RJD launched a major membership drive on Thursday.
Patna, September 19: RJD national president Lalu Prasad Yadav and the leader of the opposition in Bihar assembly Tejashwi Yadav respectively launched a major membership campaign in New Delhi and Patna on Thursday.
RJD is targeting the addition of one crore members in this campaign, which is a significant expansion that reflects the party’s ambitions to strengthen its organization. RJD is active in 20 states in the country. The party currently has around 1 crore members at present.
During the occasion, Tejashwi Yadav stated, “The membership campaign aims to unite people of all sections, especially from poor, exploited and marginalized communities and build a robust party structure at the grassroots level. We have asked our party workers to actively engage in the campaign and reach out to all sections of society,” Yadav said.
The initiative aligns with RJD’s long-standing focus on social justice and inclusion, as the party seeks to consolidate its political base, especially among the backward class, Dalits and minorities.
Tejashwi Yadav took a sharp jab at the BJP over an online membership drive.
“The membership drive of BJP is online and is a fake campaign built on manipulated figures. The BJP is creating an illusion of being the largest party without doing real work for the public on the ground. BJP’s strategy is focused on spreading confusion and fostering hatred, rather than addressing the needs and concerns of the people on the ground,” Yadav said.
