Sep 24, 2024
Agartala (Tripura) [India], September 24 : The Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) membership drive, which commenced on September 3, has seen an overwhelming response across Tripura, as in just a few weeks, nearly 4,00,000 people joined the party.
From Dharmanagar to Sabroom, the campaign has sparked enthusiastic participation among the people of the state.
Chief Minister Manik Saha is himself engaging with the public to bolster the initiative. On Sunday, he visited various wards in the Bardowali constituency, encouraging citizens to join the BJP by visiting their homes personally.
This initiative by the Chief Minister, aimed at strengthening the party's organisational base while managing governance, has greatly inspired party workers at all levels.
Speaking to ANI, CM Saha said that they are aiming to enrol around 1.2 million members in Tripura, with 500 new members at each booth. He also exuded confidence of meeting the target.
"On September 2, Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself launched the membership drive, and the following day I began the membership campaign in Tripura. Previously, approximately 650,000 people accepted membership in the BJP, and this time the target has been increased in Tripura and at the central level," CM Saha said.
"This year, we aim to enrol about 1.2 million members in Tripura. We are working at various levels in different mandals, and our target is to ensure a minimum of 500 new members at each booth. I am personally visiting various locations to facilitate the membership process, which is also available online until September 25. Given the enthusiasm for membership, I firmly believe we will meet our target," he added.
The Chief Minister further urged the people of the state to join the membership drive.
"The public knows that only the BJP government can lead the country forward, and that's why everyone is enthusiastically joining as members out of love for the Prime Minister. I urge the people of Tripura who have not yet become members to do so, as membership can now be easily acquired through a missed call. I encourage everyone to join the membership drive," he said.
