Bihar BJP camps in city to woo voters from Poorvanchal
2 Dec 2013 5:47 AM IST
And the most active person seems to be Nagendra, the general secretary of Bihar BJP. He has been camping here since the last 10 days with a team of over 350 men, including eight former ministers, 12 parliamentarians, 40 MLAs and several office-bearers of state as well district level.
Though campaigning in Delhi is different from that of Bihar, BJP leaders are striving hard to address public meetings in tandem with their Delhi counterparts.
While comparing the electioneering process, Bihar BJP president Mangal Pandey says that in Bihar about 80 per cent constituencies fall in rural areas, while in the national capital the situation is just the opposite. Here 90 per cent constituencies are under the urban ambit.
He further added that in urban constituencies leaders have limited time to establish direct contact with voters as most of the electorate is not available during the office hours.
Stressing on the power of migrants in the national capital, former minister Giriraj Singh said Delhi hosts nearly 72 million people from outside. Thus, migrants constitute nearly 47 per cent of the total population of the national capital.
Rejecting the idea that marathon campaigning by Bihar CM would dent the prospects of BJP candidates in the migrant-dominated constituencies; Kumar’s bête noire said, ‘Voters will teach him a lesson for betraying the masses in Bihar by splitting the alliance. We are not worried, it’s time for them to leave the field.’
Another MLA Usha Vidhyarthi, who has been assigned the task of wooing Poorvanchali voters in the constituencies of Malviya Nagar and Kasturba Nagar, said the wave is in favour of BJP only. ‘Sheila Dikshit should voluntarily accept her defeat,’ the MLA advised.
The Bihar unit of BJP is active in 40 constituencies that include Palam, Dwarka, Burari, Kirari, Laxmi Nagar and Vishwas Nagar constituencies.
Party’s state secretary Mritunjay Jha has positioned himself in Kirari constituency for the last 10 days and is working even in odd hours to retain the seat for Anil Jha, the sitting MLA.
