As part of its celebrations of Hanuman Jayanti, Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena has announced a Hindutva-centric innovative ‘Apna Abhimaan, Danush-Baan’ campaign to expand the party’s reach in the national capital and other states.
With the campaign, the party would be launching a massive membership drive. The Election Commission of India had allocated Dhanush-Baan (Bow and Arrow) as symbol of Bala Saheb Thakre’s party to the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena.
“With ‘Danush-Baan, we are taking forward the legacy of Bala Saheb Thakre with regards to Hindutva. We thought here Hanuman Jayanti is the most auspicious occasion to launch the campaign- ‘Mera Abhimaan, Danush-Baan,’ as it is so closely associated with Lord Rama who destroyed evil with this powerful weapon. A massive membership drive would begin in Delhi and other states soon to expand our reach,” said Anandrao Adsul who was also Minister of State during the Atal Bihari Bajpayee-led NDA Government.
He also announced that the party would leverage youth leadership to expand its base in 19 states for which it has formed executive committees from block to state levels.
