JAMMU, Aug 17: To accelerate the ongoing membership drive and reach every nook and corner of the State, BJP State President Shamsher Singh Manhas kicked off week long special membership drive from Vikas Lane of Talab Tillo near here today. Over 2000 activists of the Party have undertaken this exercise in 100 places in Jammu, Leh and Kashmir valley on the first day and senior leaders have been deputed and assigned various areas to over see this mammoth exercise, a Party handout issued here said.
Speaking on the significance of special drive of the party, Shamsher Singh Manhas said that the membership drive energizes and activates the Party cadre and draws the attention of the public towards the public-spiritedness of the party and its rank and file. He said that the Party started its membership in the state few weeks ago and it has been decided to put in extra efforts in the drive before its culmination with a motive to reach the areas where the Party activists feel that extra efforts are needed.
He said that it is the practice in BJP to go to the people with Party’s ideology, principles and agenda to seek their support to further strengthen and broaden its base. He said that the overwhelming response during the past one and half month has indicated that the people, cutting across faith and region, are enthusiastically becoming the members as they have realized that it is the BJP alone which has been raising and agitating for the cause of the masses.
Manhas said that BJP is being painted as a communal political party by self proclaimed so-called secularist parties like Congress, NC and PDP but it has been proved time and again that these parties are real communal outfits and are persuing politics of creating communal divisions to garner votes.
BJYM State President Munish Sharma, Senior leader Shiv Kumar Gupta, District Vice-president Sanjay Baru, Membership Incharge Talab Tillo Mandal Ayodhya Gupta, Jaideep Samyal, Chander Mohan Gupta, N.D. Rajwal, Jeet Angral were among several other BJP leaders who participated in the programme.
