JJP launches drive, aims to add 5,000 new members to each Assembly constituency
The JJP, junior partner in the previous Bharatiya Janata Party-led Haryana government, had drawn a blank in the Assembly election last year with its vote share reducing from 14.8% to less than 1%. It had 10 MLAs in the previous Vidhan Sabha.
Kicking off the party's membership campaign at Jind and Sonipat, former Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala said the party aimed to recruit 5,000 new members in each of the 90 Assembly constituencies and 25 active members at each booth. In an obvious reference to the party's defeat in the recent election, Mr. Chautala, who had faced the ire of the farmers for not supporting their agitation against the three agriculture laws proposed by the Centre, said ups and downs are part of the political journey, and exhorted the party's cadres to work hard as 'struggle never goes in vain'.
The party claimed that thousands of people, including former Indian National Lok Dal general secretary Dilbagh Antil and Congress's Anoop Singh Dahiya along with their supporters, took the JJP's membership on the first day of the drive.
Campaign launches
The party's general secretary, Digvijay Singh Chautala, launched the membership campaign in Sirsa and Fatehabad. He announced that the JJP will kick off a 'Yuva Jodo Abhiyan' from Kaithal on June 18.
Former MLA Naina Singh and former Julana MLA Amarjeet Dhanda launched the party's membership drive programme in Hisar. Ms. Singh said women's participation in JJP had always been special and during this membership campaign the party's women office-bearers and workers would leave no stone unturned.
JJP national president Ajay Singh Chautala started the membership campaign in Bhiwani and Dadri and exhorted the party's rank and file to go to every village, city and town of the State to connect people with the JJP and strengthen the party.

Carrying banners, posters and placards in their hands, the MLAs of Samajwadi Party gathered near the statue of Chaudhary Charan Singh on the Assembly premises and raised anti-government slogans. The Opposition leaders raised slogans such as "Aap Chalaye Madhushala, Hum Chalayenge PDA Pathshala." SP MLA Sangram Yadav, R.K. Verma, Faheem, Jai Prakash Anchal and Nafees Ahmed were among those who participated in the protest. During the session, the SP is likely to raise the issue of merger of schools, the prevailing flood situation in the State and other issues. The ruling party is set to present the draft of Vision Document-2047. Earlier on Sunday, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath held an all-party meeting. In the meeting, Mr. Adityanath said it is necessary to have meaningful discussions on issues related to the public in the House, because only public representatives can best express the sentiments of the public in the House. The Chief Minister said it will be the first session which will have a detailed discussion on the 'Vision Document', which will include suggestions from all parties for the overall development of the State. 'This will not be the agenda of any political party, but will be a shared blueprint for the future of the State,' he added.

Cong office is a temple, build one to show your contribution
Mysuru: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and KPCC President D.K. Shivakumar has urged Congress MLAs and block presidents to construct party offices in every Assembly constituency, calling it the true measure of their contribution to the party. Speaking at the foundation stone-laying ceremony for the Indira Gandhi Congress Bhavan in Mysuru, Shivakumar said, 'For Congress workers, the party office is a temple, a shrine to protect democracy. Whether you contribute Rs100 or Rs1,000, your support should be remembered by your family as your service to the party.' The event coincided with Raksha Bandhan and Quit India Day. Shivakumar praised leaders like Tanveer Sait and Tiwari for their commitment, noting that properties have been transferred to the party in several constituencies. He recalled that it has been 100 years since Mahatma Gandhi became Congress president, and Mallikarjun Kharge now holds the post, adding that the party aims to build offices in 100 locations across Karnataka. He stressed that party offices should not be set up in legislators' homes but as permanent structures for the organisation. He lauded the dedication of several MLAs who donated land or funds, citing examples from Maddur, Ron, and other constituencies. Shivakumar also mentioned his own contribution of land in Ramanagara, where construction is underway with financial backing from ministers and local MLAs.
