Cricketer Ravindra Jadeja joins BJP, wife Rivaba shares pictures

Cricketer Ravindrasinh Jadeja on Thursday, September 8, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). His wife Rivaba, who is also a BJP MLA, shared the pictures of their BJP membership cards on her social media account. The membership card showed a picture of the cricketer, state and his membership number.

On September 2, the BJP launched a nationwide membership drive at BJP headquarters Extension Office in the national capital in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The membership drive will be conducted in two phases--September 2 to September 25 and October 1 to October 15. Each phase will target specific milestones, ensuring a comprehensive reach across the country.

The campaign will set membership targets for each unit, from booth to State levels, based on the party's performance in recent elections.

State workshops were held from August 19 to 21, followed by district workshops from August 22 to 24. Mandal workshops are scheduled for August 25 to 27, and a meeting of Page Pramukhs will take place at all booths on August 31 to prepare for the campaign.

A "Sadasyata Sahayogi" (Membership Assistant) will also be appointed for every Shakti Kendra, responsible for overseeing the "Mahasampark" (Grand Outreach) phase from September 10 to September 17.

Also, the first 15 days of the campaign will focus on door-to-door outreach at every booth before moving on to larger public activities.

A National Team, under the convenorship of Vinod Tawde, National General Secretary, has been formed to oversee the campaign. State, District and Mandal teams, along with Morchas and Cells, will also be established, with a focus on media, social media and IT coordination.
