BJP Plans Uttar Pradesh Janata Chaupals for Pre-Poll Outreach
The BJP is planning small public meetings in Uttar Pradesh.
These meetings are called Janata Chaupals or pocket meetings.
Party President Nitin Nabin has asked senior leaders to take part.
Members of Parliament may also attend.
The meetings are meant to happen before elections.
Leaders will speak with people in smaller local gatherings.
They will also help enroll more people in government welfare programs.
The BJP previously tried this approach in West Bengal alongside its social media campaign.
BJP President Nitin Nabin has asked senior party leaders to attend local-level pocket meetings in Uttar Pradesh.
