With eyes set on the upcoming BMC elections, the BJP is rallying its ward-level activists to raise local issues on social media platforms. The party has already started data collection for the polls, which is likely to take place after the monsoon.

Speaking with mid-day, Pratik Karpe, secretary of Mumbai BJP and head of party war room said, “The BJP has the best set of people handling social media. We don’t only work during the elections, but throughout the year. Each ward has its own social media team.”
