Bharatiya Janata Party has extended its membership drive across the country for a month. The membership enrollment campaign which was to end on March 31 would now continue till April 30.BJP national secretary Tarun Chugh said that the decision has been taken after assessing the overwhelming response.People of the country have displayed extreme faith in the programmes and policies of the BJP and the BJP 's sh Narinder Modi led government in the centre. So much so that with 8.9 crore members the BJP has already achieved distinction of being the largest political party of the world.Though the response in the entire country has been far more than expected, some prominent states including Madhya Pradesh, Chhatisgarh, Assam, Tripura, Punjab and Paschim Bengal could not participate to the fullest due to Municipal Corporation and Nagar Panchayhat elections. Haryana, Jharkhand and Delhi units also got busy in state assembly elections. By-elections in some states also affected the membership campaign.
