Prime Minister Narendra Modi today through video conferencing held talks with the party workers of Hamirpur, the Parliamentary constituency of Himachal Pradesh. It was the only constituency out of four that comprise of Mandi, Kangra, Shimla and Hamirpur that was chosen for this activity. Anurag Thakur, MP of the party for this constituency has been ranked to be on the top as far as being active on social media is concerned.
It was today morning that Anurag Thakur while talking to a daily, told that the parliamentary constituencies where MPs have been more actively making posts on the social media have been opted by the Prime Minister for an interaction with the party workers.
Anurag said, āIt was a privilege for me that the PM has selected my parliamentary constituency to directly interact with the party workersā. Currently, he has around 12 lakh followers on Facebook and 8 lakh followers on Twitter.
Nonetheless, PMās this attempt to talk to the party workers by way of video conferencing at the ground level was nothing short of a strategy that the party is making to make the most out of the social media in the parliamentary elections that are to be held in the year 2019. As per the sources, the BJP party intends to make optimum use of different social media platforms in the elections that are to be held next year.
Moreover, the party workers were being educated to make efficient use of the social media and disseminate the present NDA government policies and counteract the negative propaganda, said the sources.
Anurag was already confronting great challenges for the parliamentary elections since his father Prof. PK Dhumal had lost the assembly elections for the year 2017 in spite of being placed as a Chief Ministerial candidate. Modiās this move is said to perhaps be of some benefit to Anurag.
Currently, the hot issue for the assembly elections was the Central University of Himachal Pradesh. The MPs made their best efforts to lay the foundation stone of the university this year. The institute has to be set up at Dehra in the area of Hamirpur and at Dharamshala in the parliamentary constituency of Kangra.
