Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Madhya Pradesh organisational general secretary Arvind Menon said on Monday that the mega membership drive was the festival of democracy in which no one could be stopped from participation.
Menon, while addressing the Jabalpur divisional office bearers and workers in Jabalpur, said, “By dialing toll free membership number one would get membership number, but it would get certified only after when it gets verified.” Menon made touching appeal to make polling booths as the axis of the mega membership drive and to bring in a minimum of 40 per cent voters of every polling booth in party fold.
He said that on December 24 symposiums would be held in every district, city and town over good governance in which senior party leaders would be the main speakers. Intellectuals would be invited in the symposiums to express the public expectations, he added. He said that on December 25, the birthday of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee before starting the mega membership drive Swachh Abhiyan would be organized all over the state. The party has set a target of minimum ten thousand members from every assembly constituency of the state. The mega membership drive would be carried out at booth level under supervision of three members each. The party has provided services of a Vistarak at every Mandal who would provide momentum to the mega membership drive, he added.
The senior BJP leader said that after achieving target of 2.25 crore members in the state on March 31, 2015, process of verifying the members would start that would continue for next two months. After verification of the member office bearers of the Mandal would reach new members place and would welcome them in the party and would formally provide them membership of the BJP, he added.
