Motivating the party workers for next month’s Urban body polls, Chief Minister Raman Singh on Friday said that the BJP would win the election convincingly but the party workers have to play the bigger role by reaching out to each and every voter.
Addressing a meeting of the office-bearers and workers of Bastar and Raipur divisions regarding urban body elections at party’s State headquarter at Kushabhau Thakre premises, Singh exhorted party workers to work with commitment to ensure party’s victory.He said that the party will organise regular meetings and the office-bearers along with workers would go for door to door campaign in residential areas, markets, slums etc to garner support for the party.
After Raipur and Bastar division meeting, the meeting of Surguja and Bilaspur division will be held on Saturday to reach on consensus about selection of party candidates, said Singh.BJP State president Dharamlal Kaushik said that the Municipal Corporations, Municipal Councils and Nagar Panchayats where party had not performed well in the previous elections, should be identified and special attention should be given on them.
For seats held by BJP, the party workers will have to increase the public support to retain these seats. “Once the candidates are declared, we will have to work with commitment to ensure the victory of the candidates,” added Kaushik. State general secretary Shivratan Sharma said that the circumstances are favourable for BJP and all what is needed is to remain alert.
Urban Administration Minister Amar Agrawal who is also the convener of the manifesto committee for the urban body polls of the party, said that the manifesto is almost ready and will be released soon. ‘The nominations will start from November 17 and we have little time left. We all should come forward with full force for the elections, added Agrawal.
