SHILLONG, OCT 28: BJP state president Ernest Mawrie on Thursday said that his party has geared itself to fight fiercely in the upcoming elections with its social media team leading from the front to counter the anti-development agenda which many opposition parties may use against the BJP.
The party with the sole objective of development has gone on to form a social media team to counter rumours and negative propaganda spread against the party.
The social media campaign team comprises twelve members. It also has twelve district convenors with 55 constituency monitoring teams, Mawrie said in a statement.
He said recently some political opportunists shared a morphed image from 2018, trying to spread hatred against a particular religion and its followers.
Stating that the BJP is fighting the upcoming polls with its core focus on development and social issues which are affecting the youth and community, Mawrie said, “Playing the religion card is done by parties whose motive is to try and win for self-gain only wherein pro-state and people’s issues are completely side-lined. The motivating factor about the social media team is that it is not a hired team but a voluntary service offered by party karyakartas.”
The BJP president also warned that the party will ensure that this time and here after any false propaganda against the party will invite legal consequences.
“Anyone found circulating wrong information will be monitored and dealt as per the law,” he stated.
Further, Mawrie said that the social media campaign will also highlight correct information about the various central schemes and their implementing central agencies benefitting the people of the state.
This will show the real ground work being done by the BJP in the centre while also providing food for thought about bringing the BJP to power in the state.
“A double combination of BJP in the centre and in the state can be extremely beneficial for the people and all round progress will no longer be a dream but a reality. This will help fulfill people’s aspirations and put the state right back on track in terms of all round growth and development,” he said.
“It is erroneous on the part of some political parties who recently stated that the BJP should help even if it is not a part of the government. This shows that such leaders or parties are concerned only about getting central schemes for their own benefit and they are making such statements to appease the government especially the Chief Minister to get their schemes released. They are not at all bothered about the overall development of the state. To what extent these schemes are implemented and who are the beneficiaries is a different reality,” he added.
