Overseas Friends of BJP (UK) held its Karyakarta training day in Indian Gymkhana Osterley, London on Sunday, 2nd December 2018. It was attended by approximately 200 members from different towns of UK including London, Leeds, Birmingham, Liverpool and Edinburgh as well as 50 women members. Vijay Chauthaiwale, in-charge of foreign affairs cell of BJP specially flew from India to attend it.
This was the first such event in a series of programmes planned to galvanise the Indian diaspora in UK, to support the 2019 election campaign of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. OFBJP UK has devised a new strategy to connect the maximum number of diaspora to BJP. It has grouped its members based on the state of their origin in India, which has proved very successful. 20 such state groups were represented in the daylong programme. It also has plans to take it to districts and parliamentary constituency level.
Along with Mr Chauthaiwale, Manoj Ladwa, one of the leading members of the Modi’s campaign team from UK; and Dr Anand Arya, vice president of OFBJP UK guided the participants on the background and history of OFBJP UK, the methodology and strategy of supporting Modi’s 2019 election campaign.

There was great enthusiasm amongst the participants who suggested noble methods to support the 2019 election campaign.
