Hundreds of differently-abled persons were invited to the programme. They were provided with crutches, wheelchairs, walker, smart stick, elbow stick and other instruments. They expressed gratitude to the party.

Addressing the gathering, Raghubar Das said the differently-abled people should not feel inferior to others as they were mentally very strong and capable. He said the previous BJP government had extended the benefits of all government schemes to the members of every class.

The MP said PM Modi had taken care of every class of society. He said the non-BJP governments had treated Divyangs (differently-abled persons) as second class citizens. He went to add that the Central government had organized thousands of camps for differently-abled people across the country and distributed equipments worth over 1000 crore.
