BJP inducts over 35,000 members,aims to add 1 lakh more by Nov 30

Prayagraj: Gearing up for the 2022 assembly polls in the state, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leadership has inducted over 35,000 new members in the Sangam City under its ongoing membership drive. The party’s Mahanagar unit aims to induct one lakh more members in the city by November 30.
The membership drive was launched by the party on October 29.
BJP’s Mahanagar spokesperson Rajesh Kesarwani told TOI, “Over 35,000 new members have been inducted into the party between October 29 and November 21. We have set a target of inducting one lakh more members by November 30.”
Since it is a door-to-door membership drive, our leaders and party workers are knocking on the doors of city residents to induct new members, Kesarwani added.
Senior BJP leader and state co-convener (media) Ashish Gupta said, “The party has launched a special membership drive in the state and set the target of adding at least 1.5 crore new members to our existing 2.5 crore party workers.”
This special membership drive was planned in the state to strengthen the party, particularly by including youngsters from all sections of the society, Gupta added.
“We are getting a good response and people of all age groups are eager to join BJP and the number of our new members is increasing with every passing day. Special camps are being organised across the district to induct new members, including people from slums. Not just men, many women have also taken membership of the party,” he said.
A senior party leader said the last membership drive was held in 2020 after which we had 2.5 crore members in UP. While holding meetings with district presidents, Mandal presidents and Panna pramukhs of Kashi region recently, the state party leadership had set the target of adding another 1.5 crore members.
Senior party leaders are hoping to cross the mark of four crore members before the 2022 state assembly elections. Party leaders said a door-to-door campaign is underway to reach out to masses with an appeal to join BJP. Currently, BJP leaders from various morchas, cells, and frontal units are holding membership camps, reaching out to the people, and asking them to give a missed call on a particular number from their phones to become BJP members.
