New Delhi: Ahead of the UP assembly elections, BJP president Amit Shah asked a Union Minister to prepare to contest zilla panchayat elections. It was a decision fraught with risks just ahead of a high-stake political battle since the ruling party generally has an advantage in local body polls.
In the recent concluded national executive at Bhubaneswar, it was announced that more than 2,500 such volunteers have expressed interests in working full-time for the party for one year, and nearly the same number for six months.
Earlier this week, Shah virtually launched the party's election campaign for West Bengal with his maiden visit to Naxalbari — the cradle of armed Left-wing insurgent movement in India. Eastern provinces and those along the Coromandal Coast are the new catchment areas under his radar.
