BJP to Assess Impact of Anti-SIR Protests Across West Bengals 294 Assembly Seats

Kolkata, November 14 (Daily Kiran) : The West Bengal unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to assess the impact of nationwide protests against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral roll, initiated by the “Cockroach People’s Party” (CJP) and other opposition groups.

To carry out this evaluation, the party has decided to deploy special review teams across all 294 assembly constituencies in the state. Each team will engage with at least 200 individuals from diverse economic, professional, social, ethnic, and religious backgrounds to gauge public opinion on the anti-SIR movement.

In addition to understanding public sentiment towards the protests, these teams will also launch a counter-campaign. They aim to present the BJP’s perspective on the electoral roll revision and respond to arguments put forth by the CJP and opposition parties.

A member of the BJP’s state committee stated that the party intends to expose the alleged chaos and disorder caused by the CJP and opposition parties through pamphlets and discussions. This initiative will extend the recently held “Save Democracy, End Chaos” rallies across various parts of the state.

The process will unfold in several phases. Initially, teams will identify at least 200 individuals in each assembly constituency, ensuring representation from various economic, professional, social, ethnic, and religious groups.

In the subsequent phase, team members will visit these individuals at their homes to gather insights. They will listen to opinions on the nationwide anti-SIR campaign without any pressure.

After understanding the public’s concerns and perspectives, team members will then begin to advocate the party’s stance on the issue.

The outreach program will involve people from different sectors, including laborers, farmers, lawyers, teachers, doctors, and other professionals. The party aims to connect with representatives from various communities and local opinion leaders to gain a deeper understanding of public sentiment.

BJP leadership plans to compile feedback from all 294 assembly constituencies into a comprehensive report, which will then be submitted to the party’s central leadership. This exercise is expected to help the party understand the extent to which the opposition’s campaign against SIR has influenced public opinion in West Bengal, allowing the BJP to tailor its political response accordingly.
