New Delhi: The BJP’s top leadership will hold a two-day brainstorming session in the National Capital Region on November 27–28 to work out a strategy against the growing political influence of the youth-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and the Congress’s aggressive campaign.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, party office-bearers and senior Union ministers are expected to attend the meeting, sources said.
The BJP is concerned over its difficulty in countering Opposition narratives, especially on social media, where young critics of the government have become increasingly vocal.
Youth Pushback
The party is particularly worried about the CJP, whose satirical online-driven politics has found support among young Indians upset over unemployment, education and other public issues, as reported by The New Indian Express.
This besides, the Congress’s renewed aggression has also added to the BJP’s concerns. The Opposition has been attacking the government over electoral integrity, joblessness and the alleged misuse of democratic institutions.
At the meeting, BJP leaders will discuss ways to improve grassroots mobilisation, sharpen political messaging and reconnect with younger voters.
The recent gathering of the Opposition INDIA bloc in Delhi and its campaign against the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls have further raised political tensions, pushing the BJP to plan a counter-mobilisation effort.
The two-day session will also prepare the party’s strategy for upcoming assembly elections, with special focus on Uttar Pradesh, where the BJP faces a strong challenge to its political dominance.
A Bigger Challenge
Beyond the immediate elections, the meeting reflects a larger concern for the BJP: how to retain control of the political narrative at a time when a more assertive Opposition and a digitally active young population are challenging the ruling party’s influence.
