Punia said that the goal of this membership drive is to expand the idea of nationalism to the booth, respond to religion conversion, love-jihad and anti-national thoughts. The BJP is now a party of public concerns and not just of election slogans, he said.

He said the party will celebrate a "Membership Target Fulfillment Week" from August 4 to August 11.Under this, "membership chaupal" will be organised from August 4 to 8 and door-to-door membership drive will be organised from August 8 to 11, Punia said.

Delhi BJP general secretary and head of the campaign Kuljeet Chahal also said that the conveners and co-conveners of all the 14 BJP district units have been appointed and the block-level conveners and co-conveners will be appointed in the coming week.

The nationwide drive has received great success and Delhi BJP is a front runner, said Kuljeet Chahal, Delhi BJP general secretary and in-charge of the campaign in the city.In Delhi, the campaign was launched with fanfare at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium by senior party leader and national in-charge of the campaign Shivraj Singh Chauhan on June 7.
