BJP plans over 200 rallies of senior leaders
For upcoming Delhi Assembly polls, the BJP has planned over 200 rallies and public meetings of its top national and regional leaders. The party will also hold a few rallies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Senior party leaders Rajnath Singh, Arun Jaitley, Sushma Swaraj, Manohar Parrikar, Smriti Irani, Venkaiah Naidu, Ravi Shankar Prasad, Rajiv Pratap Rudy will also address some rallies.
A party insider said that at least three rallies or public meetings of a senior leader will be held in all the Assembly seats. “Over 200 rallies or public meetings will be held in 70 Assembly constituencies. Senior ministers like Mr Jaitley and Mr Prasad also address targeted audiences of lawyers and professionals. Ms Swaraj and Ms Irani will speak among women. Olympic silver medallist and Union minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore will address youth and first-time voters.”
The BJP had also roped in its celebrity campaigners like Hema Malini, Shatrughan Sinha, Paresh Rawal, Kirron Kher, Suresh Oberoi, and Manoj Tiwari for the campaign. Sources said that chief ministers of the BJP-ruled states may also address a few rallies. BJP CMs Manohar Lal Khattar, Devendra Fadnavis, Raghubar Das, Vashunndhara Raje, Raman Singh and Shivraj Singh will also be approached for a few rallies.
The sources said the campaign is firmly in the hands of party chief Amit Shah, who has set up a team of 150 members to monitor the party’s election management at the booth level. One party leader, assisted by 10 workers, will be in charge of each booth and Mr Shah’s brief is simple — ensure the BJP candidate wins in that area.
The Delhi BJP’s IT cell, a team of 100 people, is meanwhile preparing to launch an aggressive campaign on social media. The party’s radio campaigns have already been airing for some time now, targeting the AAP and its chief Arvind Kejriwal, seen as the biggest threat to the BJP.
