MLA Jasrota Rajiv Jasrotia who also became active member today outlined the phases of the campaign and reaffirmed to achieve the target of membership drive. He highlighted that PM Narendra Modi has always prioritized the needs of the organization, ensuring his presence and support even during his busiest days. His commitment and dedication have been instrumental in the continuous development and growth of the party.

However, the BJP is the only party that operates in strict accordance with the values embedded in our constitution. Even after reaching 18 crore members, each party member must renew their membership every six years as mandated by Article 9 of the constitution. With the current membership drive underway, members will once again renew their association with the party, and we anticipate surpassing the 10 crore membership mark.

The BJP functions democratically, declaring that after the first and second phases of the membership drive, there will be an active membership phase. Following this, elections will be conducted at the Mandal, district, state, and central levels. This approach ensures transparency, which is why, upon reaching 10 crore members, the party announced the dates for the electoral process at each booth.
