Calcutta:
Trinamool Congress launched a digital ‘Take shelter from the BJP’ digital campaign against alleged BJP wrongdoing in the country in an attempt to corner it ahead of the 2021 Assembly elections in West Bengal .
The BJP has made deep forays into the TMC-led state and the next assembly polls are likely to be an uphill battle between the two parties, as Mamata Banerjee, who is a harsh critic of the BJP, will fight to return to the power for the third. consecutive time.
Already more than 2.89,784 people have logged in to the site and tagged themselves safe, the party said.
The TMC digital campaign is a brainchild of poll strategist Prashant Kishore and his I-Pac team.
To participate in the campaign, people will need to click on the new website savebengalfrombjp.com to register and take shelter from alleged wrongdoing by the Saffron Party across the country.
The site contains messages such as “Are you against the politics of division among people”, “Are you against hate”,
“Will you speak against the dictatorship”, “Will you speak against the interference in your freedom”.
People must click on the question (s) of their choice and go to safety.
“The BJP destroys the social fabric by propagating the politics of division, autocracy, inequality and the restriction of individual choice. The BJP believes in the propagation of hatred by violence against marginalized communities, against women”, a Trinamool Congressional statement said about the campaign.
“The people of Bengal strongly oppose these tactics of the BJP and now, more than ever, citizens must unite against these evils,” the statement added.
A senior TMC leader said the campaign would allow many who oppose BJP policies, but who have not had the courage to come forward, to make their voices heard now with their confidentiality intact.
Previously, TMC had launched the “ Didi Ke Bolo ” campaign (Ms. Banerjee is widely known as Didi or older sister), also an original idea of Kishore, about a year ago. In it, people with grievances over any issue could contact the Chief Minister’s office by dialing a hotline number or through WhatsApp and Facebook.
