Bhoomi poojan at Jaipur venue where PM will meet schemes' beneficiaries

Jaipur, July 1 (IANS) BJP workers on Sunday performed 'bhoomi poojan' at the venue here where Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet and talk to beneficiaries of various public welfare schemes on July 7.

Amid the chanting of hymns, the religious ceremony was attended by state BJP President Madan Lal Saini and his predecessor Ashok Parnami, Ministers Arun Chaturvedi, Rajendra Rathore and Yunus Khan.

Saini later told the media that the schemes could not be implemented during the earlier Congress rule and died a silent death on papers.
