“We will give special emphasis to youths who are between 18 and 25 years. This includes a substantial number of boys and girls who either study in college or in a university. Youths have immense potential and they are the future of our nation. We want young people to associate themselves with the BJP and work in the nation building process,” said a senior party official on condition of anonymity.
This time, the state unit is aiming for 60 lakh members, a 20 percent increase from the previous target, he said.
Speaking on the same, Bhabesh Kalita, the president of the Assam BJP, stated that the party membership in the BJP is renewed every six years. The national leadership establishes a goal for inducting new people from the society.
“This time, the top leadership set a goal of 10 crore members. Thus, our target in Assam is to link the party with 60 lakh members, and we are optimistic that we will succeed in doing so,” he added.
Chief Minister Himata Biswa Sarma, in the meantime, counselled party members to prioritise enlisting young people between the ages of 18 and 25.
“Elections at colleges and universities are not contested by our party. It is not prohibited, nevertheless, to include them in our party. I implore the block level workers to prioritise getting young people involved in the BJP. In the future, they may carry on our objective for this nation,” he added.
“The BJP is currently the most powerful force in the globe. Only our party workers’ extraordinary strength has made it possible. No one in our party inquires as to the father or mother of a karyakarta. All that the BJP asks of its members is commitment to Bharat Mata, diligence, and self-assurance,” Sarma added.
