BJP Connect App Allows To Chat, Create Surveys And Interact Through Polls, Tasks And Opinions
In a first for a political party in India, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is planning to pilot a chat-based collaboration app targeted at winning the next elections. The app, called BJP Connect, will be initially rolled out to volunteers working for the party in the state elections in Karnataka to be held before May 2018.
As per a Factor Daily report, if the pilot is successful, the party has ambitions to take the app national before the 2019 general elections. The app is currently on the Google Play Store and has the features of a collaboration tool. Its description says it allows chat with members of the organisation; create quick and easy surveys; and interact through polls, tasks and opinions. These chat groups will support organisational hierarchy to help admins conduct polls, provide tasks, take opinions, capture public pulse and broadcast live videos.
