Expansion
All the affiliated organizations of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) will stand with full force with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to ensure a hat-trick of victory in the Haryana assembly elections to be held in October. The Sangh is interfering in all matters from ticket distribution to preparing the strategy for the elections.
To ensure BJP’s victory, the RSS is focusing on increasing the vote percentage and gaining an edge over the rivals in 60 percent of the seats. For this, the RSS has also suggested to the BJP high command to give a chance to new faces in 70 percent of the seats.
According to sources in the Sangh, a comprehensive review of the BJP’s disappointing performance in the Lok Sabha elections found that the party was lagging behind its rivals in more than half the booths due to discontent among workers, internal strife, overconfidence and lack of better coordination. The biggest reason for the party’s candidates lagging behind at the booths was poor management and apathy of workers.
Benefit of experience of Co-Sarkaryavah Arun Kumar
Arun Kumar, the joint general secretary of the Sangh and the one who is in charge of coordination between BJP and the Sangh, has been the state campaigner of Haryana. In such a situation, the BJP wants to take advantage of his experience in this election. He actively participated in the important meeting held in Faridabad.
- The Sangh has advised the BJP to give tickets to all senior leaders and give a chance to new faces on at least 70 percent of the seats. For this, the Sangh has also prepared a panel of candidates on its behalf for all 90 seats.
How to handle the situation
The Sangh has decided that its workers will be active along with the BJP at all booths. Before voting, every family will be contacted at any cost. In the Lok Sabha elections, the party lagged behind at 10,072 booths out of 19,812 booths. The plan is to gain a lead at 11,000 booths. For this, all the affiliate organizations of the Sangh will take part in the contact campaign.
