PM Modi Renews Bharatiya Janata Party Membership, Urges Citizens To Join Membership Campaign

The PM –– who renewed his membership and became the first party functionary to be enrolled as a member –– asked the party to focus on increasing the membership of women, young people, tribal communities and people in border villages.

He said the party had come a long way from when it had just two members in Parliament and its workers were mocked for being constantly on the move to increase the party’s footprint.

“When someone is born in our family, we feel happy; when a daughter-in-law comes into our family after marriage, then the joy of the expansion of the family is there... when a new member joins, then there is the joy of family expanding. This membership campaign is not a game of numbers. This membership campaign... is an ideological and emotional movement for us,” Modi said at an event to mark the beginning of the membership drive in Delhi.
