BJP president at Lord Vishwakarma’s doorstep, urges artisans to benefit from government schemes
Punjab E News: BJP Punjab state president Kewal Singh Dhillon today visited Baba Vishwakarma Bhawan in Ludhiana on the occasion of Lord Vishwakarma’s Prakash Purab, paid his respects and received blessings. He described it as a great privilege for himself.
On the occasion, he extended heartfelt greetings on Vishwakarma Jayanti to all artisans, masons, blacksmiths, carpenters and all hardworking brothers and sisters.
Dhillon said this day is not merely for worship but a day to honour the skill of the hands and the dignity of labour. Lord Vishwakarma is regarded as the first architect and engineer of creation, and his message is clear: whoever creates something with their own hands is the true builder of society.
He said the Gurus also gave the message of “Kirat karo, Naam japo, Vand chhako” (work honestly, remember God, share with others). Punjab’s identity lies in hard work, and our artisan brothers are the backbone of that work. From village lanes to big factories, from the ploughshare to the roof of a home, the mark of an artisan’s hands is everywhere. He regretted that for decades these hands received only greetings, not facilities.
State president Dhillon said Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi changed this thinking. Through the PM Vishwakarma Yojana, traditional artisans have been provided identity cards, skill training, support for modern tools and affordable loans. Modi’s message is that an artisan is not dependent on aid but a partner in nation-building.
He appealed to every artisan in Punjab to make use of these schemes, and assured them that every BJP worker stands with them in this effort.
Finally, Dhillon said that if Punjab is to be made prosperous again, the start will be honouring skilled hands. He once again greeted the entire congregation on Lord Vishwakarma’s Prakash Divas.
On the occasion, Dhillon also distributed sewing machines to the needy. The managing committee and office-bearers of Baba Vishwakarma Bhawan also felicitated him.
Those present included BJP state general secretary Rajnish Dhiman, state treasurer Gurdev Debi Sharma, district president Sunil Mongil, Parveen Bansal, Amarjit Singh Tikka, Gurdeep Singh Gosha, Naval Jain, Dr. Satish Kumar, and a large number of BJP leaders and workers.
