In a bid to woo voters ahead of the Assembly elections in the national Capital, the BJP on Saturday launched digital ‘raths’ showing 3D images of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and playing his speech.
The saffron party plans to press into service 28 raths (chariots) and by the month end they will increase the figure to 70. The lED panels of 3D raths are sensitive to moisture and rain. “This time, the BJP will get 70 seats and we are confident of our victory. These 3D raths — built on minivans — will visit different areas and colonies of Delhi to make citizens aware of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s thoughts and ideas about issues concerning Delhi,” said Delhi BJP president, Satish Upadhyay.
The imported 3D technology will also give Modi’s followers an opportunity to get a virtual picture clicked with him in the raths, said an official. Modi’s three-dimensional images will be shown standing on a small podium and he will talk about the issues concerning Delhi in a 15-minute speech. Meanwhile, Suresh Bharadwaj, a former BJP councillor, clarified the reports about AAP giving him a ticket from Wazirpur and said that he never intended to join AAP and never went to AAP members for a ticket. His son is the vice-president of Delhi BJP’s Keshavpuram district and daughter-in-law is a councillor from Ashok Vihar.
Also, one of the oldest auto-driver and staunchest supporter of AAP, Sanjay Chawla, joined the BJP, saying the AAP had forgotten its promises to auto-drivers and has betrayed their trust. He also handed over the details of several auto-rickshaw drivers saying they will all work to promote the saffron party. To give a boost to party workers, Modi is scheduled to address a rally at Ramlila Maidan here on January 10.
