Chandigarh: Haryana Agriculture Minister Shyam Singh Rana on Saturday visited the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) state headquarters in Rohtak, marking a significant gesture as he became the first cabinet minister to do so since the BJP formed its third consecutive government in the state.  

During his visit, Rana held a detailed discussion with Phanindranath Sharma, the party’s State General Secretary (Organisation), regarding the ongoing membership drive launched by the BJP in Haryana. Sharma extended a warm welcome to the minister and expressed his gratitude for Rana’s visit. “Your proactive approach and visit to the headquarters reflect your commitment to the party’s growth and outreach initiatives,” Sharma remarked.  

Highlighting the success of the membership campaign, Rana noted the overwhelming response it had received across the state. He assured Sharma that the BJP was on track to achieve its ambitious target of enrolling 50 lakh new members within a week. The minister emphasized the party’s strategic efforts to strengthen its grassroots presence, particularly in his constituency.  

“In the Radaur assembly segment alone, we are confident of inducting 20,000 fresh members, which will significantly bolster the party’s base in Yamunanagar district,” Rana stated.  

The BJP’s membership drive was officially inaugurated with the renewal of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini’s membership. The campaign aims to reinforce the party’s position in Haryana by engaging new members and consolidating its organizational strength ahead of the upcoming electoral challenges.  

Rana’s visit to the party office and his commitment to the drive underline the BJP’s focus on solidifying its support at the local level while building a robust political machinery across the state.
