Addressing a gathering on the occasion, the prime minister talked about the Union Budget 2019-20 and his thoughts on India’s growth trajectory in the coming years.

PM Modi said that the membership drive will further connect people from all walks of life with the BJP family.

The prime minister was accompanied by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, BJP working president JP Nadda and the state unit chief of the saffron party, Mahendra Nath Pandey.

PM Modi also unveiled a tall bronze statue statue of Lal Bahadur Shastri at Varanasi airport, after which he launched a tree-plantation campaign — “Anand Kanan”.
