Jagran Bureau, New Delhi | The Bharatiya Janata Party has prepared fresh strategies to counter the INDIA bloc and the Cockroach Janta Party-led ongoing campaign against the Election Commission of India and the government over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). The BJP will deliver door-to-door booklets to spread awareness about the Election Commission of India's initiatives. The party workers will distribute booklets to every household, providing information on the issue.

However, experts say that this strategy will work if the poll body is proactive in convincing the people about its action to clean the electoral roll.

BJP's Youth Outreach Programme Under 'Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao' Drive

The BJP's youth wing on Sunday launched a nationwide youth outreach programme under the party's "Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao" campaign. In a statement, the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) said the month-long outreach programme under the campaign aims to establish a "meaningful dialogue" with young citizens on the issues related to democracy and counter "misleading information". The BJYM also launched an essay competition on the topic - "Democracy, Not Anarchy".

It said the move also seeks to encourage conscious and active participation of the youth in nation-building. "The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) today launched nationwide youth outreach programs as part of the Bharatiya Janata Party's 'Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao' campaign. This campaign will continue until November 30," the BJP's youth wing said.

"The initiative aims to foster meaningful dialogue with young citizens on issues concerning democracy, counter misinformation, and encourage the informed and active participation of the youth in nation-building," it added.

Traders Against Opposition's Nov 1 Rally

Meanwhile, the CJP is currently silent, and the opposition parties are under pressure from traders to postpone the rally, scheduled for November 1st, to post Diwali. They were not receiving mass support from youth, as in the paper leak protests in Jun-July, which is a big relief for the government.

However, it is also felt that even though the public may not be seen on the streets, they still have questions about certain issues. Especially when ruling party spokespersons turn to history and explain what happened under opposition governments. It is also seen that the BJP and the government have failed to field popular figures, who are vocal on social media, from the fields of film, literature, and industry against the opposition's campaign.

During the post-NEET protests in July, Prime Minister Narendra Modi engaged with youth via Instagram. However, the rest of the government and party were struggling to establish meaningful communication. Party sources believe that in these challenging times, the absence of a managerial leader like Arun Jaitley, who intervened in every sphere beyond politics, is being felt most.

In fact, it is noticed that that issues that should be addressed from a legal perspective are met with political responses. Actor Naseeruddin Shah's anti-government agenda is longstanding, but a similar popular voice from the film industry is missing in favour of the government. There's a segment within the film industry that trusts the government's decisions, yet they are all silent.
