BJP to launch membership drive on September 1, aims to recruit 10 million new members – Telangana Today

According to sources, the saffron party is expected to elect a new president after recruiting members

New Delhi: The BJP will launch a new membership drive on September 1. According to senior BJP politicians, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will kick off the campaign by renewing his own membership.

The party is aiming to attract more than 100 million members during this campaign and is aiming to exceed this target by a wide margin. The decision was taken at a meeting of the office-bearers in the national capital on Friday evening.

BJP leader JP Nadda and Union Home Minister Amit Shah were present at the meeting. The party leaders discussed how the membership drive would proceed. BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra said that the campaign would not cover the states where elections are being held.

“Consequently, if you include larger states like Maharashtra in the total number of members, we expect the final number to be significantly higher,” he said. Patra said the party will induct new members in four ways: through a missed call to a specific number, by scanning a QR code, by using the NaMo app and by visiting the official BJP website.

Apart from digital methods, the party will also offer membership to individuals in remote areas through traditional means, i.e. by filling a paper form. The BJP claims to have over 180 million members, making it the largest political party in the world. According to sources, the party is expected to elect a new president after the campaign.
