After Chhath, the Grand Alliance will intensify the joint campaign in Bihar. There is huge demand for the meetings of Tejashwi, Rahul and Priyanka. Leaders are being deployed from the war room of Patna on the basis of social equations.
Patna: After Chhath festival, the temperature in Bihar politics is going to increase further. All the constituent parties of the Grand Alliance are now going to enter the field with full preparation. After resolving the intricacies of seat sharing, now all the parties have intensified work on the strategy of joint campaign. Preparations for the meetings of Tejashwi Yadav, Dipankar Bhattacharya and Mukesh Sahni are in full swing. It is being told that the round of meetings of the leaders is going on in the war room of the Grand Alliance, where brainstorming is going on for hours regarding region wise programs, dates of leaders and platform sharing.
Demand increased regarding Rahul-Priyanka’s meetings
At present, the biggest discussion within the Grand Alliance is about the star campaigners of Congress. Demand for meetings of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi is continuously rising from every district. Many candidates want that one of these two leaders should come to their seat, so that the enthusiasm of the public increases and the party workers get new energy.
Constant contact is being made in the War Room on behalf of the candidates so that meetings of Rahul or Priyanka can be scheduled in their areas. According to sources, Rahul Gandhi’s first meeting is proposed after October 28. This will be the first major public meeting in Bihar after his ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’, which the Congress is considering as a “restart” of its election campaign.
Precise political mathematics in the deployment of leaders
The strategists of the Grand Alliance are selecting leaders for every region keeping in mind the social and political equations. Imran Pratapgarhi is most in demand in Muslim dominated areas. Candidates from upper caste dominated seats are demanding to call Digvijay Singh.
Leaders like Himachal Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Kanhaiya Kumar, Pappu Yadav and Akhilesh Prasad Singh are also in strong demand. By looking at the social-caste dynamics of each district, it is being decided which leader to send where, so that the message reaches the crowd as well.
The entire operation of the Grand Alliance is going on from Gardnibagh War Room.
This entire campaign is being monitored from the war room located at Gardanibagh in Patna. It is from here that it is being decided which leader will go to which area, who will share the stage with him, on which day the rally will be held, and how the media coverage will be. Sources reveal that real-time monitoring is taking place on digital screens. From the preparations at the venue to the social media trends, a close watch is being kept.
The command of social media promotion is also here
The digital campaign of the Grand Alliance is now being run under the Integrated Control Centre. Not only are posts and graphics being prepared from here, but even planning for live coverage of meetings and making of reels is being done from here. A joint media desk has also been created to increase coordination between the teams of Congress and RJD.
Political temperature will increase after Chhath
Only after Chhath festival, meetings of leaders, road shows and public relations campaigns will start rapidly. The grand alliance under the leadership of Tejashwi Yadav is preparing for a “doorstep campaign”, while the Congress will focus on reaching out to the youth and farmers through its “Voter Adhikar Yatra”. According to political observers, the month of November can prove to be the turning point of Bihar politics, where it will be decided whom the public is listening to and whom it is rejecting.
