BJP not only biggest political party but also most credible: Rajnath Singh

New Delhi [India], September 2 : Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has said that BJP is not only the world's biggest political party but also the party with most credibility.
Addressing party members at the launch of the BJP's membership drive, he said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the "crisis of credibility" in politics as a challenge and has always laid thrust on fulfilling what the party has promised.
"Nobody can deny the truth that due to the differences between the words and deeds of politicians, people's trust in India's politics and politicians has decreased. The crisis of credibility that arose due to it was accepted as a challenge by PM Narendra Modi. PM Modi has always urged that the manifesto should be carefully prepared; it should not be that we are unable to fulfil what we are saying. There should not be any difference between our words and deeds," Rajnath Singh said.
He said when Narendra Modi was the party's PM candidate and he had laid emphasis on party promising what it can deliver.
"We should be proud that we are not just the members of the biggest political party in the world, but the party which is most credible," he added.
In his remarks, PM Modi said that Bharatiya Janata Party's membership drive isn't just a ritual but an expansion of the family and also an ideological movement.
PM Modi, who launched the BJP's 2024 membership drive by renewing his membership, said that the membership drive and the organisational structure that will be established during this period will coincide with the implementation of 33 percent reservation in Legislative Assemblies and Parliament.
"If this 33 percent reservation for women is to be introduced during this time, then in my membership drive, can we include all those individuals who can help my party ensure that the maximum number of women are elected as MLAs and MPs, thus making this crucial decision a success?" he asked.
"This very membership drive isn't just a ritual. It's an expansion of our family... It isn't a game of numbers. It doesn't matter what numbers we achieve. This membership drive is an ideological and emotional movement," he added.
PM Modi received his BJP membership renewal certificate from party president JP Nadda at the 'Sanghatan Parva, Sadasyata Abhiyan 2024' here.
The Prime Minister said from the days of Bharatiya Jana Sangh till now, "we have made all possible efforts to bring a new political culture in the country."
The membership drive will be conducted in two phases--September 2 to September 25 and October 1 to October 15. Each phase will target specific milestones, ensuring a comprehensive reach across the country.
