BJP's membership strength today crossed the four crore mark, an achievement lauded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"Our membership drive has crossed four crore (40 million) mark with the support of karyakartas and enthusiastic public," BJP President Amit Shah said.
Lauding the workers for making the party's ambitious membership drive a success, Prime Minister Modi tweeted, "(I) Am extremely delighted to know that BJP membership drive has crossed 4 crore mark! I congratulate Karyakartas for their efforts."
