BJP organisational meet reviews 12 years of Modi govt, expansion plans
New Delhi, June 1
Bharatiya Janata Party office bearers and karyakartas are meeting in the national capital to take stock of achievements over 12 years of the National Democratic Alliance government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and also to discuss future initiatives to broaden the party's outreach across various sections of society.
The meeting, which began around 2:30 p.m. at the party's national headquarters under the chairmanship of BJP President Nitin Nabin, is expected to continue till late tonight, according to Lok Sabha MP and party National Spokesperson Sambit Patra.
Briefing the media, Patra observed that people have witnessed the country's progress under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with growth across every sector. Additionally, the BJP, either on its own or in alliance with NDA partners, is running the government in 22 states.
Apart from discussing the Modi government's 12 years of achievements, organisational expansion, grassroots strengthening, and future initiatives to broaden the party's outreach across various sections of society are also on the agenda, Patra added.
He stressed that not only has the government achieved significant milestones and established itself successfully in the states, but that the BJP, as an organisation, has also witnessed tremendous growth over the years.
From only two members of Parliament, it has emerged as a major political force through the organisation's continuous expansion, he noted.
The party, he asserted, firmly believes that karyakartas are invaluable and rare assets. The meeting would also discuss in detail all aspects of further strengthening the party and its work at the grassroots level, incorporating suggestions, gathering input from all stakeholders, and consolidating views on various subjects.
Patra shared that "a major transformation" in the BJP's organisational functioning is expected as part of its ongoing expansion under the leadership of the incumbent party President.
Among deliberations underway are issues such as onboarding more youth into the organisation, further strengthening women's empowerment, enabling Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes to progress further, and creating greater opportunities for professionals to contribute and advance, Patra added.

Interesting to see how BJP is focusing on grassroots strengthening and youth onboarding. As someone watching from abroad, it's clear the party has transformed Indian politics. But I wonder if this expansion will truly include diverse voices or just consolidate power.
Women's empowerment and SC/ST progress being discussed is a good sign. But actions speak louder than words, na? We need concrete plans for education and healthcare, not just meetings in Delhi. Still, giving credit where due - the party's organisational machinery is impressive. 🙏
"Karyakartas are invaluable assets" - this is what makes BJP different from other parties. They actually value their ground-level workers. 12 years of consistent governance and still expanding... that's a political lesson in itself. Looking forward to seeing how they handle state-level challenges.
All this discussion about expansion is fine, but what about the common citizen? Petrol prices, inflation, lack of jobs - these are real issues. The BJP should also discuss how to make life easier for the aam aadmi, not just party growth. Still, I appreciate they're having these internal reviews. Better than ignoring problems altogether.
