The BJP is working on three-level game plan for upcoming year-end Assembly election in State. The party, apart from strengthening its organization at grass root level by enrolling 30 lakh new members, highlighting the work and achievements at Centre and State through padayatra, is also working on game plan for switchover of party leaders from Opposition camp to its fold.
The State BJP to build up the organisation has assigned the task of making 50,000 new members to its all 43 MLAs in the State. The constituency where there is no BJP MLAs, the task has been given to respective BJP district presidents.
BJP MLA from Chhatarpur, Radha Krishan Kishore said, “In the membership drive the lawmakers have been assigned the task to enroll new members from all communities. Special emphasis has been given to make members from SCs/STs, minorities, youths, farmers and other section of societies.” The BJP membership drive, which commenced on July 6, will run till 30 and during 25 days the State BJP has set a target to make 30 lakh new members. To oversee membership drive in State, BJP working president JP Nadda is likely to visit Ranchi on July 13 and 14. During his visit to State Capital, the BJP working president Nadda is likely to participate at membership drive and also hold strategies for year-end Assembly election.
Apart from giving much attention on membership drive, the BJP MPs from State on the directions of Prime Minister Narendra Modi will carry out a padayatra from October 2 to 31, the birth anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Vallabhbhai Patel respectively.
Ranchi MP Sanjay Seth said, “During the padayatra, we have to highlight on Swachhta and Beti Bachao Beti Padhao apart from highlighting the schemes of Centre and State Government among people mainly people from rural areas.”
A senior BJP leader requesting anonymity said, “Though both the programmes have been designed by Central BJP leadership for entire country, the two events is largely going to help BJP units in States which are going to poll this year or by early next year.” Jharkhand along with Maharashtra and Haryana is going to poll by end of this year.
