GUWAHATI: Five days ago, in a closed door meeting which was held in Guwahati where all the state Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) members of the legislative assembly (MLAs) were present, the state BJP leadership asked the MLAs to fully cooperate with the information technology (IT) cell of the party which will from now on work 24/7 to improve the image of the party which was “tarnished” by the Citizenship Amendment Act.
A highly placed source in the BJP talking to G Plus under condition of anonymity said, “The leadership of BJP lambasted some MLAs for not being involved with the public and just enjoying the power.”
The source revealed that some ministers were even asked not to be arrogant with the public. The IT cell from now on will promote every MLA, and the MLAs are expected to share information of their developmental works and public meetings with the IT cell.
The source also revealed that if any new party is formed (news of which is doing the rounds), the BJP’s IT cell will work towards ensuring that a negative image is projected of the members of that new party.
The source revealed that a huge amount of money will be spent on the IT cell and social media will be very carefully used in the run up to the 2021 assembly elections.
