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.

Bengaluru, Jul 17: Karnataka Minister for Health and Family Welfare B Sriramulu on Thursday clarified that his remarks have been misinterpreted, wherein he apparently said that ''only God can save people from Covid''.

The Bharatiya Janata Party leader slammed KPCC President D K Shivakumar for spreading false information and said that my words were not meant to cause panic among the masses.

''Respected Shivakumar, this is a clarification regarding my words that have been misinterpreted and misunderstood.

While responding to claims of the opposition that the government’s negligence, irresponsibility and the lack of coordination among ministers are responsible for the rise in cases in the state, I stated that ‘these accusations are far from the truth. People need to be aware and cautious to avoid the spread of the virus. This plays a vital role in controlling the pandemic. If we fail at this crucial step the situation can get complicated. And if things go worse, then only God can save us'', Mr Sriramulu said in a series of posts on Twitter

Bengaluru, Mar 11: DK Shivakumar has been appointed as the new president of the party's Karnataka unit, an official said on Wednesday.

"Congress president (Sonia Gandhi) has appointed D.K. Shivakumar as the president of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC)," said party's general secretary K.C. Venugopal in a statement from New Delhi.

Party's state unit leaders Eshwar Khandre, Satish Jharkiholi and Saleem Ahammed are the working presidents in the southern state.

"Former chief minister Siddaramaiah will continue as the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader and opposition leader in the state legislative assembly.

MLC M. Narayanswamy and MLA Ajay Singh will be the party's chief whips in the state legislative council and assembly.

Congress appoints Anil Chaudhary as DPCC chief

The Congress on Wednesday appointed former MLA Anil Chaudhary as its Delhi unit chief, while also naming five vice-presidents for the DPCC.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi named Chaudhary president and Abhishek Dutt, Shivani Chopra, Jaikishan, Mudit Agarwal and Ali Hassan vice-presidents of the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC), a party statement said.

Subhash Chopra had resigned as the Delhi Congress chief in February, taking moral responsibility for the party's debacle in the Assembly polls.

The Congress drew a blank for the second time in a row in the Delhi Assembly polls and reduced its vote share from 9.7 per cent in 2015 to 4.27 per cent this time.
