BJP will hold membership drive on Nov 23, 24: Badoli

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will hold a massive campaign on November 23 and 24 to increase party membership. The party has already been holding a membership drive with an aim to add 50 lakh members within Haryana alone.

BJP state chief Pandit Mohan Lal Badoli, who was in Panchkula on Thursday, held a party meeting regarding the membership campaign and said the party would run a campaign on November 23 and 24 in the state with an aim to add 20 lakh people to the party within two days. He said, “Each worker will add 10 families to the party. In this way, we will achieve the target of adding 50 lakh people to the party.”

He said the party had already formed a team, including Shankar Dhupar and Pratibha Suman, along with three others, for the membership campaign. He said the party was adding more members with each passing day, which would help it win the upcoming municipal elections as well.

He said the party would act against party workers who sabotaged and damaged the party’s prospects in the recent Assembly elections on purpose. He said, “Many leaders had jumped ship during the election campaigns to fulfill their desires of contesting. Many had joined the BJP as well. We will initiate action against those workers who damaged the party while being a part of it.”

While talking about the Congress party, he said it had been working to weaken democracy. “Congress is still spreading rumours by misleading the public. He said the Congress party had won 37 seats in the Assembly elections but had not even expressed gratitude to the voters.”

He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants to ensure that by 2025, every person has a roof over his head. “The BJP government is working to provide houses and plots to poor people. We are also regularising all colonies that come under the purview of the law,” he added.

Badoli also spoke on the matter of the formation of a new assembly for Haryana and said Punjab should play the role of an elder brother and respect the sentiments of the people. “There are no proper arrangements for MLAs in the current assembly. So Haryana will construct its own assembly separately. We should try to find a solution to the problem through dialogue,” he said.

Party’s state vice president Banto Kataria, membership campaign state co-convenor Varun Sheoran, former Assembly speaker Gian Chand Gupta, Kalka MLA Shakti Rani Sharma, Panchkula Mayor Kulbhushan Goyal, Kalka Municipal Council Chairman Krishna Lamba, and others were present with Badoli during the programme.
