Badi Bahas: 30 lakh Muslims join BJP in new membership drive

Are PM Narendra Modi's efforts to reach out to the minority community paying off? A day after Modi met with a 30-member delegation of All India Imam Organization, claimed that as many as 30 lakh Muslims have joined the BJP in a recent membership drive. Quoting BJP's national minority cell chief Abdul Rasheed Ansari, the report said, "Around 4 lakh of them have joined in Madhya Pradesh, followed by Gujarat (2.6 lakh), Delhi (2.5 lakh), West Bengal (2.3 lakh) Rajasthan and Assam (over 2 lakh each)." UP's minority cell chief Rumana Siddiqui was quoted as saying that the number of Muslims in UP BJP never touched the 1 lakh-mark, but this time the party has seen registration of 1.75 members from the minority community. A six-month long membership drive came to an end in April 2015 -- just before Narendra Modi about to complete its first year in office.
