JULY 2019 l PARlIAMENTARIAN 37The Modi and Shah’s BJP is so
concerned about its future victories that
it decided to increase its members by
20 per cent soon after the elections The
party’s goal to bump up the membership
by 20 per cent more is not only
aggressive but a guarantee to boost
party’s performance in forthcoming
assembly polls. Panna Pramukhs,
vistaraks, RSS whole timers and
thousands of its office bearers and
workers are engaged in making
preparations for forthcoming elections
round the clock throughout the year.
Panna Pramukhs play pivotal role in
election management at primary level.
Now, in elections it’s BJP which sets the
agenda, manages issues successfully
and forces others to respond. While,
before the polls of 2019 the BJP used to
respond to the issues set by others.
However during 2014 to 2019 it
perfected the art of setting agenda and
managing issues at every level. Recently
held elections were an example wherein
the opposition was forced to abandon
its tried and tested tricks of secularism
vs communalism, minority vs majority,The newly emerged
Bjp is now a parTy
wiTh a difference in
iTs real Terms. iT is
now a confluence
of diverse views. iT

creaTion of wealTh
and free enTerprises.

It was able to deliver a message to its
voters that only the BJP can convert the
country into a strong and resurgent
India. An India which stands tall in the
world order, which can see eye to eye
with world’s top powers and which can
convert it into a superpower in terms of
economy and national security and an
India which strikes back and can stand
before Chinese hegemony in the region.
The concept of unstoppable India and
unstoppable BJP are converted into one.
So it’s new BJP of a new India.
The newly emerged BJP is now a
party with a difference in its real terms.
It is now a confluence of diverse views.
It is not opposed to creation of wealth
and free enterprises. But it is not a
capitalist party in rigid terms. It is pro-
people at the same time. It is credited
with launching world’s largest schemes.
And its right wing lineage and
nationalist approach have never been a
secret.
Under the leadership of Amit Shah
and Narendra Modi, the BJP has
converted itself into a party which is
always ready to face elections.
The party has successively placed a
mammoth poll machinery which is
always election ready. While all other
parties are still in aftershock of defeat
in general elections of 2019, the BJP is
preparing for forthcoming assembly
elections in full throttle.
Free from the tantrums of strategists
and pollsters the new BJP is more
focused on increasing its strength and
the number of its members at booth
levels. It focuses more on booth
management and it is not complacent
at all. Soon after the victory in recently
concluded elections, Party President
Amit Shah has very emphatically stated
that the BJP may have notched up its
best ever tally in the recent Lok Sabha
polls but it is yet to reach its peak. He
made it clear while chairing a meeting
of top party office bearers that the party
cannot reach its peak without forming
governments in states like Kerala and
West Bengal, among others.
