The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has witnessed a significant influx of young members, with 61% of new enrollees during its membership drive being under the age of 35. This was revealed by BJP MP and national spokesperson Sambit Patra, citing information from party President J P Nadda.

During a meeting held at the party headquarters, leaders discussed preparations for upcoming organizational polls. Nadda highlighted the youth surge in BJP membership, emphasizing the party's appeal to younger demographics.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent outreach to the youth, urging those from non-political backgrounds to engage in politics, appears to resonate well. Modi criticized rival parties for nepotism and stressed the need for young, fresh voices in politics, linking this initiative to combating casteism and dynastic politics.
