With an aim to garner support of farmers in the national capital, Delhi BJP will list their issues and then include them in its election manifesto for the forthcoming Assembly polls.
According to party leaders, they will also hold meetings with farmers and apprise them about the works done by Narendra Modi-led government.
A senior BJP leader said that party would tell farmers that since BJP has come into power at Centre, diesel prices have been gone down which has benefited them.
"There are 360 villages in the national capital and in which, more than two lakh voters reside. Keeping this in mind, we have prepared a plan and according to which, we will list the issues of farmers and include them in our election manifesto for the forthcoming Assembly polls," Vinod Tyagi, president of Delhi BJP Kisan Morcha, said.
The BJP leader said that they have set a target of enrolling 50,000 farmers in the party and till now, we have enrolled 12,000 farmers.
"Party will soon hold a series of meetings with the farmers in villages and garner their supports. In these meetings, we will also apprise them of several good works done by Central government for them," Tyagi added.
Party had recently started roping in city's barbers and small grocers for its poll campaign, saying that people in large numbers gather at their shops due to which party can connect with more voters.
