UP BJP Plans To Set Up A“Cyber Sena” 

A well trained team of Cyber Experts, christened as ‘Cyber Sena’ will work to improve the prospects of BJP’s win in the upcoming 2019 general elections. The ‘Cyber Sena’ is the brain child of UP BJP which is planning to launch the ‘Sena’ with a massive two lakh experts named as ‘Cyber Yodhas’. At a recent meeting of the members and office bearers of the IT cell of UP BJP, vice-president of the BJP state unit, JPS Rathore, said, "For the upcoming general elections to Lok Sabha in 2019, we are preparing cyber sena across the state, and at every polling booth, there has to a cyber yodhaa (cyber warrior)."

"The internet and social media has become an effective and efficient tool to take various welfare measures to the masses. They have also evolved as a viable medium to communicate the party's thoughts to the masses. The party is mulling to prepare an army of 1.5 lakh to 2 lakh trained workers across the state," Rathore said.

Rathore hopes that the team would be battle ready within three months and with the parliamentary elections just around the corner, social media can play an important role in spreading awareness among people who are 18-year-old or more to enroll themselves as voters. These trained workers will be used to link new voters with the party and also make efforts to wipe off the fake voters from the list.

Head of IT cell of UP BJP Sanjay Rai said, "Cyber warriors have to approach every citizen with a new strategy while ensuring that information pertaining to various schemes, policies and achievements of the Centre reach the voters. Efforts should be made to reach to various educational institutes and link students supporting the BJP through NaMo app."
