In addition to "chai pe charcha" meetings, OFBJP has created two separate team of volunteers, one for social media activity and the other to make phone calls to people in India.

In coordination with the BJP headquarters in New Delhi and also state units, Patel said every day OFBJP volunteers are making thousands of phone calls to potential voters requesting them to exercise their right to franchise in favour of BJP.

"Our feedback is that these phone calls are having a tremendous impact on Indian voters," Patel said.

Taking advantage of the presence of Indian Americans in the IT sector, Patel said OFBJP U.S. is garnering a team for volunteers on the social media platform.

"These are cyber warriors who counter the negative campaign that rival parties are making against BJP and Modi," he said, but refrained from giving the number of volunteers who have signed up for its campaigns.

In addition, a small group of OFBJP volunteers and local community leaders are spending money from their own pockets to travel to India to campaign in person for the Lok Sabha polls.

Patel is himself travelling to his home state of Chhattisgarh. It is estimated that several hundred Modi supporters are travelling to India this time.

OFBJP-USA also has launched a fund-raising campaign, the money from which, Patel said, would be used to give advertisements in local print as well electronic media.
