The Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday launched a membership drive in Jammu and Kashmir, stating that the party “exemplifies true democracy” in the political sphere of the nation.

BJP’s J&K unit president Sat Paul Sharma launched the membership drive and the party believes and practises the true spirit of the temple of democracy both internally and in the nation as a whole. Taking a dig at the Opposition parties, Sharma said other parties are often dominated by nepotism where the entire organisation is controlled by a single family.

Sharma was accompanied by former BJP chief Ravinder Raina, former Deputy Chief Minister Kavinder Gupta and former MP Shamsher Singh Manhas. He said the nationwide primary membership drive was delayed in the Union Territory due to the recently concluded Assembly elections.

The membership drive at the national level was initiated with PM Narendra Modi. “Now, BJP has become the world’s largest political party, surpassing China’s Communist Party, which had 10 crore members,” Sharma said.

Our target now is to reach the common masses, political workers, supporters, and sympathisers, enabling us to connect more effectively with people’s issues, he said.

In 2014, BJP achieved a target of more than 6 lakh members. In 2019, it was 16.67 lakh, making history in J&K by securing maximum votes in Assembly elections.
