New Delhi: The BJP is preparing to launch a nationwide campaign next week to counter Congress allegations over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and the functioning of the Election Commission of India.
The party plans to take its response directly to the public with MPs, MLAs and senior leaders likely to be assigned responsibilities in their respective constituencies. The outreach will focus on presenting the BJP’s version of events and addressing questions raised by the opposition over the electoral roll revision exercise and the Election Commission.
BJP Preparing 24-Page Dossier
According to senior party sources, the BJP is preparing a detailed 24-page dossier responding to the allegations and questions raised by the opposition. The document is expected to serve as reference material for party leaders and workers during public outreach programmes.
The campaign will also use social media and other communication platforms to reach a wider audience and explain the party’s position on SIR and the Election Commission.
Party to Target Congress Over Its Past Record
Alongside rebutting the current allegations, the BJP plans to raise instances in which it alleges that the Congress misused the Election Commission and other institutions while in power.
The party intends to use these examples to challenge the Congress’s criticism and put forward its own arguments before voters. The proposed campaign is expected to involve coordinated efforts by the BJP’s organisational units and leaders across the country.
The planned outreach comes amid an ongoing political dispute over the SIR exercise and the role of the Election Commission. The BJP is preparing to take its response beyond party platforms and present it directly to the public.
