Gujarat elections: Is BJP importing campaign material from China?
by Guest Tue Oct 31, 2017 12:59 pm
Taking a dig at the BJP's failure on the job front, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi had said that "every time you click a selfie, jobs are created in China". It now appears that even the BJP's election campaign in Gujarat is boosting business in China.
So it may well be that each time a BJP worker sticks an election poster in Gujarat, a job is probably being created in China.
Sharpline Printing, a company based in Ahmedabad's Ellisbridge area, is one of the BJP's major suppliers of campaign material like stickers, caps, fliers, balloons, key-chains and other party merchandise.
Customs receipts accessed by Catch show that Sharpline Printing got huge consignments of such material from China in September this year. The items in the consignments include balloons, stickers, hairbands, keychains and plastic spectacles. The receipts add up to around Rs 94 lakh.
The firm supplying the material - Yiwu Jiurun Import and Export - is based in Yiwu city in China's Zhejiang province, located on the country's south-eastern coast. Yiwu. The city is famous for its small commodity trade. A company listing website states that Yiwu Jirun Import and Export is known for exporting to India. The consignments arrived in India at the Nhava Sheva port in Maharashtra's Raigad district.
It is believed that some of this material was meant for the BJP's campaign in Gujarat, especially as the items given in the receipts are among the items Sharpline Printing supplies to the BJP.
