New Delhi, Aug 29 : The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), student wing of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), on Wednesday said it had formulated a comprehensive startegy to use "nationalism" plank to attract young and first-time voters towards the BJP ahead of the 2019 elections.

As part of its strategy, the ABVP will hold awareness programmes in universities and colleges across the country on the issues of urban Maoist sympathisers, negative politics and national security, ABVP Joint Organising Secretary Srinivas told reporters here.

"Urban Maoism is a threat to the nation. NOTA is also a part of negative politics. We want to end this negativity and produce natural leaders," he said while justifying the Tuesday raids and arrest of five rights activists.

"They are a threat to national security," he alleged, adding that such activists are spread everywhere including on university and college campuses.

He said the the organisation will use social media platforms to awaken the young minds.

Srinivas said that National Register for Citizenship (NRC) will also be taken up during the interactions with the students.

"We are working to increase girls' participation in politics. Around 10,000 girls will participate in such programme in Delhi in October," he said.

Srinivas said that the ABVP will not hesitate to protest against the Modi government if it takes any decision against the interest of the students.

"We are holding countrywide rallies on Thursday to demand timely disbursal of scholarship funds in central universities and also for three-fold hike in pre- and post-matric scholarships for students," he said.

Meanwhile netizens quickly responded to the sudden similar bookings by many users.

One ‘X’ user tweeted, “Booked a Bharat Gas LPG cylinder at 11:45 AM today and it was delivered at my doorstep by 1:30 PM. Without any extra cash or charges. I asked the delivery guy if there was any shortage. His reply was negative. This copy is circulating 👇.”

Another user questioned the timing, asking, “How can all book at the same time?” while a separate post wondered, “Why is everyone booking LPG at 11:45 AM?”

Many netizens joked about the posts. One wrote, “Everyone is booking LPG gas cylinders at 11:45 AM, and surprisingly it’s getting delivered in two hours. IT cell has some special gas agency. Is it LPG or Naale ka Gas?” 

One urged, “Please tell these hundreds of people to book at 11:45 AM too,” sharing a photo of people standing in ques.

“Booked an Indane Gas LPG cylinder at 11:46 AM today and it wasnt delivered at my doorstep by 2:30 PM. I asked the delivery guy, why didn't he deliver. He replied cylinders were delivered only to people who booked exactly at 11:45 AM,” wrote another. 

 

One user asked, “What was the auspicious occasion to book at 11:45 AM?” while another tweeted, “I am going to book a gas cylinder at 11:45 AM tomorrow, hope Modi Ji will deliver it by 1:30.”

“I want to ask one thing… If I book an LPG cylinder tomorrow at 11:45 AM and the gas agency is unable to deliver it by 1:30 PM, will it be free like Domino’s pizza, or will I get it at some discounted price? BJP IT Cell experts, please confirm so that I can book my LPG cylinder tomorrow exactly at 11:45 AM,” said another humorously.
