Kolkata: BJP President Amit Shah will be addressing a party committee meeting – Mahasampark Abhiyan – in Kolkata on Tuesday. Shah is expected to meet the party’s new member of five states as BJP has reached a total of 11 crore members.
Party co-observer for West Bengal Siddharth Nath Singh said the party’s strength lies in inducting new members.
The country has been divided into seven zones for the party’s administrative purposes — South, East, West, North, Uttar Pradesh, Central and North East.
Out of 11 core members, 90%v have been analysed and segregated according to their villages and pin codes. About 44 lakh people have registered for the party in Bengal and the party is expecting to more 10,000 to 15,000 active members from the state.
Responding to questions about a possible alliance with the ruling TMC after the Centre’s seemingly soft stand with the party leadership, Siddharth Nath Singh said, “TMC was BJP’s main opponent in the 2016 State Assembly polls and made references at the possible Congress-CPI(M) alliance.â€
“How can we go soft on the TMC? Has the party supported any Bill that we raised? Those who are entering into an alliance are showing their weaknesses. The CPI(M) has openly acknowledged the TMC’s challenge,†Singh added.
