CR Patil explains the mathematics behind his aggressive page committee drive

Surat: Gujarat BJP chief CR Patil today while addressing the lawyers who enrolled as members of page committee of Surat BJP, explained how page committees can become key to elect BJP candidates in elections. Patil said there are 30 voters on one side of the page of voters list. If there’s 70 percent voting, 21 out of 30 votes would be cast. 5 page committee members would ensure 3 votes each from their own house. Thus the party would get 15 votes. Suppose rest of the six votes are gained by Congress. Even then, BJP lead would be by 9 votes per page. If there are 1,000 votes in each booth and there are 30-32 pages in each voters book, the party would achieve lead of 270 votes in booth. The assembly segment has suppose 300 booths, then 270 multiply by 300 would give 80,000 lead in the assembly election.

Patil said a party workers came to him with a page committee he had formed and said that he had included prestigious people from his page list to page committee. Patil said he liked the idea and suggested cadres to include doctors, lawyers and such professional who have great influence to page committee wherever such people are agree to become page committee member and also can spare time for the party.
