The membership drive was initiated by BJP National President JP Nadda, who renewed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s membership on September 2 in Delhi.Rivaba herself had joined the BJP in 2019 and successfully contested the Jamnagar North seat in 2022 assembly elections, defeating AAP candidate Karshanbhai Karmur.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the BJP’s 2024 membership drive, ‘Sanghatan Parva, Sadasyata Abhiyan 2024,’ earlier this week. He renewed his own membership and encouraged party workers to make special efforts to connect with the youth. The BJP has set an ambitious target of enrolling 100 million members through this latest drive.
