For the preparation of 2019 general elections, BJP is in the process of starting a ‘war room’ in each state. As per three party leaders familiar to this matter, these will be called ‘state contact centres’ and they will be developed in the capital of each state.
One of the leader from BJP told that there will be one calling agent for every 500 ‘shakti kendra’ (cluster of 2-3 booths) chiefs; three data-entry operators and one supervisor each; a workstation measuring 3×3-feet for every staff member; hardware such as laptops, colour printer, server room, and an Internet lease line of 10mbps speed; a meeting-cum-training room; and a small cabin.
Another BJP leader shared that these war rooms will create a database of voters and share specially designed campaign material and the tour dates of senior leaders with them through email and social media.
A third BJP leader told that these facilities will also be used for the upcoming assembly elections in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
