I campaigned in Okhla in early 90s.
When we went with BJP flags in Abdul Fazal enclave,Shaheen Bagh some local Hindu families would approach us.They said our campaigning in these areas gave them confidence.
Some times for minority Hindus just a sight of BJP flag is reassuring.
Campaigning in #Hindu minority areas gave me true reasons for #BJP
We don’t realise how important it is to have BJP in #Srinagar or #Okhla or #Hyderabad
For many minority Hindus BJP is the only lifeline. Some households in #Hyderabad must be feeling really secure after decades
There were some minority Hindu houses in Okhla who weren’t allowed to repair their houses. They couldn’t bring bricks.
These Hindus continue to live in fearful circumstances. Therefore It becomes duty of BJP to reach these interiors.

I am very happy with Hyderabad results.
We started sitting in a tea stall in Okhla during elections. This tea stall owner would decorate his stall with BJP flags. He felt so happy. In middle of loneliness he thought we were his only saviours. We would spend our mornings. We started with few votes to now good numbers.
Now Okhla has minority leaders too. They are also die hard BJP supporters. Voting percentage is better than ever. Process was very slow. #Hyderabad campaign has done what we couldn’t do in 50 years in #Okhla
I remember once we were in middle of a mob attack too. Bricks were thrown and we were chased. Police wouldn’t help us ever. One of us had a severe head injury in #Okhla. When we loose workers in #WestBengal I can relate to what happened in capital of India once upon a time.
