Pay upto R 25 lakh to have dinner with BJP's PM candidate Narendra Modi

Pay upto R 25 lakh to have dinner with BJP's PM candidate Narendra Modi 


New Delhi: Bjp's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi will be attending a fund raiser dinner in the Asoka Hotel of Delhi on March 26. You can grab this very moment if you have enough cash to spend on a dinner.
 
The amount you pay will decide your seating arrangement at the venue.
 
The money collected from the fund raiser will be deposited to Modi for PM fund which was launched by Bharatiya Janta Party in January this year.
 
Everyone who will participate in the dinner will get a chance to be the part of  a lucky draw. Also, the winners of the lucky draw will get a chance to have dinner with the man who can be the next Prime Minister of the country.
 
The trend started by Arvind Kejriwal led Aam Aadmi Party is now followed by other political parties as well in order to raise money.
 
The dinner held by Aap at Nagpur on Thursday collected nearly Rs. 14 lakh from its more than 100 participants. The event proved to be successful. The next fund raiser dinner will be held in Bangalore by the party. The party is expecting to collect up to Rs. 200 crore for the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections.
 
A plate with Kejriwal costs Rs. 10-20000.
 
The Association of Democracy Reforms co-founder Jagdeep Chokhar said there was no problem with American-style techniques as long as 'the money is raised legitimately and it is explained who is paying how much'.
 
To have dinner with Modi, can break bread with the leader if you manage to pay Rs. 25 lakh. Ones payingRs. 2.5 lakh and up to Rs. 1 lakh will be accommodated at front row and back row respectively.
 
It is notable that there is a separate category for the corporate sponsors who will pay between Rs. 60 lakh to Rs. 2.5 crore to have dinner with Narendra Modi.

BJP denies Narendra Modi holding fund-raising dinner

New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday denied that it has organised a fund-raising dinner for Narendra Modi in the national capital. 

“This information is baseless. We have never conceived any such programme,” senior BJP leader Prakash Javadekar said. 

“Our programme is 'tea with Modi' and not 'dinner with Modi with a price tag',” Javadekar added.
Earlier, media reports had claimed that Modi will attend a fund-raising dinner on March 26 at the Ashoka Hotel here. 

The price tag for attending the alleged dinner was between Rs 1 lakh to Rs 2.4 crore – the price would vary depending on the sitting arrangement, the reports had claimed. 

For example, a seat on the back-row would have cost Rs 1 lakh; one would have had to shell out Rs 2.5 lakh for a front-row seat; and those willing to pay Rs 25 lakh would have got the opportunity to sit with Modi on a round-table. For corporate sponsors, the price tag was between Rs 60 lakh and Rs 2.4 crore. 

It may be noted that Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal has been organising such dinners, but with a much lower price tag. 

Such fund-raising dinners are a part of the American political culture.
