During the event, state BJP President Babulal Marandi highlighted the importance of the initiative, stating, "This program offers a prime opportunity for our members to exhibit their commitment and activism towards the party. Renowned for its solid organizational structure, the BJP aims to fortify its grassroots presence through this campaign. Our members will vigorously drive this initiative statewide to amplify the party's footprint."
This active membership drive follows the general membership campaign launched on December 22, where 5,628 centers across the state facilitated registrations through missed calls and the NaMo app. The earlier campaign successfully registered lakhs of new supporters.
Upon completion of the active membership drive, the party intends to establish booth committees. Following this, elections for mandal and district presidents will be organized, with booth-level committees playing a pivotal role.
