How BJP plans to celebrate 9 years of Modi government
To mark Prime Minister Narendra Modi completing nine years at the helm of the central government, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has chalked out a grand month-long "special contact campaign" across the nation. The saffron brigade's pan-India celebrations will start on May 30 and continue till June 30, covering all Lok Sabha constituencies, which assumes significance ahead of the general election next year.
Why does this story matter?
This significant development comes days after the BJP faced a landslide defeat in the recently concluded Karnataka Assembly polls. With the 2024 Lok Sabha polls just a year away, this loss is also being viewed as a major setback for the saffron party. To note, the Congress bagged a crucial win in Karnataka by securing 135 seats in the state's 224-member Legislative Assembly.

The BJP plans to hold simultaneous press conferences on May 29 nationwide, reported NDTV. Union ministers, Leaders of the Opposition, chief ministers, deputy chief ministers, and other top leaders of the saffron brigade will reportedly organize these events in all state capitals. Furthermore, they will interact with social media influencers and communicate the Modi government's achievements over the next two days.
