New Delhi, Oct 10: In an effort to garner support from the minority community in anticipation of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections next year, the BJP plans to initiate a minority engagement initiative called ‘Alpsankhyak Sneh Samvad’ once the Assembly polls in five states conclude, sources stated.
Elections for the state legislative assemblies in Mizoram, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh will take place in November.
The launch date for the minority outreach campaign has not yet been decided, according to party sources.
“This outreach initiative will be launched after the elections to five states end and will continue till the Lok Sabha elections next year. Under the ‘Alpsankhyak Sneh Samvad’ programme, PM Narendra Modi will also hold a meeting at the national level. However, the date for the meeting hasn’t been decided as yet. As part of this initiative, leaders wielding influence in social and religious matters, as well as Modi Mitras and women beneficiaries (of central schemes) will interact with sports personalities from the minority community and other influential members of the community,” a party source stated.
The BJP’s Minority Morcha is coordinating the program, and it will be officially launched by the party’s national president, JP Nadda.
According to sources, ‘Alpsankhyak Sneh Samvad’ will encompass a range of initiatives, such as booth empowerment, targeted outreach to minority communities, women’s conferences, and a Sufi dialogue.
“The narrative will be built around PM Narendra Modi’s pitch for Reform, Perform and Transform, promoting the ideals of patriotism, nationalism and fostering togetherness through the idea of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’, ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas’, and supporting efforts to bring these ideas to fruition,” the source said.
“Outreach on the basis of development of all, not appeasement of one, combined with the BJP’s vision for collective justice, will be the objective behind this initiative,” the source added.
Additionally, as per information from party sources, the aim is to raise awareness within the minority community about the government’s welfare initiatives and its commitment to maintaining a peaceful atmosphere in society as the Lok Sabha elections approach.
A structured organizational framework has been established to execute the ‘Alpsankhyak Sneh Samvad’ program.
“The president of the BJP’s National Minority Morcha President, Cluster Minority Morcha team, State Minority Morcha team, the state in-charges for the Lok Sabha elections, in-charges of state assemblies, Assembly Team, party officials at the mandal and booth levels will be a part of the initiative,” the party source said.
