BJP’s ‘Saugat-e-Modi’ campaign mocked on social media for Eid outreach
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Minority Morcha’s recently launched Saugat-e-Modi campaign, aimed at distributing special Eid kits to 32 lakh underprivileged Muslim families across the country, has sparked reactions online, with many mocking the initiative as an attempt at political appeasement.
The campaign, launched in Delhi’s Nizamuddin area under the guidance of BJP National President JP Nadda, aims to distribute food and clothing kits through 32,000 Minority Morcha workers in collaboration with 32,000 mosques. The initiative has been positioned as an outreach effort ahead of Eid, Good Friday, Easter, Nauruz, and other festivals, with Eid Milan celebrations also planned at the district level.
While BJP leaders, including Minority Morcha National President Jamal Siddiqui, have described the initiative as a way to promote welfare schemes among the Muslim community, social media users have taken a different view. The campaign has been met with ridicule online, with many questioning BJP’s stance on minority appeasement.
A widely shared post read, "Moye Moye for BJP IT Cell 😂😂" mocking the party’s digital outreach. Others sarcastically questioned how BJP supporters would justify the campaign. One user asked, "How will Mr Sinha, Bagree, BALA defend this appeasement politics?"—naming online figures often associated with pro-BJP narratives.
Another post highlighted the contrast between BJP’s usual rhetoric and the new initiative, stating, "BJP launches ‘Saugat-e-Modi’ campaign in Bihar to reach out to Muslims. 32 lakh Muslims will get an Eid Bonanza as part of this drive!" Some users pointed out the irony, accusing the party of adopting vote-bank politics while previously criticizing other parties for similar strategies.

The woman alleged that once she complied, the accused began making obscene advances and tried to force himself on her. When she screamed, he allegedly gagged her, abused her and threatened to kill her before pushing her out of the room.
She said her complaints within the hospital went unheard, forcing her to approach the police.
Taking cognisance of the complaint, the hospital administration constituted a three-member inquiry committee, officials said.
Senior consultant (paediatrics) Dr Jay Kumar said, "The woman has levelled serious allegations against a staff member. Senior officials have been informed, and a departmental inquiry is underway. Strict action will be taken if the charges are proved."
Kotwali Station House Officer Chatrapal Singh said a case has been registered, and efforts are on to nab the accused.
