BJP’s Star Agenda:

In Lok Sabha election 2014, Narendra Modi succeeds by using social media very well for his campaigning and creating the environment in BJP’s favor. But now BJP is realizing that the popularity of Modi is decreasing because of issues like Note Banned, Goods and Service Tax (GST), hike in fuel prices etc. So, this may be the part of BJP’s ‘new strategy’ and trying to grab people’s votes by using the faces which are already popular.

BJP is taking the benefit of stardom and popularity of these players by this. BJP may use their faces in the entire nation for the election campaign, as both are they represent the country, not only their state.

In addition to this, MS Dhoni is also a captain of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) of Indian Premier League (IPL), thus he has the huge number of followers from south India.
