Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Telangna unit proposes to have ‘tiffin meetings’ at each of the designated polling centres on the occasion of its foundation day on April 6. This was decided at a meeting of the top leaders, contesting candidates for the 17 Lok Sabha constituencies in Telangana and others late on March 24 night.
Presided over by the State unit president and Union Minister for Tourism, Culture and Development of the Northeast Region, G. Kishan Reddy, the meeting has finalised an election campaign programme till the last date of the withdrawal of the nominations on April 25, including meeting the prospective voters at least thrice before the polling day.
Mr. Reddy presided over a meeting of the contesting candidates, district presidents, constituency convenors, heads of various wings, ex-MLAs and others late on Sunday night where it was decided to make each polling booth as the fulcrum of political activity to interact with the voters of various sections categorising them as “A, B, C & D’.
The beneficiaries of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi Government’s welfare and development schemes at the polling booth level will be contacted and there will be interactions with the women self-groups, farmers, weaker sections, minorities and also the first time voters among the youth in all Assembly and Parliament constituencies.
Micro-donations will be accepted through the NaMo app and management committees will be established in each constituency which will hold meetings regularly to chalk out campaign plans. The party’s chosen candidate will also be participating in these meetings. It was also decided to invite newcomers from the village to the State level, especially youth.
The polling booth committees have been tasked to make themselves aware of the voters lists in their respective places. The party leadership also claimed to have held extensive consultations before finalising the candidates for the elections. Rajya Sabha MP and national OBC Morcha president K. Laxman, national general secretary Sunil Bansal and former MLAs were among those who took part in the meeting.
