Scores of social media influencers participated in the “Mahakumbh” organised by the BJP in the national Capital, in the presence of BJP Tamil Nadu President K Annamalai, with great enthusiasm with many getting their pictures clicked with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s at a stall on Sunday.
The former IPS officer Annamalai, who was the main speaker at the event, received a thundering applause for his address to the volunteers who have actively taken part in digital recourse by informing people of Prime Minister Narendra Modi led BJP government’s work and achievements.
With a hashtag of DelhiwithModiji, the event aimed at making use of these social media warriors to strengthen the BJP's political fight in the national capital where elections are slated to be held on May 25. People, who were wearing the saffron party’s scarf, lined up in front of the kiosks set up in the BJP headquarters to get a picture clicked with PM Modi.
Delhiites of varying ages came and readily participated in the event, with many making videos and capturing pictures to post on their various social media handles. “We have to understand that in this age and time, our role here is to find the truth and information and bring it out in the public domain. Whatever survey is being brought about in our country, ‘borders on bogus’; there is no reality to it. If you look at history, it has been the Congress party which destroyed the Constitution and dismantled it over and over again, in its 50 (odd) years of rule. Congress alone used Article 356 more than 91 times to dismiss any government from power. Now the same Congress party is setting a narrative that PM Modi wants 400 seats to destroy the Constitution. It is the Congress that made sure that anyone becoming a big leader or a threat to the Gandhi family becomes zero,” said Annamalai while addressing the Social Media Volunteers.
Annamalai said that the BJP has always believed in truth, not narrative, so we have to take the truth to the people through social media. Those who do not want the development of the country set such a narrative that works to divide the people of India. He said that whatever survey companies talk about the country is absolutely far from ground reality. Therefore, if we come to know about any survey, it is necessary to reach the ground reality information to the common people.
Annamalai said that Congress is spreading a narrative in South India today that Modi ji wants 400 seats because he wants to end the constitution, while the reality is that during the Congress era, the constitution was completely in danger and suspended. Today, if there is any first-time voter, he would have been 8 years old during the Congress government, so it is necessary to give him information about what happened to him in history.
Sushil Chauhan, aged 38 years old, said that he feels happy about being a part of such an event and taking forward the work of PM Modi and the BJP government. “It's a really good event that they have organised. Not only do I share the good things, I also talk to people and try to understand their problems and what they need. This will help us develop the country even more,” he said.
Two eighteen year old boys Krishna Virmani and Naman shared their wish to actively participate in the vision of the PM and use social media in a right way to strengthen the country. “We definitely want to carry forward the work of PM Modi to the public and use social media for it,” they shared enthusiastically, while clicking pictures with PM Modi.
BJP state President Virendra Sachdeva, who was also part of the event, took to X (formerly Twitter) and said, “Attended the Social Media Volunteers' meet with the State President of Tamil Nadu K. Annamalai, in Delhi. He emphasised the importance of showcasing data regarding the work done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Social media volunteers from the BJP Delhi unit were enlightened by the insights shared. The enthusiasm and energy of the social media volunteers clearly show the path to 'Siddhi' ahead of the Sankalp 'Abki Baar 400 Par'”
