Shah launches BJP’s door-to-door campaign
president Amit Shah inaugurated on Tuesday the party’s six-day ‘Gujarat Gaurav Maha Sampark Abhiyan’ ahead of the Assembly polls next by knocking on voters’ doors with a message of development.
Through the door-to-door campaign, the BJP, which is yet to declare candidates for the upcoming elections, plans to reach out to voters under 50,000odd booths in the state.
Shah launched the campaign from Naranpura constituency, from where he was an MLA earlier, after offering prayers at a temple on Sola road area.
He visited around 10 residential societies, including Parasnagar, as part of the campaign.
Amid beating of drums, the Rajya Sabha member, along with a large number of BJP workers, interacted with the residents, went inside some of the houses, asked about their well-being and requested them to vote for the BJP in the coming elections.
The people were seen welcoming Shah, who was their MLA since 1998 but had resigned from the post after being elected to the Rajya Sabha a few months back.
Shah also distributed copies of a letter written by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the voters.
Chief minister Vijay Rupani, former chief minister Anandiben Patel and other BJP leaders also launched the door-todoor campaign from different parts of the state.
Rupani campaigned in Gandhigram area of his Rajkot-2 constituency, while Patel campaigned in her Ghatlodia constituency of Ahmedabad city.
Several Union ministers – Smriti Irani, JP Nadda, Nirmala Sitharaman, VK Singh, and Prakash Javadekar – will also visit Gujarat, party’s state spokesperson IK Jadeja said on Monday.
The polling will take place on December 9 and 14 and votes will be counted on December 18.
