Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha on Monday  said the spontaneous response from people during the membership drive will further strengthen the foundation of the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Dr Saha said this while participating in the membership drive in Ward No. 20 and Ward No. 40 under the Bardowali Mandal.

“The membership drive of BJP is currently in its second phase in the state. The period for enrollment has also been extended up to November 15. We are visiting various places, and people are showing a strong interest in taking BJP's membership. Leaders and karyakartas are reaching out everywhere, and I am also visiting my assembly constituency to enroll people in different wards. Today, I have visited various wards,” said Dr Saha.

He further emphasized that people are now willingly joining BJP.

“The enthusiastic response during the membership drive will further strengthen the foundation of the Bharatiya Janata Party. People now understand that BJP has no alternative. For development and progress, they are turning to BJP, and it is only due to the party's development goals and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s sincere efforts that people are showing such interest. BJP is dedicated to the welfare of the people. We work to address their problems,” he added.

In the membership drive, the Chief Minister was accompanied by Mayor and MLA Dipak Majumder, Councillor Ratna Dutta and Mandal president Sanjay Saha among others.
