NEW DELHI: In a bid to connect with the urban youth to work for the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, its youth wing is organising the nationwide T20 cricket matches from January 11 in most of the districts.
The winners at the district level will play at the state-level and ultimately the finals will be played at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association’s cricket stadium at Dharamshala before February end. Bhartiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BYJM) chief Anurag Thakur, an MP from Hamirpur, heads the cricket association.
The matches will be played under the the BYJM’s banner “Khelega Yuva, Jitega Bharat” (Youth plays, India wins). The state units of BYJM were asked to prepare the list of at least a dozen teams in each district and the same will be scrutinised by Thakur on Saturday to announce the schedule of the matches. He is confident that it will help reach out the young generation and make them play ball with Modi.
Enthused by the success of the “Run or Unity” on December 15, the BYJM planned this cricket tournament. It is also organising on Saturday a “Ghotalon ki Barat” at the BJP headquarters here to expose the corrupt regime of the Congress-led UPA government.
Yet another programme in its pipeline is “Sarhad ko Pranam” (Salute to borders) that will take the BYJM members to the border areas to meet the villagers and the security personnel deployed there.
