Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister and former national president of the BJP, will lay the cornerstone of the ruling BJP’s Tripura state headquarters on December 22, a party leader announced on Friday. According to a BJP leader, Shah would lay the cornerstone for the state head office, or state Pradesh office, in Natun Nagar, which is outside of Agartala city. He claimed that the BJP began organizing in 1983 and that, as a result of its and other frontal organizations’ persistent efforts, the party was able to overthrow the CPI-M-led Left Front, which had controlled the state for 35 years in two phases, in March 2018.
The BJP in Tripura registered 11.91 lakh members during its most recent drive, nearly doubling its membership from 2019. Of the more than 11.91 lakh BJP members, 9.41 lakh have registered online, while 2.50 lakh have done so offline, according to BJP leader Bhagaban Chandra Das, who is in charge of the membership campaign for Tripura state. According to him, 6.50 lakh people in Tripura enrolled for membership during the previous membership campaign in 2019.
He said that a significant portion of the party’s members were women, farmers, young people, tribal members, members of Scheduled Castes, laborers, and service members. Das, a sitting BJP MLA, stated that the election to 3,349 party booths around Tripura has begun following member enrollment. He stated that elections to all 60 “Mandals” would be held following the conclusion of the booth-level organizational election, followed by district-level and state-level elections.
