NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party affiliated volunteers helped Nitish Kumar in canvassing with more than one million young potential voters during the recently concluded election campaign in Bihar , claim party leaders. As Nitish Kumar prepares to ascend the Chief Ministerial chair on Novermber 20, inviting Kejriwal and others to his swearing in ceremony, AAP leaders have begun talking about their contribution to the victorious campaign.Senior leaders told ET that, as part of their “unofficial” but full time work on Kumar and Janata Dal (United)’s campaign on social media, more than 24 people, not all of whom were party members, canvassed over Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp platforms sitting in Delhi and its fringes to vote for the Grand Alliance in Bihar.“A demand for help on social media campaign was received by us from the JD (U). They said they have great respect for our work on social media, so our help was sought. Today's invitation to Kejriwal is like an acknowledgement of his and his party's contribution to the Bihar campaign effort,” a senior AAP leader told ET. He explained that “more than two dozen” people were employed by the party for the humungous effort. While the party targeted reaching 2.6 million young Biharis between 18 and 40 years of age on Facebook, they could reach less than half of that at one million, this leader added.Speaking with ET, JD (U) leader KC Tyagi confirmed AAP’s role in the Bihar campaign. “They helped us a lot in the campaign. By canvassing on and handling out social media campaign, quietly sending volunteers on the ground, by Kejriwalji’s consistent support through comments and through personal visits,” said Tyagi.According to the AAP leader quoted earlier, the Facebook and Twitter campaigns were more broad-based and focused on the rapport between Nitish and Arvind, it also invested in the personal credibility of Kejriwal who had made his support public for Kumar. “The message was clear: Arvind’s support is for Nitish and not Lalu,” the leader emphasized.He also informed that the Whatsapp outreach focused almost entirely on reaching out to the women voters. “The former JD (U) government’s free bicycle scheme was heavily promoted from the development standpoint. For it showed Nitish Kumar government’s focus on women’s empowerment, efforts in education and availability of good quality roads in Bihar as well,” he said.
