DHAKA: India’s ultra-religious group Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has resumed its training camps after a long break when it diverted its cadre towards the goal of accomplishing regime change in Delhi.

In the Sangh’s scheme of things, training activities are supposed to be a ceaseless affair, which goes on throughout the year, but this year the Nagpur-based leadership had decided to break from what is treated as sacrosanct so that lakhs of its cadre worked to bring about the change.

Sources said the Sangh leadership broke down lakhs of booths in 428 constituencies contested by BJP into ‘friendly’, ‘favourable’, ‘battleground’ and ‘difficult’ categories.

The booths where BJP has consistently scored over its rivals and those with chunks of voters sympathetic to the party were tagged ‘friendly’ and ‘favourable’, in that order.

However, Sangh focused on ‘battleground’ seats — those which could be wrested from rivals — and ‘difficult’ ones which have traditionally been averse to supporting the BJP.

Details of voters in each booth, especially house numbers and phone numbers through which they could be contacted, were uploaded on a portal ‘Bharat Vijay’ which was secure and could be accessed only by designated functionaries and was also uploaded on tablets which were distributed among district-level office-bearers

The focus was on ensuring a big turnout, especially of the youth, reports The Times of India.
