Polls approaching in 5 states, PM to meet BJP volunteers in Bhopal

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet around 3,000 selected volunteers, who will be spending 10 days in constituencies in five poll-bound states for laying ground for the party’s electioneering, in Bhopal on June 27.

PM Modi, who is visiting Madhya Pradesh for official functions including the flagging off Jabalpur-Indore Vande Bharat Express, is expected to address the volunteers and give them “tips” for electoral success, sources said. “Modiji will be talking to them exclusively. He is expected to share the mantra of success with them,” said a source.

The volunteers, mostly professionals who have been selected from Lok Sabha constituencies across the country using the NaMo app platform, have been given training for the BJP’s election preparations and ground work. They will spend 10 days in the constituencies of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Telangana and Mizoram, where elections are due this year. They will be sent to the constituencies on June 28.

The volunteers were picked from over 8,000 party workers who had volunteered for the BJP’s election work. They will go back to their respective places after 10 days and would be assigned with works for the Lok Sabha elections.
