Mumbai: In a bid to motivate party workers ahead of the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections next year, the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) has organised “the biggest rally in the country” on April 6 in Mumbai to celebrate the 38th foundation day of the party. The party president Amit Shah will address the rally along with chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, and three lakh workers will be in attendance, said state president Raosaheb Danve. The BJP will put on a show of strength in the backdrop of Sena’s decision to go solo in the elections.
The BJP was founded on April 6, 1980. The party celebrates foundation day every year, but with an eye on Lok Sabha election, the party has decided to celebrate it to create a buzz among the party workers. Hence, the party has decided to organise the biggest rally in Mumbai. More than three lakh workers from across the state will attend this rally at BKC, said state president Danve. He said, “We are always preparing for the elections. Out of 92,000 election booths across the state, the BJP has created a network of workers at 83,000 booths. We have initiated a program of minimum 25 workers at each booth.”
