New Delhi: In a massive minority outreach campaign ahead of next year’s general elections, the BJP Minority Morcha will be launching an “Alpsankhyak Sneh Samvad” next month to connect with the communities in all 543 Lok Sabha constituencies.
During the campaign, which will continue till the Lok Sabha polls, the BJP minority wing workers interact with the prominent citizens of the minority communities through different interaction programmes and events and explain to them how Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has worked for the communities since 2014.
The proposed “samvad” (dialogue) will start in December after the declaration of the results of the Assembly polls in five states. The event is planned by the BJP to reach out to Muslims, along with other minority communities like the Sikhs, Jains and Parsis, in a bigger way before the 2024 Lok Sabha election.
The national president of the BJP Minority Morcha Jamaal Siddiqui said that this sneh samvad is planned to make the Muslim, Sikh, Jain and Parsi communities aware of the welfare schemes and developmental initiatives of the Modi government at the Centre since 2014.
“Under the Prime Minister’s leadership, the minority communities are part of the country’s development and have also benefited from its welfare initiatives. We will tell the members of the minority community that the Modi government has not discriminated against anyone in the name of religion since it came into power. The Opposition parties created a false narrative against us for political gains,” Siddiqui said.
Siddiqui informed this newspaper that in the first phase, the programmes will be held at the Lok Sabha constituency level and later on at the Assembly level across the country.
The national media coordinator of the BJP Minority Morcha Yasir Jilani said that the sneh samvad will be held in all 543 Lok Sabha constituencies. It will start in December and continue till the general election.
The saffron party believes that winning support for a new vote bank ahead of the next general elections will further strengthen the party’s position in next year’s Lok Sabha polls.
A BJP leader said that it is part of the plan for the next Lok Sabha polls as the party is planning to get more than 50 per cent vote share and that it can be achieved only by increasing party acceptance among new communities.
