Nagpur: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday addressed party’s booth level workers through video conference beamed live across the country in exercise aimed at boosting their morale. None from city actually participated but 200 to 500 prominent workers gathered at specially fixed venues in each of the six Assembly segments to watch the event.
The hour-long ‘Sanghatan Samvad,’ started at 1 pm though workers had started gathering from 11 am at venues. They were also asked to give cash donations in envelopes along with slips mentioning details of each donor, collected in boxes at venues.
Modi oozed confidence and hardly looked tense given the war-like situation with Pakistan. He opened his remarks with enemy plans to destabilise the country and appealed for unity in this hour of crisis. Then he quickly switched over to domestic politics.
“The whole world will be watching us in the biggest electoral exercise in the next two months. This time it will be a battle between a cadre-based disciplined, democratic party and those ganging up to usher back the days of corruption and dynastic rule,” he asserted.
The first one to converse with Modi was Rajni from Agartala in Tripura followed by another lady worker Vjay Lakshmi in Jamshedpur. A speaker from Jhargram in West Bengal, another from Coimbatore followed by one each from Shimla, Mangloi in Assam, Porbander and the last— Rakhi — from Pune got the chance to converse with Modi.
Modi exhorted each booth-level worker to be in close contact with at least ten families till polling date to brief them about the achievements and welfare schemes of his government. On use of social media, he asked workers to rely on positivity and to shun all fake news and views. He warned that if a stable government was not in place again in 2109, all the hard work and fast development he brought in would go waste.
