Having grown as the world’s largest political party with a massive public following, the challenge which the Bharatiya Janata Party currently faces is from the regional parties, BJP national president J.P. Nadda has said.
Inaugurating the newly constructed BJP district committee office in Kottayam on Sunday, Mr. Nadda accused the regional parties of becoming dynastic institutions. “None of these parties pursue a national ideology, be it the PDP or the National Conference of Jammu and Kashmir, Shiromani Akali Dal of Punjab, or the Chautalas of Haryana.... Besides being family-based parties, they also remain neck-deep in corruption,” he said.
According to Mr. Nadda, BJP currently had a membership of about 180 million where as the Chinese Communist Party had just 90 million members.
