New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal seldom disappoints his followers and the electronic media, hungry for TRP masala. After parodies, dharnas, road shows and street plays, Kejri is all set to make his debut on Radio. Yes, you heard it right!
And this time he is featuring not just in ad spots or calls for donations, but will also interact with the public in a live chat from next week. Â
The Aam Aadmi Party chief’s version of “mann ki baat” (talk from the heart) – made popular by Prime Minister Narendra Modi – begins on December 3. Kejriwal’s radio segment will play on the private FM channels.Â
Speaking exclusively with NewsMobile, “It’s good that Kerjiwal is trying to connect with the audience directly. We are looking forward to support him thorough our channel. Ever since the news is out in public, I have been getting too many calls seeking a chance to interact with the AAP chief, said one of the nation’s favourite, R J Naved.
He added that he had already compiled a number of questions to be put forward to Kejriwal and would like to facilitate a program in which more and more people could get a chance to interact with the AAP chief.
AAP had made effective use of radio in its campaign when it debuted in the Delhi elections last year, airing messages from Kejriwal. Since then, BJP has discovered radio too.Â
Fresh elections in Delhi are yet to be announced, but the airwaves have already turned into a political battlefield. Kejriwal’s recorded messages have been playing again on city FM channels, countered this time by BJP’s campaign. The ruling party has not only been airing messages from its Delhi unit leaders, but also its star campaigner, Modi, exhorting people to join his ‘Swachch Bharat’ campaign or talking about his government’s other achievements.
BJP has declared that its Delhi campaign will not announce a presumptive Chief Minister. Instead, the PM will ask the city to support him. The strategy was a success in recent state elections in Maharashtra and Haryana.
