The Gujarat unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) set up six new cells after an internal restructuring on Tuesday,party officials informed Wednesday. The new wings will be part of the 30 state-level cells of the saffron party. Samvad Cell,headed by Dr Parag Sheth,will look after the partys interaction with the public and common party workers,especially through social media like Twitter,Facebook and YouTube. This cell has been created because this is a new requirement, said Harshad Patel,the newly appointed convener of the media cell.

In the wake of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections,the party created a special Election Management cell that will take care of the arrangements during the elections. Human Rights is another important new cell.

The human rights cell will work in specific situations at a given time, said I K Jadeja,the partys state vice-president.

Trade,investor and literature publication are the other new cells. The party had also done away with two cells – bioenergy and unorganised labour. The addition or removal of a cell will depend on the exigency of the situation, said Patel.

Asked what was the significance of a cow cell within the existing party set-up,he said,The cow cell takes up issues relating to cow protection and the preservation of its progeny. This cell is different from Maldhari cell which takes care of the Maldhari community, Patel said.

Satish Patel,the outgoing convener of cow cell,said the cell worked on the maxim that survival of cows,village and nature depended on cow preservation.

The cell oversees the breeding of high-progeny bulls at specified places to produce and preserve high breed of cows.
