New Delhi, March 3
In the race for power, the BJP appears to have left its rivals far behind at least in using technology in a big way for campaigning.

The BJP today flooded the cellphones across the country with the message and appeal of Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee using the voice mail mode springing a surprise on many cellphone subscribers.

The voice mail has been made in such a way that the moment the receiver opens the mail, he or she has a feeling as if Mr Vajpayee has made a direct phone call to him/her.

The Prime Minister begins saying, “Mein Atal Bihari Vajpayee bol raha hun. Aap ko aur aap ke parivar ko meri subh kamnayen.”

In the one-minute message-cum-appeal, the Prime Minister begins his interaction by thanking the receiver for giving him an opportunity to serve the country for five years.

Mr Vajpayee then highlights the good work done by his government and seeks a fresh mandate for accomplishing remaining tasks like eradication of poverty, reduction of unemployment, education and health cover for all and make the country a superpower.
