Team Pawan Bajaj took a new initiative to reduce expenses on election meetings of the two teams in the poll fray and also to increase unity among the members of the Federation of Jharkhand Chamber of Commerce and Industries (FJCCI).
The team suggested inviting members of ‘Team Ratan Modi’ in its election meetings from August 30 onwards and also asked the rival team to invite them in their election meetings.
Explaining the rationale behind the innovative step presidential candidate Pawan Bajaj said, “This will not only help in reducing expenses on election meetings but will also help in ensuring brotherhood among the members of FJCCI”.
The team today reiterated its promises of solving the issue of Pandra Krishi Bazaar within 180 days of the formation of new government in Jharkhand and also shared its views on SMS campaigning in the election to save members from the deluge of SMS. The team also vowed to strive for reducing VAT on plywood from 14 per cent to five-percent. Significantly, members of the federation have welcomed the announcements made by the team.
In a meeting with election officials of FJCCI, Bajaj and Arun Budhia demanded ban on sending unsolicited SMS to members but due to opposition by Team Ratan Modi the SMS campaigning has been banned for next three days only. Reacting to the opposition of banning SMS campaign Team Pawan Bajaj stated the responsibility of inconvenience caused to a voter due to SMS campaigning from August 2 to August 5 will rest with Team Ratan Modi.
Notably, the Team Pawan Bajaj campaigned in Old Commissioner’s Compound and lake Road and held meetings in which a large number of members of Plywood Association and voters of Old Commissioner’s Compound were present. People who took part in the meeting praised the Team’s approach to work in a time-bound manner.
Team Pawan Bajaj also requested FJCCI officials to conduct meetings of teams so that voters can know about team leaders and candidates in election at one place. The team suggested that the FJCCI should obtain fee for doing so from the candidates in the poll fray.
