New Delhi, May 29, 2018 : The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today embarked on a campaign to reach out to voters ahead of the crucial 2019 general elections. Called ’Sampark for Samarthan’, the BJP will target 1 lakh prominent personalities across the country over the next 15 days and tell them about the four-year achievements of the Narendra Modi-led government.

 

BJP president Amit Shah himself kick-started the campaign on Tuesday. His first stop was the residence of former army chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag. Suhag was the army chief under whom the Modi government orchestrated the surgical strike against Pakistan in September 2016.

"As part of the ’Sampark for Samarthan’ campaign, met former Army Chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag ji at his home in Delhi to discuss and brief him on the several achievements and initiatives undertaken by Modi sarkar since it was voted to office 4 years ago," Amit Shah tweeted after the meeting.


Gen Suhag said Shah and he talked about the state of farmers and villages in the country. He remained mum on the possibility of him joining politics in the wake of this meeting.

As part of the campaign, top 4000 BJP functionaries will tap 25 important persons each, mostly retired, from the fields of judiciary, army, literature, arts, cinema, music, sports, religious organisations, journalism, business, farmers’ organisations, corporate conglomerates among others. BJP functionaries who will reach out to these persons will include union and state ministers, MPs, MLAs, district presidents and top office-bearers.

On Tuesday, Amit Shah’s second stop was former secretary general of the Lok Sabha and constitutional expert, Subhash Kashyap. Kashyap gifted Shah books on Ramayana, Bhagwad Geeta and the Constitution.


After meeting Shah, Kashyap said, "There are several schemes of the Modi government that are good but there is much that still needs to be done." He said he has no intention.
