Bengaluru, Jul 25: As a part of its election strategy, the state BJP is planning to hold a social media conclave in Bengaluru on August 6 to chalk out its action plan to reach out to the electorate ahead of next year’s Assembly polls.bjpwhatsapp

The social media cell of the party, which is organising the event, is expecting around 5,000 volunteers to attend the conclave scheduled to be held at Palace Grounds.

Union Minister of State for Commerce and Industries Nirmala Sitharaman will inaugurate the day-long event, Balaji Srinivas, convenor of state BJP Social Media Cell said.

Among other things, the conclave will review the progress of an initiative taken by the party to create at least 5,000 WhatsApp groups in a bid to reach out to voters.

25 WhatsApp groups

The plan is to create at least 25 WhatsApp groups in each of the 224 assembly constituencies.

The groups will be segmented to cater to different sections of the society.

For instance, there will be groups specific to information technology professionals, teachers, senior citizens, people who have migrated from other states and so on.

“About 60% of the groups are in place. There was a brief break as the party launched its 15-day Vistarak (out-reach) programme and volunteers fanned out to the constituencies allotted to them,” BJP IT Cell State Convenor K Amresh said.

In a way, the state unit of the BJP is trying to emulate the Uttar Pradesh model in its social media mass out-reach programme. 

Ahead of the elections in Uttar Pradesh, the party constituted a number of coordinated teams comprising information technology experts.

Regional units and district committees were constituted. These teams formed 10,300 WhatsApp groups.

Bengaluru, Mar 27: India should take a cue from the UK and Italy and allow final year medical students to skip exam and bring them into the hospital system immediately to fight the war against COVID-19, noted cardiac surgeon Devi Prasad Shetty on Friday said.

The Chairman and Founder of the city-based Narayana Health said there should be some reforms in medical education like the UK and Italy.
In the UK, he noted, final year medical students have been told that they don't need to appear for the exam, and they will be given pass based on the past performance and they can get into the hospital system to fill the shortage.

Italy got 10,000 more doctors following the move to cut short the duration of MBBS by nine months, according to him.

COVID-19 battle can be only won by young doctors and young nurses. Its like a war, Shetty told PTI.

He said: Senior doctorsnone of them will be able to touch the patients because they are past the age of 50. A person who is past the age of 50 is very vulnerable himself.

This is a very contagious disease. "But we dont have that many battalion (of doctors). We need one and half lakh doctors to manage all these government
hospitals and private hospitals (to fight COVID-19)", he added.
