BJP to begin door-to-door campaigning in Guj from today

After Narmada Yatra and Gujarat Gaurav Yatra, the BJP will set off on a Gujarat Gaurav Mahasampark Abhiyan (Gujarat Pride Megaconnect Drive) from Tuesday.

To be kicked off by BJP president Amit Shah, the door-to-door campaign would begin from Naranpura Assembly constituency in Ahmedabad and would be held in all the 182 Assembly constituencies.

The Gujarat Gaurav Yatra had covered 149 Assembly constituencies, while the Narmada Yatra passed through roughly 8,000 of the 18,000 villages in the state.

Interestingly, Shah represented Naranpura constituency in the last Assembly before moving to the Rajya Sabha this year.

"The BJP workers will go door-to-door and distribute literature featuring development work done by the BJP governments in Gujarat as well as at the Centre, along with the prime minister's message," said I K Jadeja, BJP spokesperson.

Jadeja said that the party seeks to contest the Assembly polls on development agenda.

Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, Deputy Chief Minister Nitin Patel, Union ministers Smriti Irani, Nirmala Sitharaman, J P Nadda, Thavarchand Gehlot, Dharmendra Pradhan, Prakash Javdekar, Narendrasinh Tomar, Jitendra Singh, P P Chaudhary, Manoj Tiwari, Manoj Sinha, Tarun Chugh, Hansraj Ahir and Arjun Meghwal will take part in the campaign.

Gujarat BJP chief Jitu Vaghani, state ministers, senior BJP functionaries in the state and a large number of BJP workers, too, will hit the streets and spread the message of development.

With the 'vikas gando thayo chhe' (development has gone berserk) jibe at the BJP's development agenda going viral, the party is now trying to directly reach out to the electorate.
