Gearing up for the upcoming assembly elections, Delhi BJP has decided to deploy 3.5 lakh party cadres as crack teams at all 11,763 polling booths in the capital.
Unveiling its strategy, Delhi BJP chief Vijay Goel said, "The party is battle ready with successful completion of its exercise to put crack teams at all 11,763 polling booths in the capital.
"The party is adopting 'back to the basics' philosophy in which party cadres at the polling booth level are slated to play the key role."
In the poll battle, flag bearers of the party at ground zero will be 11,763 crack teams comprising more than 3.5 lakh trained and well equipped party cadres. Tactically, it will not be the 70 odd party candidates but the 3.5 lakh strong crack teams which will contest these polls, Goel said.
The crack teams and party cadres would hold 'karyakarta sammelans' from July 19 to August 4 in 280 mandals in which national and state leaders would participate.
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj will inaugurate the first meeting, themed "Majboot Sangathan, Nai Sarkar" at Naraina on Friday.
Elaborating the exercise, Goel said, "At every polling booth we are constituting a 32-member crack team. Around 10,000 teams are already in place. This task was done over the last 90 days. The team comprises 12 BJP workers over 30 years of age, 12 BJP workers below 30 years of age and eight women."
There are around 250 families at every polling booth. The task assigned to this 32 member team is to reach every family.
Thus every member of the team would approach around seven families over the next few months and constantly remain in touch with them convincing them how important it is to bring a change in Delhi.
Goel said, "BJP is a cadre based party. It is not the leader but the party cadres which contest elections. In days to come these crack teams comprising 3.5 lakh committed party cadres will lead the poll charge and they will be backed by support at all levels from the party."
BJP President Rajnath Singh and senior leaders Ram Lal, Nitin Gadkari, Venkaiah Naidu, Anant Kumar and Thawarchand Gehlot would also address the 'karyakarta sammelans'.
