BJP to take help of magicians during Assembly polls in State

Monday, 22 October 2018 | Staff Reporter | Bhopal

Sensing tough fight this time in the upcoming Assembly elections, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has decided to rope in magicians (Jadugars) in different constituencies of the State.

While talking to The Pioneer, State Spokesman of the BJP Rajneesh Agrawal said, “The party would rope in magicians to highlight the work done by it in the last 15 years and compare it with that of the previous Congress government.”

However, he claimed that magicians are basically artists who would display their art among the public. The party will organise magic shows at market and other public places across the State to reach out to the voters. Special emphasis will be given to rural and semi-urban areas. Local party leaders are district headquarters have already been given responsibilities in this regard, he added.

Agrawal said the party hopes to start magic shows soon and budget allocation for these activities is also being worked out. “With this art, we are going to tell people about the works of the BJP government towards welfare of common people, especially the weaker sections of society in Madhya Pradesh in the last 15 years," he said.

Agrawal claimed that street plays and Jadoos are still effective medium of publicity in rural areas of Madhya Pradesh. BJP believes that they would play an important role in catering the message of campaigning to the masses.

Notably, the BJP has always relied on the magicians in the elections. In the past, in assembly elections held in Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat and in the last Lok Sabha elections, services of such magicians were sought.
