The Bharatiya Janata Party on Sunday intensified its preparations for the upcoming by-elections in 12 wards of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, with senior leaders holding a series of organisational meetings and public gatherings across the city.

At a review meeting at the state BJP office in the morning, the party’s national general secretary (organisation) BL Santosh addressed ward-level election coordinators, ministers in charge, district presidents, MPs and MLAs. The meeting, chaired by Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva and attended by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, focused on strengthening last-mile outreach in all the wards.

Santosh urged party workers to step up efforts to highlight what he described as the benefits of the “triple-engine government” to voters in every constituency. Noting by-elections often draw limited public interest, he said the organisation must ensure that BJP supporters cast their votes early, preferably before lunchtime.

Sachdeva echoed the concern, adding that since polling is scheduled on a Sunday, voter turnout may remain low and will require focused mobilisation by ground-level workers.

Later in the afternoon, a Tridev Sammelan was held in Dakshinpuri in support of the BJP’s candidate Rohini Raj.
