BJP To Deploy ‘Vistaraks’ Across Uttarakhand · deccanchronicle.com

The BJP plans to send special workers called vistaraks to every Assembly constituency in Uttarakhand.

They will stay in their assigned areas until the elections.

Their job is to meet voters and make the party’s local organisation stronger.

They will also try to enrol new members.

The workers will talk about what the Union and state governments have done over the past 10 years.

The BJP is paying special attention to nearly 3,000 polling booths where it did not lead last time.

Party leaders believe that small improvements at these booths could affect the election result.

The BJP has governed Uttarakhand since 2017 and wants to win another term.
