Ms. Purandeswari said the BJP activists and leaders were helping in the relief operations in flood-hit areas in Vijayawada and Guntur. Around 50,000 meals were arranged by the BJP workers for the flood victims, the Rajamahendravaram MP said.
Launching the membership drive, she said that move aimed to enrol the interested activists into the party and bridge the gap between the party and the people as well. The drive focuses on taking forward the development activities, welfare schemes and programmes launched by the BJP to the grassroots level, she said.
