BJP plans programmes to woo youths

The BJP has directed its Yuva Morcha to identify the youths who were not associated with any political party or interested to join any party. The party’s youth wing will have to ensure their presence in the events.

While in mahakumbh,party president Nitin Gadkari will try to attract youths,during yuva sansads other leaders will do the same by organising debate over the issue of corruption. They will also make the youths aware of the difference in stands taken by the BJP and other political parties over the issue.

As per the plan,three to four teams of BJP’s youth wing would participate in debates during the yuva sansads. While one team will play the role of BJP parliamentarians,others will play the role of their Congress,Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party counterparts.

According to party leaders,each team will speak the statements that the respective political parties had stated in Parliament over the issue of corruption and Anna Hazare’s anti-graft campaign. Youths from audience will also be allowed to speak during these programmes. Party district president or any other senior leader will play the role of ‘Speaker’.

“We will highlight the stand BJP took on the issue of corruption and how it continuously raised voice against corruption and took the agitation to streets but other political parties did not show that enthusiasm against graft,” said Rahul Mishra,media in-charge of BJP Yuva Morcha.

Sources said that organisation of ‘yuva sansad’ is the idea of Sanjay Joshi,deputy in-charge for UP.

After Noida,the second mahakumbh would be organised in Jhansi while others are likely to be held in Braj,Kanpur and Gorakhpur regions of the party. Party president Nitin Gadkari will address all the mahakumbhs.

These ‘mahakumbh’ and ‘yuva sansad’ would be followed by ‘Nav Matdata Sammelan’,between November to December,to felicitate new voters — between age of 18 to 24 years — who would cast their vote for the first time in the upcoming Assembly elections.
