The BJP leaders and party functionaries of ten southern districts of the State met here on Thursday last to take stock of the progress of the membership drive in the southern region. Inaugurating the meeting, Odisha Prabhari Arun Singh said the party has to learn much from the recent Delhi election and criticized the BJD Government for failure in all fronts. Corruption and un-employment during the BJD regime have increased manifolds, he said.
Singh said that the party aims to enrol 30 lakh members in Odisha and so far already 13 lakh have been enrolled in the State. He urged the party functionaries to be united at the grassroots. The members discussed threadbare on the progress made in the membership drive and several organisational issues in the southern districts. District BJP president BK Swain presided.
