These are extremely important and we need to also bear in mind that the government at the Centre has transformed the nation from scam ridden to welfare bound.

There is a new political culture and the party should focus heavily on both Dalits and Backward Classes. A special emphasis is needed to farmers as well, he also pointed out.

This government is here to stay for 20 years Shah said.

Shah urged the workers to get in touch with the manual scavengers and chalk out a rehabilitation programme and ensure that they benefit from the various government schemes.

Improve vote tally

Shah also said that the BJP will focus on the weaker states in the coming days.

"We have nearly 10 crore members and a data bank of 17 crore votes. These resources must be used to improve the position in the weaker states such as Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Odisha, Assam, Tripura and West Bengal," he added.

Shah gave examples of where the membership campaign of the BJP has been very good but the votes that they got was not enough.

He said in Kerala there were 1.9 million members but the votes which the party got was 1.4 million.

Training programme
