The party asserts that this approach will offer a unique avenue for collective policymaking and lay the foundation for participatory governance, ultimately democratizing decision-making and placing it in the hands of the Indian populace.
As part of the campaign, suggestion boxes will be placed at BJP offices in each mandal, where citizens can deposit their recommendations on policies and agendas crucial for national progress and inclusive development.
Additionally, suggestions are invited from NGOs, self-help groups, various unions and associations, cooperatives, and the general public.
