Sources state that the RSS had put in place a grassroots campaign for the BJP in the Delhi polls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of its outreach, the RSS cadres held about 60,000 meetings across the city where issues related to nationalism and public welfare measures of the Narendra Modi government were discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campaign by Sangh was launched soon after the Maharashtra election and the city was divided among eight zones, catering to 30 districts and 173 nagars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from RSS pracharaks, cadres of various associate organizations also took part in the outreach program in Delhi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, in Haryana, the BJP won 48 out of 90 seats for a third consecutive term, while in Maharashtra, the MahaYuti alliance \u2014 comprising the BJP, Shiv Sena (Shinde faction), and NCP (Ajit Pawar) \u2014 claimed 228 out of 288 seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The saffron win in these two states was attributed to the effective outreach by RSS narrative in favour of the party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLike Maharashtra and Haryana, the RSS held thousands outreach programs across Delhi through its affiliates like Laghu Udyog Bharati, Sevika Samiti and Seva Bharati, ” sources said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top leadership of BJP has made it a prestige battle for the party to win the election. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a targeted approach during the ongoing electoral campaign, the Saffron front hopes to secure power by dislodging the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party from Delhi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
