Prime Minister Modi on September 2 launched the BJP’s 2024 membership drive, ‘Sanghatan Parva, Sadasyata Abhiyan 2024,’ by renewing his membership and encouraging party workers to connect with the youth.
The first day of the membership drive saw 47 lakh members registered, and in the first phase, from September 2 to 25, 6 crore members were enrolled.
According to party sources, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh registered more than 1 crore members each, while Gujarat and Assam enrolled 85 lakh and 50 lakh members, respectively.
The second phase of the ‘Sadasyata Abhiyan,’ scheduled from October 1-15, will prioritize Parliamentary Constituencies, Assembly Constituencies, Zilas, and Mandals that are lagging in membership enrollment. The focus will be on ensuring ‘Sadasyata enrollment’ in every Shakti Kendra and Booth through detailed outreach efforts.
