Wed Sep 18 03:33:50 UTC 2024: ## Assam BJP Surpasses 25 Lakh Members in Membership Drive

**Guwahati, September 18:** The Assam BJP has surpassed 25 lakh members in its ongoing membership drive, exceeding expectations and setting its sights on reaching 40 lakh by September 25. The party’s state president, Bhabesh Kalita, announced the achievement on Tuesday, attributing the success to a convenient digital enrollment process through missed calls.

While the drive has seen significant success in regions like Barak Valley, Kamrup district, and Upper Assam, Kalita acknowledged a slower response in areas like Dhubri and Bodoland. He expressed confidence that the party will reach its 40 lakh target within the next few weeks.

Tourism Minister Jayanta Mallabaruah echoed Kalita’s sentiments, highlighting the immense support received during the membership exercise. He stated that the party is nearing 26 lakh members and expects further growth before the September 25 deadline.

Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma also encouraged public participation in the drive, hinting at a potential extension beyond the deadline for manual registration. The BJP aims to continue expanding its base across Assam through this initiative.
