BJP minority members from state set to canvass in Bihar

Around 100 active Muslim members will work under guidance from Sufi Mahboobali Bava Chishti, convener of Gujarat BJP Minority Morcha. “Our members will be divided into around 20 teams and will leave for Bihar when they will be given the green signal,” said Chishti. “These teams will tour Muslim-dominated districts and reach out to local voters to explain them how peace prevails in Gujarat and there has been no curfew imposed for past 13 years, among other achievements under BJP rule in Gujarat,” he said.

The voters there will be impressed upon the importance of their votes in favour of the BJP, he said adding, special emphasis would be laid on the prospect of vast opportunities people from Bihar will have under a BJP rule and in an employment-inducing state of Gujarat.

“Currently we are preparing route maps of touring in Bihar for our teams of workers,” he said. Chisti said it was not that special teams of Muslim workers would be sent but they would be part of a larger contingent of the party workers short-listed for going to work in Bihar election campaign.
