BJP to take suggestions from 2 cr people for Bengal manifesto


New Delhi, Feb 24 (IANS): The BJP will seek suggestions from two crore people in West Bengal for its election manifesto ahead of the Assembly polls.

BJP chief J.P. Nadda will launch the 'Lokkho Sonar Bangla' manifesto crowd sourcing campaign on Thursday in Kolkata from party state unit headquarters. BJP co-in-charge for West Bengal Amit Malviya said through this campaign, the BJP will directly engage with the citizens of West Bengal in crafting a vision for the state for the next five years by inviting them to give their suggestions.

"Two crore suggestions will be collected by the party and will be used in the creation of the BJP's manifesto for West Bengal," he said. The saffron party will use 294 specially designed LED 'raths', one for each Assembly constituency of the state.

"Suggestions will be collected through 294 LED 'raths' travelling the entire state and suggestion boxes will be placed in each of these vehicles along with a mobile or tablet to video record people's aspirations," Malviya said.

About 30,000 suggestion boxes will be placed across the state (100 in every constituency) to reach out to citizens in every corner of the states.

"People can give a missed call on 9727-294-294 and record their aspirations. Citizens can also send their suggestions via Whatsapp or SMS on this number. They can also visit the especially designed website for the purpose or send their suggestions via email," he said.

For the 'Lokkho Sonar Bangla' campaign to collect suggestions from the people for its manifesto, the BJP also held meetings with representatives of different communities.

"West Bengal BJP will conduct meetings with representatives of various communities across the state to gather their suggestions for the betterment of West Bengal," Malviya said.

In recent times, the BJP had sought suggestions for its election manifesto. For 2019 general election, the BJP crowd sourced suggestion for its manifesto. In the 2020 Delhi Assembly polls also the BJP took suggestions from common people.

Polls for 294 seats in the West Bengal Assembly will be held in April-May. The BJP, riding high on its success in the last general election in the state, is leaving no stone unturned to uproot the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress government.

In 2019, the BJP won 18 of the 42 Lok Sabha seats in West Bengal.

    Yes, election in West Bengal is important for Modi government for its influence all over India in one sense or in other sense to keep Bengal in Indian Union. Since the time of Gandhi, Bengal was exploited by “Non-Violence” and exploited by the destruction of industrial growth, exploited by fighting against S.N.Banerjee and Netaji, exploited by bringing division of Bengal encouraging Shyama P Mukherjee in the name of “Hindu Home Land”. Gandhi politics had created an Islamic East Pakistan without thinking the Muslim concentration in the Eastern region, further Muslim concentration was increased by Nehru-Liquate Ali Pact. Center neither discarded the Muslims votes in Bengal, nor sent back the Muslims of Bengal to East Bengal, like Hindu evictions from Islamic East Pakistan, even after the liberation of Bangladesh, Indira or India never kept any control over Bangladesh, allowed the Muslim control over the whole region, as the Bengal politics was based on Gandhi’s Hindu-Muslim politics, he was successful to make Nehru the PM of India by kicking out Jinnah but never thought of the future of Bengal and Eastern region. It is now BJP to capture Bengal to flourish Bengal with Industry and prosperity, otherwise, it is not only Bengal but the whole Eastern region would once go to merge with Bengal to form a Muslim dominated country when Gandhi could not sleep with peace in heaven even after death.
