Kolkata: Three IIM-Calcutta graduates are applying their management ability to build up the BJP

These three IIM-Calcutta graduates are involved in assisting the party leadership in wooing voters, especially the youth to make them aware to vote right candidate.

Ankur Gattani, a 2008 graduate who runs his own business in Mumbai, said 'what more, none is ruling out an active involvement in politics in future. 'If not a full-time career, I may end up in politics in the future'.

'Though I am open to joining politics at a later stage, as of now I am happy to pursue my business,' Ankur said.

Gattani, looking after the party's IT cell in Maharashtra, said, 'I will have enough in my kitty before I take a plunge into active politics. Moreover, even if parties donâ€™t pay a salary, they take care of a lot of your necessities.'

Harsh Vardhan Chhaparia a member of L K Advani's communication team at 26 Tughlaq Road. 'I research for him, prepare press releases and help in updating the party's website,' Harsh says. The party has found him a bungalow, which he shares with BJP national secretary Sudhendra Kulkarni.

'If BJP leaders have been misquoted, we try and set the record straight,' Singal says. He believes that in future he might take a sabbatical and contests the polls as an Independent, much like Meera Sanyal, ex-ABN AMRO Bank CEO who is contesting from the Mumbai South seat.

These young B-school grads feel that the lack of financial stability is the root of politicians turning corrupt.

The IIM-C tag helps these grads to gain easier access to eminent political leaders.
