Ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the BJP has planned two mega ‘Alpsankhyak Sabha’’ in January and February next year to win over minority communities, mostly Muslims, The New Indian Express has reported.

As per the report, the first mega ‘Alpsankhyak Sabha’ will be organised in Delhi in January and the second in West Bengal’s Malda district in February.

On Sunday, BJP Minority Morcha national president Jamal Siddiqui told The New Indian Express that the first such Sabha would most probably be attended and addressed by PM Modi in Delhi.

“We expect more than 25,000 people from various minority communities including Muslims, Modi-Mitras, Sufi scholars, and other prominent people from various walks of life belonging to Muslims and other communities,” he said.

“We’d request Home Minister Amit Shah to attend the second Sabha and address various issues concerning the minority people,” Siddiqui said adding that the party president JP Nadda will attend both Sabhas.

“The dates are being decided taking into account the availability of chief guests,” he further said.

According to the report, the BJP has also decided to organise the ‘Alpsankhyak-Samvad’ in each assembly segment ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. The Samvad-Karyakarm (dialogue programme) will include prominent people from minority communities, including 2 lakh Modi Mitras and Sufi saints. They will deliberate on welfare schemes with party leaders and discuss measures initiated by the government in the last nine years.

“There Alpsankhyak Samvad will be a two-way communication,” Siddiqui said.

The Minority Morcha has reportedly made 2.5 lakh Modi Mitras from Muslim and other minority communities who have liked the performance of the Modi government.
