Haryana BJP faces dearth of party workers, forced to bring in cadre from Indore

Garhi Sampla Kiloi Bharatiya Janata Party is known for organising its election campaigns with great planning and coordination. But in Haryana where voting for the 90-member Assembly takes place on October 15, the BJP is facing a dearth of workers even though the party won 7 out of 10 Lok Sabha seats in the 16th Lok Sabha elections just a few months back.

BJP sources told IBNLive as many as 9,000 workers have been brought in from Madhya Pradesh's Indore alone to campaign for the party.

BJP worker Naveen Mittal has come Indore and is camping in a

dharamshala rented by the party in Rohtak district's Garhi Sampla

Kiloi. Mittal says that such a situation arose due to lack of local workers in Haryana.

"There is a dearth of party workers here especially in this region. Many of our co-workers from Indore have been actively working for the party here since last two month," he said.

Senior BJP leader and Madhya Pradesh Urban Administration and Development Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya, who is als BJP's campaign incharge for Haryana, is the driving force behind these workers' enthusiasm.

"Our Minister has done so much for Indore. Come to Indore and you will see the difference. We have come here following his advice. We want all the states to be BJP-ruled so that it becomes easy for PM Modiji to rule at the Centre," said another party worker from Indore.

But the dharamshala rented by the BJP for elections in Garhi Sampla Kiloi wears a deserted look on a Sunday even as other parties are busy campaigning. It seems the 'Modi wave' is yet to hit this constituency of Congress leader and Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda.
