NEW DELHI: Amid ongoing Congress-led Opposition protests across the country, particularly in Delhi, the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) on Sunday launched a nationwide youth outreach campaign, ‘Arajakta Hatao, Loktantra Bachao’ (Remove Anarchy, Save Democracy), which will continue until November 30.
The campaign aims to engage young citizens in meaningful discussions on democracy, counter misinformation and encourage informed participation in nation-building. The BJP said the initiative would also seek to counter what it described as the Opposition’s false narratives on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and other issues.
To mark the launch, BJYM state units organised the ‘Mann Ki Baat Yuvaon ke Saath’ programme, inviting young professionals to listen to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s monthly radio broadcast, Mann Ki Baat, followed by discussions on national development and youth participation.
"These interactive sessions were held across more than 600 locations nationwide, with over 50,000 young professionals participating in the programme. across all the states and districts of the Nation. The session involved discussion on the role of professionals in achieving the the vision of Viksit Bharat and discussion on the opportunities created by the Modi government across various fields was also held", the BJP said in a statement issued late on Sunday evening.
As part of the nationwide campaign, BJYM will organise essay-writing competitions, quizzes, elocution contests and more than 100 ‘Viksit Bharat Yuva Samwad’ town hall programmes across India.
"These town halls will bring together young people to discuss on national issues, share their aspirations and understand their role in shaping the country’s future", the BJP said.
BJYM youth leaders will also visit colleges and educational institutions across the country to interact directly with students, young professionals and aspiring leaders.
"These interactions will focus on addressing misconceptions surrounding democratic institutions and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Through fact-based discussions and direct engagement, the initiative seeks to counter misinformation and misleading narratives being propagated by the opposition and promote a better-informed understanding of democratic processes", said the BJP.
The campaign will also feature one-to-one interactions between youth icons, influencers and students. These engagements will provide a platform to examine claims circulating in the public domain, clarify misinformation and encourage young people to critically assess information before accepting or sharing it.
