Union Home Minister Amit Shah will launch the special membership drive of the Bharatiya Janata Party during his Lucknow visit on 29 October. Shah will also preside over some key meetings regarding the party’s preparation for the 2022 UP assembly elections. The Union minister is also likely to hold separate meetings with CM Yogi Adityanath and the organization’s office bearers. If the election discussion is to be believed, the BJP is preparing to cut the tickets of one-fourth of its sitting MLAs in the UP assembly elections to be held in 2022.

Meanwhile, the BJP is all set to launch its special membership drive ahead of the 2022 UP elections with an aim to induct 1.5 crore new members. The party claims that so far it has 2.5 crore members in the state. It is expected that BJP will focus on beneficiaries of government schemes, first time voters, enlightened class, minorities and women during this election. The membership drive will be conducted at the booth level. A target has been set to connect 100 people to each booth. For this, the target will be given to the party officials. The goal is to have at least 9 new members per active member.

Speaking to News18 about the new membership drive, BJP spokesperson Rakesh Tripathi had said, “In 2022, about 300 plus seats is not a dream for us, last time also we crossed the mark and this time also we will get 300 seats. will cross the figure. We are going to start our new membership drive with an aim to add 1.5 crore new members. We already have 2.5 crore members. Now our target is 60% votes and the figure of more than 300 seats is quite possible for BJP.

Efforts will also be made to sabotage the original votes of other parties. Membership will be given by giving a missed call and filling the form. Later the party officials will also contact the new workers. It is believed that those who got the benefit of government schemes had voted for BJP in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. In such a situation, those people should also remain voters of BJP, so they should be contacted and made members. The BJP’s strategy is to create psychological pressure on the opposition parties by engaging a large number of people with the Bharatiya Janata Party through membership campaigns.
