Prime Minister Narendra called the “election machine” phrase for the BJP as an insult to the party and said that winning election is the byproduct of his party workers’ efforts.
He launched the BJP’s membership drive – ‘Sanghatan Parva, Sadasyata Abhiyan 2024’ at the party headquarters in the national capital, he said that for the BJP, the membership drive is the expansion of the family.
“We are not just an election machine. We are the nourishment that nurtures the dreams of our fellow citizens. We are the nourishment that immerses itself in the journey of turning the nation’s dreams into resolutions and those resolutions into achievements, dedicating ourselves completely to this cause”, he said.
“Another round of ‘Sadasyata Abhiyan’ is beginning today. From Bharatiya Jana Sangh till now, we have made all possible efforts to bring a new political culture in the country. The organisation or political party through which people give power, that unit, that organisation, that party… if it doesn’t follow democratic values, if internal democracy doesn’t live in it, then a situation arises which is faced by several other political parties today,” PM Modi said while addressing the party workers.
He also pitched an idea for the maximum participation of women in elections. “This very membership drive isn’t just a ritual. It’s an expansion of our family…It isn’t a game of numbers. It doesn’t matter the numbers we achieve. This membership drive is an ideological and emotional movement,” he added.
During this membership drive, the Prime Minister recalled that during the same period, 33% reservation would have been implemented in the state Assemblies and Lok Sabha. If this 33% reservation for women is going to come in this period, he announced that he will include all those people in his membership campaign, who can make the maximum number of women victorious and make them MLAs and MPs.
