Bharatiya Janata Party finally had 10 crore members. BJP’s membership campaign started on September 2, which was to last for 50 days. The official period of the membership campaign ended last week. Now the party has said that it has crossed the limit of 10 crore members. On the basis of such numbers, BJP has been claiming that it is the largest party in the world. In this matter its competition is with the Communist Party of China, whose number of members is a little more than eight crores. That means Bharatiya Janata Party has left this number behind by a huge margin.
It is a different matter that many questions have been raised regarding the methods of making members. There are complaints from many places that people went to get vaccinated and were made members by taking mobile numbers. It is also reported that when people gathered for an eye operation in a hospital in Gujarat, their names and numbers were taken and they were made members even before the operation. According to the news, at midnight a person woke up three hundred and fifty people, took their numbers and made them members. Many such incidents have happened. Still, the number of 10 crores is very big and definitely other parties should learn from BJP how party leaders and workers are kept engaged in some work related to the organization.
