A press conference was also held to highlight the campaign’s objectives and significance.
During the meeting, Nagra issued directions for the November 1 programme at Ramlila Maidan and called on party leaders and workers to strengthen the ‘Vote Bachao, Desh Bachao’ campaign at the block, mandal and panchayat levels.
