To win the confidence of Poorvanchali voters in the national Capital, Delhi unit of Bharatiya Janata Party, organised this major programme to celebrate Makar Sankranti.
It is being seen as an attempt by state unit chief Manoj Tiwari to consolidate the Poorvanchal vote bank.
With Lok Sabha elections scheduled in 2019, the party wants to cash in on the vote bank, which played a crucial role in AAP’s win in the 2015 assembly elections. BJP members said the party is making serious attempts to strengthen its base in slums and unauthorised colonies, which have a high percentage of Poorvanchali population.
In Delhi, there are 20 Assembly constituencies or 80 municipal wards that are dominated by Poorvanchalis where they constitute 17 to 47 per cent of the vote share. In the 2013 assembly polls,Tiwari campaigned on 19 of these seats of which 14 came to BJP’s kitty.
Among the Poorvanchali dominated seats in Delhi include, Rajinder Nagar, Vikaspuri, Dwarka, Uttam Nagar, Badarpur, and Patparganj.
