A 10-step action plan for @annamalai_k @BJP4India @BJP4TamilNadu
Please read, share & amplify

Before #TNElections , I asked some farm-workers I know about their vote & the ladies, without batting an eyelid, said, "We're voting for the IPS Officer!"

I explained you were in BJP & as per your alliance, @AIADMK was contesting Thanjavur
They thought for a moment & said, "In that case, DMK!"
I was shocked & asked why & without any advice from @PrashantKishor , they said, "Because they're winning this election!"

You have tremendous grassroots goodwill; pl encash it

You can win the next election, if you do these 10 things:
1 Stand alone, not as part of an alliance with corrupt AIADMK: There is a widespread belief in TN that all politicians are thieves எல்லோரும் திருடர்கள்

#TNWithBJP

If you are allied with a thief, you are a thief too, not an ideologically committed party with a difference.

This reminds me of this dialogue by @Rajinikanth


Stand alone!
Stand firm!

2 Start organization-building TODAY:
With clean, committed leaders at every Panchayat, Ward, Municipal, Assembly
Undertake activities to keep cadre engaged, make a difference & win hearts
Don't give a free ride to DMK
Groom candidates for these posts starting TODAY

This is what @Sunil_Deodhar did in Tripura & @bhupeshbaghel did in Chattisgarh to resuscitate @INCIndia even though there was no anti-incumbency against @drramansingh

This vital lesson seems forgotten
A lot of recent entrants are rejects from all other parties

3 Contest EVERY election: There will be multiple elections fought. Credit Societies, Dairy societies, sports bodies, student bodies, trade unions, Panchayat, MLCs etc.
Fight EVERT SINGLE ONE as if that were the ONLY election that matters.

This will help build the cadre and their fighting spirit.
It will also provide opportunities for budding leaders to prove their mettle

This is what @AmitShah did while building @BJP4UP in 2012 - 14 but again, another valuable lesson seems strangely forgotten.

4 Spearhead the movement to reclaim Hindu temples. An awakened & empowered Hindu Samaj will be unstoppable. Appeasement is not respected, and yields zero results. The results in #AssamElection2021 are a clear example
Question is "Will we ever learn THIS lesson?"

5 Build a strong, credible, independent social media presence
Bypass MSM, you can't depend on Sun or Jaya
AsiaNet may be owned by @RajeevChandrasekar , but it is more profitable to spew anti @BJP4India vitriol.

You need more like @MaridhasAnswers
Not big budgets

#TNWithBJP

Accept the stark reality that you have no friends in the mainstream media. Please don't beg or try to woo them. It will demean you

Instead, build your own channels from the ground up.
This is what @narendramodi has done with his #MannKiBaat & the PM App

#TNWithBJP

6 Appoint an informal "shadow cabinet"

Shadow Cabinet Ministers will have expertise in that Ministry, track & monitor EVERY action by corresponding Minister, like man-to-man marking in football

Don't let DMK get away with whatever decisions or actions they take

#TNWithBJP
12/

7 With DMK's propensity for violence & disrespect for women, start self-defense classes for women & organize self-defense units in BJP-supporting neighbourhoods

Police in non-BJP governed States are lethargic; Hindus can't outsource their security to a Govt

#TNWithBJP

8 GoI Schemes
Most schemes have a Central & State component. So do taxes on fuels
States use this to their advantage to the hilt & no goodwill or credit is shared with GoI or the BJP

Please convice GoI (even move the #SupremeCourtofIndia if you have to) but

#TNWithBJP
14/

make bring in this URGENT administrative change wherein beneficiaries are informed of Central & State component. Every petrol bunk must prominently display Central & State components of taxes. This will eliminate unnecessary (& misleading politics around this)

#TNWithBJP
15/

9 Discretely & informally decide on candidates for EVERY constituency
@smritiirani has set the template in #Amethi on how to be a giant killer

During the next elections, when you announce the candidates, the people should say "Why not?" & not ask "Why?"

#TNWithBJP
16/

10 Last & least palatable: BJP HQ has zero understanding of #Tamizh mindset
Be prepared to stand up to them if they make decisions that hurt the interests of the TN unit of the party
Being able to stand up to power, to protect TN interests, is EXTREMELY important

#TNWithBJP
17/

I hope and pray that you are successful henceforth
They say a week is a long time in politics
You have 5 years to turn this around
@BJP4India once had 2 MPs in #LokSabha
You have 4!

The prayers and blessings of all nationalists are with you
Jai Hind
