With elections looming large, the Rajasthan BJP is trying all tricks in the book to woo minority voters in the state. The party's Minority Morcha has decided to work during the month of Ramzan to make inroads in the community.

During the month of Ramzan, efforts will be made to include the members of Muslim community in the party to help propagate plans of the Central and state governments. A meeting of the Morcha was held on Monday at the state BJP Headquarters. Morcha workers were instructed to work for the organisation during the Ramzan month so that the BJP's 180-plus target could be completed in the upcoming Assembly elections.

"BJP Minority Morcha workers usually do not work in the month of Ramzan as the Muslim workers keep fast. Therefore, they are usually not involved in organisational activities during Ramzan. This time due to the Assembly elections, the Morcha has decided to organise organisational programmes during Ramzan. All the workers of the Morcha will work to connect with the Muslims during the month of Ramzan," said Hameed Khan Mewati, state general secretary of Minority Morcha.

The Muslim community collectively breaks fast (roza) and that is the time when BJP workers will distribute promotional material related to the plans of the state and Central government during Iftar. Also, in every district unit, the Roza Iftar party will be organised. During this time people of all communities will be invited," he added.

Also, in every district unit, an Iftar party will be organised, which will see the attendance of BJP's national and state unit officebearers, MLAs and ministers. Jaipur City President of the Morcha Mahmood Khan said the workers will also work for the party during Ramzan. After the namaz in Ramzan, the welfare schemes of the state government will also be promoted.
