Bhopal: BJP is going to use the ongoing nine-day ‘Navratri’ festival as the launch pad to kick off its ‘second round’ of campaigning in Madhya Pradesh for the November 17 assembly elections.
Accordingly, the party launched a three-day ‘Shakti sammelan’ in all the 12,000 ‘Shakti’ shrines in the state simultaneously on October 17 to make the BJP cadres pledge to ensure ‘massive booth victory’ for the party in the forthcoming assembly elections in the state.
“In the Shakti sammelan, the entire party leadership and cadre including chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, his ministerial colleagues, Union ministers, state and national level leaders of BJP will participate”, state BJP president Vishnu Dutt Sharma said here on Monday.
He said that the booth level workers of the party would take a vow to ensure a ‘Prachanda booth Vijay’ for the party in their respective booths on the occasion.
A booth level programme was earlier held by the party in the state in which the local party cadres made a pledge to ensure booth level victory of the party in the coming polls.
“The three-day Shakti sammelan began on Monday is the second round of campaigning at the booth level by the party”, he added.
This was a part of the strategy by the party to win the elections at the booth level by ensuring 51 percent voting for the party in each booth, he added.
The local booth level workers have been assigned the task of preparing a poll strategy and micro management plan to achieve the target.
“The 2023 assembly elections will be fought at the booth level by the party”, he said.
The party workers have been given the responsibility for creating awareness on various welfare programmes of the state governemnt and the Centre,besides countering 'false' propaganda by Congress at the booth level, he added.
