Hyderabad, Aug 30 (Representative) Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay on Friday stated that the BJP’s membership drive aims to enroll 10 crore members across the country. Speaking at a membership registration workshop held at Shubham Convention Hall in Nagole on Friday, Sanjay Kumar highlighted that the BJP is the largest political party in the world. He urged party workers in Telangana to maximize membership by encouraging people to join the BJP by giving a missed call to 8800002024. “The BJP received 77 lakh votes in the last MP election in Telangana. Our goal is to convert these 77 lakh voters into BJP members,” he said. The Minister added that the success of leaders like Prime Minister Modi and himself are due to the tireless efforts of party activists. “The BJP’s membership goal will only be achieved if our workers reach out to the masses.” He called for one lakh new members to be recruited from the Old City, emphasizing the transformation of the Old City into a “New City.” Sanjay promised that those who exceed membership registration targets set for each morcha would be honoured by the Prime Minister.
Criticising the Congress, the Union Minister said, “The Congress is the party that divided the country. It has betrayed the nation with its family rule and monarchical trends, as seen with Article 370, the Babri Masjid issue, and minority acts.” He contrasted this with the BJP, which, according to him, has sacrificed ministerial positions for ideology and freed 25 crore people from poverty by implementing Deen Dayal Upadhyaya’s Antyodaya philosophy. Bandi also praised former Prime Minister Vajpayee for implementing nuclear weapons for national defence and credited Modi for abolishing Article 370, following in the footsteps of Shyamaprasad Mukherjee. Sanjay Kumar emphasized the BJP’s commitment to women’s rights by providing 33 percent reservation for women in legislatures, fulfilling Dr Ambedkar’s ambitions. He urged BJP workers to convert those who have benefited from the BJP government, such as women receiving free gas connections, into party members.
“The Congress, BRS, and Communists have not made any sacrifices for this country. The Congress is nothing more than a family party, while the BRS is enjoying power built on the sacrifices of Telangana’s martyrs,” Kumar said, accusing the Congress of spreading false propaganda about a potential merger between BRS and BJP. The Minister reiterated that the BJP’s goal is to form a government in Telangana by 2028 and dismissed rumours of a BRS-BJP merger, calling it “shameless drama” by the BRS and Congress. He encouraged BJP workers to work hard for the establishment of “Rama Rajyam” in Telangana, emphasizing the party’s history of empowering common workers to rise to positions of power.
