PM Modi To Launch BJP’s ‘Mass Connect Programme’ To Mark Nine Years In Power

Union ministers and senior BJP leaders are all set to fan out across the country as part of its month-long mass connect exercise to mark the Modi government’s 9th anniversary, which is also seen as the ruling party’s mega outreach to drum up support as the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha polls approach.

PM to hold a rally in Ajmer

Speaking to the media, the campaign in charge Tarun Chugh said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will formally launch the exercise with a rally in Rajasthan’s Ajmer on Wednesday. The drive, though, began on Tuesday and will continue till June 30.

Also, he said that the veteran BJP leaders will address 51 rallies across the country. PM Modi may address more such public meetings besides the likes of Union ministers Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari and BJP chief JP Nadda.

‘Biggest mass connect programme’

The BJP national general secretary claimed that it will be the biggest such mass connect programme.

According to the campaign in charge, a total of 500 public meetings will be held at the Lok Sabha level and party members will connect with over five lakh eminent families — around 1,000 in every Lok Sabha constituency — across the country.

The party has divided the 543 Lok Sabha seats into 144 clusters, each having three to four constituencies.

Ministers & leaders to spend 8 nights in every cluster

Two senior party leaders, including ministers, will spend eight days in every cluster and hold various public connect programmes with different segments of society, including beneficiaries of government schemes, and present the government’s report card on good governance and the poor’s welfare, he said.

Modi’s zero tolerance for corruption

Hitting out at the Congress’ remarks on the ruling government’s nine years have been marked by incompetence and failures, Mr Chugh said that the UPA’s 10-year rule was mired in scams and scandals while the Modi government is known for its “zero tolerance” for corruption.

The opposition has sunk in dejection and frustration, he said further.

The month-long drive will see BJP workers reach households at the booth level to highlight the government’s successes and seek people’s support.

One of the campaigns during the period will be “Vikas Tirth (pilgrimage to development)”, he said, adding that party workers will visit the marks of development such as new roads, institutes and other resources built by the central government in every Lok Sabha constituency.

He added that the party has identified over 16 lakh members for carrying out the exercise, which will touch every booth.
