Nabin chairs meet to discuss BJP’s response to Oppn’s Nov 1 rally

On Sunday, BJP national president Nitin Nabin convened a meeting of party office bearers at the headquarters in New Delhi to deliberate on the party's social media tactics and outreach in light of the upcoming assembly elections in five states and the Congress's opposition to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah and National General Secretary (Organisation) BL Santhosh were present at the meeting. The discussion centered on the party's response to the Opposition's planned rally against SIR on November 1. The BJP has already launched the Rashtra Chintan Samvaad, a nationwide outreach program led by senior ministers Piyush Goyal and Kiren Rijiju, alongside Sunil Bansal and Smriti Irani, to counter the INDI bloc's misleading narrative regarding constitutional bodies, including the Election Commission.

The functionary explained that various teams will engage with students, professionals, and homemakers to debunk the concerns surrounding SIR and highlight the reasons behind its necessity, as the Congress seeks to include illegal immigrants as voters. With the Opposition aiming to make SIR a significant issue in the elections in Uttar Pradesh, Manipur, Punjab, Goa, and Uttarakhand, the BJP is intensifying its efforts to counter these concerns.

To address the public's queries, the party plans to disseminate information about the past conduct of SIR and the outcomes of recent elections in states where it was implemented. The functionary emphasized the importance of people understanding that the Congress, along with other parties, is joining forces to challenge the Supreme Court, the Election Commission, and other institutions to divert attention from their own electoral defeat.
