Rajnath Singh and PM Modi Launch BJP’s 2024 Membership Drive
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has stated that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is not only the world’s largest political party but also the most credible. Speaking at the launch of the BJP’s membership drive, he praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for addressing the ‘crisis of credibility’ in politics by ensuring the party fulfills its promises.
Rajnath Singh said, ‘Nobody can deny the truth that due to the differences between the words and deeds of politicians, people’s trust in India’s politics and politicians has decreased. The crisis of credibility that arose due to it was accepted as a challenge by PM Narendra Modi. PM Modi has always urged that the manifesto should be carefully prepared; it should not be that we are unable to fulfil what we are saying. There should not be any difference between our words and deeds.’
PM Modi, who renewed his membership, described the drive as an expansion of the BJP family and an ideological movement. He proposed including individuals who support the 33% reservation for women in legislative bodies to ensure its success. ‘This very membership drive isn’t just a ritual. It’s an expansion of our family… It isn’t a game of numbers. It doesn’t matter what numbers we achieve. This membership drive is an ideological and emotional movement,’ he said.
The membership drive will be conducted in two phases: from September 2 to September 25 and from October 1 to October 15, targeting specific milestones to ensure a comprehensive reach across the country.
