The senior leader also stated that the letter will be distributed by two workers per booth.

"As this is a time when social distancing is the mantra to prevent Covid-19 we have decided that only two workers per booth will distribute the letter," said Yadav.

"Every district will witness one virtual rally where issues like self-reliance, Covid-19 status and measures to fight it, social awareness will be discussed," the senior BJP leader added.

On questions of the mode of campaigning in poll-bound states like Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, Yadav said the party will evolve with time and will use technology.

"During 1950-70 we saw the role of pamphlets and posters in campaigning which changed to the radio till the 90s. During the 90s we saw a revolution in campaigning brought by the TV. Today we saw how WhatsApp and Facebook were used. We will use a new technique in elections," added Yadav.
