“The way in which people are joining the BJP under the campaign for the expansion of the party, I am confident that Delhi will be at the top in regard to connecting a record number of people with the party,” BJP Delhi in-charge Shyam Jaju said.
“After being influenced by the bold decision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to abrogate Article 370, not only the people of Delhi, but also from the entire country are joining as primary members. Everybody wants to join the largest political party which is inspired by nationalistic thinking,” he said further.
The “BJP family”, its State unit chief Manoj Tiwari said, was expanding both by virtue of its organisational capacity and Mr. Modi’s leadership.

“I welcome all the senior advocates and retired officers who have joined the party in such large numbers. The people of Delhi are influenced by the views of the Prime Minister on scarcity of water, population explosion and banning the use of polythene,” he said.
