BJP on Sunday claimed it has emerged as the largest party in the world with a membership strength of 8.8 crores, surpassing the Communist Party of China which has 8.6 crore members.
The party introduced a hi-tech system whereby a person can become a BJP member by merely dialing a mobile number. The party had set a target of enrolling 10 crore members across the country by March 31 but it fell short of its target.
According to BJP leaders, the membership of BJP has touched 8.8 crores as of Sunday night and it might surpass the 10-crore target set by party president Amit Shah.
