Mumbai: In the Lok Sabha elections held in June this year, the BJP-led alliance had to suffer a huge loss in Maharashtra. That is why there was no hope of such a big success in the assembly elections. But the BJP turned the entire situation upside down in just five months. The Mahayuti alliance created history by winning 230 seats in the elections to the 288-member assembly. The BJP won 132 seats, the Shiv Sena won 57 seats and the NCP won 41 seats. Candidates of the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar), part of the MVA, won 10 seats and the Congress won 16 seats, while the Shiv Sena (UBT) won 20 seats.
How to unite the caste-divided society?
Now, in such a situation, it is natural to raise the question that after the crushing defeat in the Lok Sabha elections, how did the BJP bounce back in just five months? How did BJP and RSS work together throughout the election campaign? How did Sajjad Nomani counter the jihad vote fatwa? How to unite the caste-divided society and how to take welfare schemes to the lower strata of society? Mahayuti convener Prasad Lad has revealed the inside story of the NDA alliance’s unimaginable victory in Maharashtra… Prasad Lad is a BJP MLA and one of Fadnavis’ most trusted associates.
Speaking to India TV, Prasad Lad said that the results of the Lok Sabha elections were studied. On the basis of votes received by the BJP in each booth, three categories were created: A, B, C.
A – When more than 50 percent of the votes were received
B – 35 to 50 percent
C – 20 to 35 percent
The goal was set to increase 20 votes in each category stand.
- 90 thousand stand managers were appointed and 24,000 energy centers were created.
- About 40 immigrants were appointed to each assembly seat.
- Whichever assembly constituency the rebels were in, immediate action was taken against them and they were expelled from the party. It was ensured that local organizations did not support rebel candidates.
- Direct contact was established with 19 Dalit main caste and backward communities of Maharashtra. An effort was made to reach out to the lower section of the society by gaining the trust of the prominent people of these castes. The false narrative spread in the Dalit community about the abolition of the Constitution was put to an end.
- To counter the jihad vote, the help of the BJP’s Mitra Parivar (RSS) organisation, Sadhu-Saint Samaj, was taken. A call was made to unite to protect God, religion and the nation. With the help of the preachers, a message was sent to the Hindu society that if they do not unite, the Hindu society will be in trouble.
- Manoj Jarange Patil’s ever-changing position on the reserve was exposed. Jarange’s closeness to Sharad Pawar and Mahavikas Aghadi was revealed.
- Hundreds of Ladli Behan Yojana programs were organized. Women’s conferences were organized in all the villages, tehsils, districts and cities of Maharashtra. Statements by Congress leaders Sunil Kedar, Vijay Waddetiwar and Uddhav Thackeray were quoted in these conferences as saying that if Mahavikas Aghadi comes to power, the Laadli Behan plan will be discontinued. BJP says it has managed to convey the message to the Laadli Sisters that if MVA comes to power, the money received by the Laadli Sisters will be stopped.
- Many important schemes were made available to the people, including waiver of electricity bills for farmers, positive policy of the government regarding onion export policy and government schemes for the students of the Maratha community.
- The BJP worked hard not only for itself but also for Mahayuti’s two constituent parties, Shiv Sena and NCP (Ajit Pawar). A clear message was given to all the workers that all differences should be put aside and all their strength should be given to win the Mahayuti.
- The 40 percent of the society’s population who do not receive the benefits of the welfare plan are linked to ideology. The message of how the State will develop with the advent of the twin-engine government was successfully conveyed.
