The Bharatiya Janata Party has made elaborate pan-India arrangements to understand what people want so that the inputs can not only find a place in its manifesto but the Lok Sabha campaign too can be run accordingly.
The party has decided to seek more than one crore suggestions for its manifesto through 6,000 boxes that will be placed in different parts of India.
Calling it “Viksit Bharat, Modi Ki Guarantee” — the BJP has rolled out 500 LED vans for its election campaign. There will be a whopping 37 launch programmes on February 27-28 in all states by chief ministers, deputy CMs, and state BJP presidents. There will be around 1,000 district-level campaign launches on February 28-29. Together they constitute the first leg of the BJP’s campaign.
From February 27 to March 15, the BJP will mount the second leg of the campaign where the party will organise what it calls the Viksit Bharat Cohort Milans and Samvad in 125 prominent places of the country. Cohorts will include people from various walks of life — Anganwadi employees, national award winners, jewellers, NGO members, journalists, artists, retired army jawans, and even pujaris.
What’s more, the second leg of the campaign will witness 500 LED vans being rolled out for small sabhas in 500 Lok Sabha constituencies.
Between March 8 and 10, there will be Ghar to Ghar Jansampark. From February 27 to March 15, what BJP calls prakoshth (cell) will arrange district and assembly-level meetings and get suggestions.
There will be temple visits and meals with specific groups during these electioneering exercises. Suggestions will also come through the NaMo app and a Missed Call Number that BJP national president JP Nadda launched on Monday in Delhi.
The Election Commission is expected to announce the dates of the Lok Sabha polls by the middle of March. Narendra Modi has set an ambitious target of winning 370 seats this election for the BJP.
