Telangana: BJP membership drive reaches 40-lakh mark
New Indian ExpressHYDERABAD: In a major boost to its efforts to strengthen its base in Telangana, the state unit of BJP has achieved the membership drive target set by the saffron party’s high command. Speaking to TNIE, BJP state secretary and co-in-charge of membership drive Kolli Madhavi said: “The party’s membership has reached almost 40-lakh mark. Of this, 33 membership forms have been submitted online and over five lakh members are being enrolled by processing the ‘missed calls’ data.” The party high command has placed a special focus on membership drive in Telangana. The party, which managed to enrol just 11 lakh members in its membership drive, achieved its target this time mainly due to the boost it received after its more than satisfactory show in the recent Lok Sabha elections leading to both the cadre as well as second rung leaders working tirelessly in the drive.
