Kicking off BJP's 'micro-donation' drive, BJP chief JP Nadda on Saturday urged party workers to collect donations ranging from Rs 5 to Rs 1000 from people across the nation. The micro-donation drive begins today - 25 December marking Atal Bihar Vajpayee's birth anniversary and will end on 11 February - Deen Dayal Upadhyay's death anniversary. BJP has raked in Rs 785.77 crores in 2019-2020 in party contributions while Congress received Rs 139 crores.
BJP kicks off 'micro-donation drive'
As per the details of the drive, BJP Karyakartas have been urged to connect with people for micro-donations via the Namo App. Nadda stated that karyakartas who connect with the maximum number of people will be recognised at all levels - district, state, and national. The party workers can track the number of connections they have been able to make via a special referral code built into the Namo App.
Our Karyakartas will connect with millions of people through this micro-donation campaign.

'Donation' module in the NaMo App will be the medium through which we will collect these donations.

In order to attract donations, PM Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and JP Nadda donated Rs 1000 and shared their receipts on Twitter. Flaunting BJP's 'Nation first' culture, lifelong service by cadres, PM Modi said micro-donations will strengthen the party. Shah and Nadda too urged people to do their part to strengthen the party. BJP is the world's largest political party with a 15 crore-strong cadre base.
I have donated Rs. 1,000 towards the party fund of the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Our ideal of always putting Nation First and the culture of lifelong selfless service by our cadre will be further strengthened by your micro donation.
