It could be about the Swachh Bharat campaign, a speech by Modiji on his foreign trips, during the elections or at any institutional place. All this would help convince to join thes party which follows its ideology,” the Odisha pravari said.

“Our government want inclusive growths in every field and in branding BJP- the Lotus symbol in every mind. To make it possible, each one of us must post at least 3-4 posts on Twitter or Fcebook everyday on party’s affairs and events,” he urged party workers.
