Shah told the Rajya Sabha members that the party expects further improvement in their work and increased productivity, while noting that they have been pro-active in their efforts.
"You must further try your best to reach our ideology and messages about our achievements to all sections of society, different organisations, intellectuals and communities through live contacts and dialogue and, thus, persuade them to make a common cause with us.
"You may also make efforts to resolve long-standing issues between the Centre and state governments," he was quoted as saying in a party statement.
Noting that BJP does not have a majority in the Rajya Sabha, he told them that with their studiousness and strategy made by the party and government and qualitative participation, they can make its ideology and information about the welfare programmes of the government reach the people through public speeches.
"This activity must reflect our ideology," he said.
