The party intends to use these examples to counter the Congress’s criticism and present its arguments before the public.
The campaign is expected to involve coordinated efforts by party leaders and organisational units across the country, with an emphasis on presenting factual information and responding to the opposition’s claims regarding electoral processes and the Election Commission.
The proposed initiative comes amid an ongoing political debate over SIR and the role of the Election Commission, with the BJP preparing to take its response directly to the public through a coordinated nationwide outreach programme. (ANI)
