Party sources said that the party has set a target of enrolling at least 75 percent of the total voters in each of the Lok Sabha constituencies but has succeeded in bringing 85 percent people under its fold.
Giving details about the achievement in Assam, BJP sources said that while the assembly segments like Jalukbari, Jagiroad and Nalbari represented by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, Piyush Hazarika and Jayanta Mallabaruah respectively witnessed highest enrollments, some constituencies are yet to achieve the targeted number of members.
Jalukbari assembly segment topped the membership drive with enrollment of 1,03,374 members while in Jaguroad 93,840 took the membership of saffron party during the drive. In Nalbari too, 88253 people took BJP's membership.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has complimented the party workers in Assam for achieving such a feat and said that the membership drive in Assam has crossed 51 lakh.
"Out of the 126 assembly segments in Assam we have over 40,000 members enrolled to the party fold in 62 legislative assembly constituencies during this drive," he said.
IT may be mentioned here that the BJP has started the membership drive #BJPsadasyata2024 on September 2 this year.
