‘Team Advani’ to draft campaign for PM-in-waiting

The team of backroom boys is led,as always,by Parindu Bhagat,a long time associate of Advani in Gujarat – known better as Kakubhai. A loyal RSS worker,Kakubhai remains the pivot of the team this time also. He will look after the job cut out for him,which is,to take care of all the matters relating to compliance with poll code of conduct and has been made in-charge of overall supervision of election work.

Former AUDA chairman and sitting member of the Rajya Sabha Surendra Patel continues as the main strategist for Advani’s public meetings,rallies,group meetings etc. He will take reports from all others on a day to day basis the progress of respective jobs given to the rest of the team.

The man in charge of all modern communication techniques Dr Shashirajan Yadav,the head of BJP IT Cell,has come a long way in his job,right from sending group SMS,short films,compact discs etc besides managing websites and blogs as well networking among internet communities that support Advani as future prime minister.

Chartered accountant Yamal Vyas will look after the drafting and issuance of press releases concerning Advani campaign,translation of his speeches and statements as well as arranging press conferences as and when needed. Dr Jagdish Bhavsar along with Nimesh Joshi (ex AUDA PRO),known for his record tenure as deputy chairman of Ahmedabad municipal school board,is busy preparing the literature for leaflets,booklets and other campaign material.

Gaurang Patel,city general secretary of BJP here,has been given the responsibility of mobilising youth workers for public meetings and rallies. The “Team Advani” has been working wonders all these election years. This time it is put on the litmus test because,for the first time it is working for the prime-minister-in-waiting.
