State, District and Mandal level training - 2 days.
Direct Marketing: Party Workers and RSS
Rally, Road-Shows and PR
● 51 days, 1.3 Lakh Km, 142 rallies plus four road shows reaching 1.5 crore people
○ 29 rallies in U.P., 17 in West Bengal, 17 in M.P. and Rajasthan
○ ‘Spiritual break' on May 18 ,19 in the shrines of Kedarnath and Badrinath.
● The Bharatiya Janata Party became the number one advertiser on television in
the run-up to assembly elections according to BARC data

reached even the remotest villages and millions of people every month
Innovative Campaigns
Campaign Highlights
Getting the Communication Correct
● The BJP’s ground-breaking victory is the result of political communication done right. It’s time we
understood how politics is all about storytelling.
○ Focussed on national security and clean government
● The idea of every vote going straight to make Mr. Modi PM rather than to an individual candidate was
pushed at every meeting by BJP leaders
○ “Aap button dabayiye aur seedha vote Modi ko Pradhan Mantri banayega“
● 2019 Elections: BJP Launches Crowdsourcing Initiative for Manifesto - The party said to 'democratise' the
process, suggestions from over 10 crore people in 4,000 constituencies would be sought.
● Congress leaders, instead, asked for proof of the air strikes. This type of communication is not just negative,
it's fatal for a party which is already trying hard to escape the 'anti-national' pigeonhole.
○ “Chowkidaar Chor hai” “Neech Aadmi”
