Panaji:
In a bid to shed its communal image and boost its minority vote
base, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders will interact with
Christian religious leaders, including the archbishop of Goa, the
party announced Sunday.
Addressing a press conference, BJP national secretary and in charge
of Goa Arti Mehra, said: “The party feels there is a concious need
to reach out to the Christian community in the state and increase
its minority vote base by at least five percent.”
“We will be having increased interactions with Christian religious
leaders in order to put across the correct image of the BJP. We need
to clear the misconception that the BJP is a communal party. We need
such sensitisation programmes with the minority community,” said
Mehra, a former mayor of Delhi.
“We are having an interaction with Fr Agnel ashram (a popular
educational institution run by a Catholic order), where we will make
a presentation to its students. We will also meet the archbishop to
offer our respects,” Mehra said, adding that the programme would
reach out to the Christian community in Goa, before moving on to
other minority religious groups.
Mehra also said such interactions would help the BJP up its minority
vote by at least five to seven percent.
“Christians comprise nearly 30 percent of the Goan population. By
our efforts and personal interactions by our leaders, we would try
to increase our vote share in the minority community by at least
five to seven percent,” she said.
