“Today, citizens want effective delivery of services, improved governance and transparency in the functioning of big, complex and constantly changing cities. To ensure better government-citizen connect and community collaboration BJP is working towards building a ‘Digital India’ where innovation, research and technology will play a major role,” he said.
Dr. Gupta said the power of real time analytics can bring the required transformation in handling a range of urban issues from smart utilities and traffic management.
BJP already has started a social media campaign which lets volunteers and citizens collaborate and contribute. This platform was also leveraged in this election for aggregating the top news and political content across the web every day.
