindal MLA from Himachal as co-convenor. Other members are D Purandeshwari, Sudhir Gupta, Arun SaoSao, Sandhya Rai, Khushboo Sundar, and Sukhpreet Kaur.
In the meeting, Law Minister Kiren Rijiju made a detailed presentation on the Election Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2021, which was passed by the Lok Sabha and attempts to link voter ID with Aadhaar. He recalled how the opposition had once supported reforms.
According to sources, the minister told BJP MPs that the bill was passed after a detailed discussion which included Trinamool Congress MPs who were now opposing the bill. “Earlier, AAP and other parties had also asked for this reform. And now they are opposing it. This bill will remove any discrepancies in voter registration and verification,” the source quoted Rijiju as saying.
Party MPs were also asked to take stock of preparations for the Good Governance Day or Good Governance Day on December 25, the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
While Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not attend Tuesday’s meeting, Union ministers Amit Shah, Anurag Thakur, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Nirmala Sitharaman, Piyush Goyal, S Jaishankar and Mansukh Mandavia were present apart from Nadda, Rijiju and other BJP MPs.
