BJP hits Nizamabad membership target

Out of four members of each family that voted for the BJP, one was enrolled as a party activist. Based on the polling percentage, the party high command expressed its satisfaction with the enrollment.

For normal membership, anyone can enroll their names. If any leader seeks active membership, they should enroll at least 50 members as normal members.

There are 1,305 polling booths in Nizamabad district, and the party is enrolling around 50 members in each booth. In 180 polling booths in Nizamabad, Bodhan, Armoor, and other towns dominated by Muslim minorities, only single-digit members were enrolled in each polling booth.

Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, BJP Nizamabad district president K. Dinesh Kumar Patel said that the membership drive received a good response. Compared to the Congress and the BRS, the BJP will not provide any insurance facilities to its members, but people are coming forward to enroll as BJP members.

"The BJP gives first priority to the country, then the party, and then the native places of the members," he said. "Other political parties first prefer their families, then the party, and then the country," he opined.

BJP MPs Godam Nagesh of Adilabad, Konda Vishveshwar Reddy of Chevella, Etala Rajender of Malkajgiri, and Arvind Dharmapuri of Nizamabad participated in the BJP membership drive in Nizamabad district.

Party senior leaders Chandrasekhar, former MLC Ramchander Rao, and Kacham Venkateshwarlu also visited Nizamabad to oversee the membership drive. The BJP’s state unit will conduct a workshop on membership on November 18 in Hyderabad.
