BJP to launch ‘pakode meeting’ to counter Congress

Sources said by latching on to pakoda theme, the BJP was eyeing a large chunk of voters from the weaker sections, particularly the migrants in different parts of the country, including Delhi.

Pakode pe charcha is to expose the divisive politics of Congress party and the feudal mindset of its leaders. The Congress has little respect for the poor and the weaker sections, and by organising pakoda parties, we are trying to restore the dignity of the pakoda sellers who have been insulted by the Congress, Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari told.

He said the pakoda meeting is in line with Modijis sabka sath, sabka vikas.

As per the plan, the Delhi BJP will organise a mega meeting of public representatives, resident welfare associations and party workers at Vijay Chowk opposite the Parliament House. The meeting is likely to be organised next week. The party is buoyed by the initial success of pakoda meeting held in the northeast Delhi on Sunday.

It will be a gathering of over 1,000 people from all sections of society. A host of political issues concerning Delhi will be discussed and they will be served with a variety of pakodas with chutney, said a senior party leader.

It has been planned that Tiwari himself will be serving tea and pakodas to the gathering. Party leaders said this will be the first such meeting on a large scale and subsequently pakoda meetings will be organised in all districts of the Capital by the local BJP units.

Popular pakoda walas in particular areas will be setting up their stalls outside the meeting venues. The BJP grabbed the opportunity after the PM during a TV interview remarked that people selling pakodas should also be treated as employed.
