In a significant move ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chargesheet committee on Wednesday launched its website against the Congress-led UPA Government with the theme 'dark decade of malgovernance'.
The BJP vowed to make this chargesheet people centric.
Senior BJP leaders showcased the new site at www.india272.com, where, apart from reading the main opposition party's charges against the UPA Government, people can use tools like Facebook, Twitter, Flikr and even SMSes to give feedback and complain about the UPA.
"Launched a website through which people on Twitter, Facebook, mail etc can send suggestions and comments to us," said BJP leader Gopinath Munde.
"Will go to different cities and interact with people, then we will come out with a chargesheet against UPA Government," he added.
"It was new attempt to crowd source with a "people-centric chargesheet" and it would also have offline elements where party leaders would meet people from different groups, like IT professionals or industry, to learn about their problems," said BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad.
Prasad had earlier said that the chargesheet would also cover issues of unemployment, poverty, farmers, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribe and women in addition to the issue of foreign policy and strategic security as to how institutions have decayed under the UPA.
"There have been serious violations of federal principles. Therefore, in totality the legacy of Congress-led UPA is insecure India and suffering India. This shall be the main focus, but we would like to have a dialogue with the people of India, including crowd sourcing on social media," Prasad said.
"Therefore, on the BJP website we will have a separate file where we will elicit suggestions from the people of the country and we shall also be visiting the various parts of the country to meet various association groups to know their concerns," he added.
