IIT -Delhi Modi fans launch unofficial campaign

BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi
has found an ardent support-base in the
corridors of the hub of India's techie geniuses,
IIT Delhi.
A group of around 200 students of the premier
institute have come together to campaign for
the Gujarat Chief Minister as the general
elections draw near.
"It was around six months ago that five fellow
students and I discussed channelling the strong
support wave for Modi prevalent in the
institute.
That's when the idea to form a student group
to campaign for Modi struck. We also formed
a Facebook group for students like us," said a
core group member requesting anonymity.
The group, which calls itself 'IITians support
MODI', says while they support the man
himself, it does not necessarily translate into
support for his party, the BJP. The Facebook
group boasts of 381 members, and includes
IITians from Kharagpur as well.
Being IIT students, members feel, gives them
an edge when they try to convince people to
vote for Modi.
"We are independent of the BJP and have no
alliance with them. We introduce ourselves as
IIT students and not BJP supporters because
then we will not be considered neutral," said
Sahil Aggarwal, a final year Mechanical
Engineering student, whose mobile ringtone is
a song in Modi's praise.
The group holds weekly meetings to decide
their plan of action. As of now the group is
focusing on its campaign on social media, for
which each member has to devote at least 3- 4
hours daily.
The work involves updating the status message,
story links and replying to comments on
various online groups.
