TMC slams BJP's membership drive, calls it farce

The Trinamul Congress has described the repeated expressions of dissatisfaction by the BJP's central leadership over the party's membership drive as a source of comic relief.

The BJP's target was to enrol one crore members, but so far, they have only managed to approach the 25-lakh mark. Despite repeated instructions, the desired progress has not been achieved, raising doubts about whether the membership target can be met.

Amidst this scenario, Sunil Bansal (photo), the BJP's central observer for West Bengal and national general secretary, held a meeting with BJP MPs from Bengal.
