He added, "It will provide us with a clear picture of the fluctuations of our shares of votes. A report from every booth committee will go to the party headquarters under this study. The study will also cover the benefits of various schemes to people from every booth committee. The study will look into the demography of every booth, besides each booth committee setting its connection to every voter."
