Madhya Pradesh BJP's New Poll Strategy to hire magicians



No need to be surprised with the headline,  BJP intends to cast a 'magic spell' on voters during the upcoming state assembly polls in Madhya Pradesh.

The party would be roping in magicians to highlight the work done by it in the last 15 years and compare it with that of the previous Congress government, state BJP spokesman, Rajnish Agrawal told PTI.

"We have plans to hire magicians for campaigning and publicity," he said, adding that magic shows would be organised at market places to reach out to voters, especially in rural and semi-urban areas.

The number of magicians to be utilised for this is yet to be decided. But, the BJP hopes to start the magic shows soon and budget allocation for these activities is also being worked out, Mr Agrawal said.
