PM Modi’s Leadership in BJP’s Active Membership Drive
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a significant step towards energizing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), became the first active member of the party by launching the ‘Sakriya Sadasyata Abhiyan’ (Active Membership Campaign). This campaign is a key part of the BJP’s larger initiative to expand its membership base and strengthen its grassroots presence ahead of the 2024 elections. Modi was joined by BJP National President JP Nadda and Vinod Tawde, convener of the National Membership Campaign, for the launch event.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Modi expressed his pride in becoming the first active member and emphasized the importance of this initiative in driving the party’s progress and contribution to national development. He described the campaign as pivotal in ensuring BJP workers, known as Karyakartas, play an effective role in India’s progress and the party’s organizational growth.
What It Means to Be an Active Member
To become an active member, Karyakartas must register at least 50 members within a single booth or Vidhan Sabha seat. These active members will be eligible to contest elections for Mandal Committees and other roles within the party, giving them opportunities to influence the party’s direction and work on broader national initiatives. Modi’s active membership symbolizes his commitment to the party’s future and serves as an example for party workers to follow.
The Broader ‘Sangathan Parva Membership Campaign-2024’
The ‘Active Membership Campaign’ follows the successful completion of earlier phases of the BJP’s membership drive, titled ‘Sangathan Parva Membership Campaign-2024.’ Modi first renewed his membership during the campaign’s launch in September 2024, urging BJP workers to focus on engaging with young people. The BJP’s membership drive has seen significant growth, surpassing nine crore members nationwide by mid-October 2024. Notably, in Uttar Pradesh alone, the BJP claims to have registered over two crore members.
With the third phase of the campaign now underway, the focus has shifted to active membership, which is aimed at building a more engaged and dynamic base of party workers across India.
Conclusion
PM Modi’s decision to become the BJP’s first active member underscores his leadership and dedication to expanding the party’s reach at the grassroots level. Through the ‘Sakriya Sadasyata Abhiyan,’ the BJP hopes to mobilize more members, strengthen its organizational structure, and maintain its electoral dominance as the country heads toward the 2024 elections.
