The membership drive, called ‘Sanghatan Parva, Sadasyata Abhiyan 2024,’ began on September 2. Vinod Tawde, the campaign convenor, stated that state presidents from nine states were called, and a meeting was held with their teams.
“A meeting was held with many state presidents and party officials to discuss ways to improve the campaign. From MPs to all workers, targets have been set, with a focus on reaching every section of society, including women and villages. All these issues were discussed with the state teams,” said Tawde.
State presidents from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh, and Rajasthan attended the meeting.

Last year, over 40 lakh members were enrolled in Odisha, and this time the target has been increased to one crore,” said the source.
