Accompanied by party co-in-charge Siddharth Shambhu, she was welcomed by party workers at the airport before beginning an intensive programme of organisational meetings.<\/p>\n<p>The visit is focused on reviewing the party\u2019s organisational functioning, strengthening its grassroots network and preparing for upcoming electoral challenges, including the BJP\u2019s stated goals of \u201cMission 2028\u201d and \u201cMission 2029\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3>Emphasis on government schemes and public outreach<\/h3>\n<p>Irani began her programme by listening to Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s monthly <em>Mann Ki Baat<\/em> broadcast alongside party workers at 11 am. During subsequent interactions, she reportedly instructed leaders to focus on communicating the benefits of central and state government schemes to the public rather than prioritising personal publicity.<\/p>\n<p>She stressed the need to ensure that welfare and development programmes reach their intended beneficiaries and that the party\u2019s outreach remains connected to people\u2019s concerns.<\/p>\n<h3>IT cell to assess leaders\u2019 social media activities<\/h3>\n<p>The BJP\u2019s information technology cell is set to play a more active role in monitoring the party\u2019s digital outreach. Under the proposed exercise, the cell will review social media activity by senior leaders, including the content published through their accounts.<\/p>\n<p>A performance report card will be prepared based on the findings, with the initiative aimed at improving digital communication and integrating technology more closely into organisational work.<a href=\"https:\/\/thefrontpage24.com\/?attachment_id=10510\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10510\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10510\" src=\"https:\/\/thefrontpage24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ABD13A30-5B9B-4CAA-A77A-716913413F2C.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefrontpage24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ABD13A30-5B9B-4CAA-A77A-716913413F2C.jpeg 680w, https:\/\/thefrontpage24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ABD13A30-5B9B-4CAA-A77A-716913413F2C-533x300.jpeg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Meetings with party leaders and elected representatives<\/h3>\n<p>Irani\u2019s two-day schedule includes interactions with current and former office-bearers at various organisational levels. On Sunday afternoon, she was scheduled to meet divisional and district in-charges, followed by discussions with former MPs and MLAs in the evening. A meeting of the BJP core group was also planned for the night.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, she is scheduled to hold separate meetings with MLAs, MPs and state ministers, along with a review of the work of chairpersons of various corporations and boards. Interactions with representatives of the party\u2019s wider ideological network, referred to as the <em>vichar parivar<\/em>, are also planned.<\/p>\n<p>The review is intended to assess organisational performance, improve coordination between party units and strengthen the BJP\u2019s presence at the grassroots level ahead of future elections.<\/p>\n<p>Irani\u2019s visit comes as the party begins consolidating its organisational strategy for the coming years. The series of meetings is expected to provide an assessment of the organisation\u2019s current functioning and help establish priorities for its political and public outreach in Chhattisgarh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BJP national general secretary reviews organisational activities in Raipur; directs leaders to prioritise government schemes, improve social media outreach and prepare for Mission 2028 and Mission 2029<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10509,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[116,118,117],"tags":[1708,1603,1709],"class_list":["post-10508","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-chhattishgarh","category-state","tag-bjp","tag-politics","tag-smriti-irani"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
