Dehradun, 7 Jan: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has entered into the second phase of its membership campaign, with hundreds of political workers, including Block Pramukhs and Councillors, joining the party ranks at a function held at the BJP State Headquarters here today. Speaking on the occasion, State President and Rajya Sabha MP Mahendra Bhatt claimed that amidst attempts to vitiate the atmosphere, the enthusiasm of those joining the party clearly demonstrates that the public remains firmly with the BJP.
BJP’s State Media In-charge Manveer Singh Chauhan shared that the second phase of the membership drive was launched today at the party’s state headquarters here. In the presence of State President Bhatt, a large number of public representatives and political activists from Dehradun, Rishikesh, Pauri, and Roorkee formally joined the party. All the new members were welcomed with traditional party scarves and garlands.
In his address, the State Party President extended a heartfelt welcome to the new entrants, acknowledging their faith in the party’s principles and development policies. He observed that the transformation of the country since 2014 has been remarkable and assured the newcomers that their aspirations for regional development and public welfare would be prioritised. He further noted that while the central and state governments are accelerating Uttarakhand’s progress, a frustrated opposition is attempting to spread falsehoods and confusion.
Dharampur MLA Vinod Chamoli, also present at the joining ceremony, highlighted that the large-scale induction of women proves the government is working in the right direction for their welfare. He cited various initiatives such as the 50 per cent reservation in panchayats since 2008, 33 per cent horizontal reservation in government jobs, the Lakhpati Didi scheme, and the 30 per cent quota for women in legislative bodies as evidence of the party’s commitment to empowering the “Matrushakti”.
Among those present were State General Secretaries Kundan Parihar and Deepti Rawat, along with MLAs Umesh Kau and Pradeep Batra. Other senior officials in attendance included State Secretaries Aditya Chauhan and Nalin Bhatt, Office Secretary Jaganmohan Rawat, State Media In-charge Manveer Chauhan, Co-Media In-charge Rajendra Negi, State Spokesperson Kamlesh Raman, Pauri District President Kamal Kishore Rawat, and Subhash Barthwal and Hemant Dwivedi.
Amongst those who joined the party today, Pauri Block Pramukh Asmita Negi stated that they were inspired by the development under the leadership of PM Modi and CM Dhami. She expressed gratitude to the party leadership for the opportunity to serve within the organisation and voiced confidence that their regional development goals would be achieved more effectively through the BJP.
