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.

There is no God but ALLAH and Muhammad pbuh is the final messenger of ALLAH who conveyed to worship ONE God ALLAH...
If Muslims bow then WE bow only in front of ALLAH not even to our mother....

ISLAM is the true religion and will gain day by day ...
Whatever ways the cheddis try to implement it will not harm a little to ISLAM...
U may force some muslims but U will never reach your target to bring your devils as Gods .

The intelligent will PONDER and search for the TRUTH.

Mysuru, Jan 19: Karnataka Rural Development and Panchyat Raj Minister K S Eshwarappa on Sunday claimed that Popular Front of India and Social Democratic Party of India have been indulging in anti-national activities.

Talking to media persons here, he said the government is mulling to ban and take action against PFI and its political arm SDPI.

It was recommended even during the previous government, but it was not taken seriously, he added.

He said that the BJP will ensure that all the MLAs who were instrumental in the party coming to power (the then-disqualified MLAs who joined BJP from Congress and JDS recently and won the bypoll subsequently) will not be let down and be given suitable posts in the government.

Now USA declared RSS as the worst terrorists. So Indian government is terrorist.

Bengaluru, Mar 3: Chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Monday introduced the Karnataka Municipalities and Certain Other Law (Amendment) Bill, 2020, in the assembly to give voters the opportunity to reject candidates in civic polls.

The bill, if passed, will enable election officials to offer the NOTA option in the elections to municipal corporations on the lines of assembly and Lok Sabha polls.

An amendment bill which seeks to enable the government to set up a separate university for the districts of Raichur and Yadgir was also tabled. The government said the workload of Gulbarga University necessitated creation of a separate university for the two districts, a move that will also help reduce regional imbalance in Kalyana Karnataka region.

Another amendment bill seeks to allow industrial units, which have failed to start operations on allotted land after seven years, to sell off the parcels to another unit. Bills which empower authorised agencies to regulate turf clubs and horse racing and regulate salary and pension of teachers in higher education institutions were also introduced in the assembly on Monday.
