As against the target of enrolling 10 crore members in the Country, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has so far registered 9.20 crore members, according to Party leaders.
Briefing mediapersons on the party national office-bearers’ meeting in Bengaluru on Thursday, BJP State General Secretary C.T. Ravi said the actual enrolment would surpass the one-crore mark if the party’s norm of allowing four members from each family to become its members through one missed call to the party.
Similarly, in Karnataka, the membership stood around 81 lakh when considered such missed call norms as against the target of enrolling one crore members, he said.
After the ongoing membership drive ends in April, the Party would launch a three-month mass contact programme under which it would contact all the new members to give them introduction about the party’s ideology through distribution of literature in this regard, he said.
After this, another three-month orientation programme would be taken up for the new members, he explained.
He said at the Office-bearers’ meeting, Party National President Amit Shah had said that the main intention of the party’s membership drive was not to just enrol massive number of members, but to create a cadre committed to ideology.
