YC natl president launches membership drive in Bengal

Aug 11 (PTI) Youth Congress National

President Keshab Chand Yadav today launched a 28-day

membership drive in West Bengal along with the YC's 'Bharat

Bachao Andolan' in the state.

The membership drive was part of the 'Bharat Bachao

Andolan' to make the young brigade plunge into active politics

for dislodging the BJP at Centre and Trinamool Congress in

West Bengal," Yadav said.

To a question, he said while there were 1.5 lakh YC

primary members in the state now and the organisation was

aiming at substantially raising the figure.

"We will hit the streets and hold rallies in the

coming one month with the twin slogan to remove the communal

BJP at the Centre and the corrupt and undemocratic TMC

government in West Bengal in coming 2019 Lok Sabha and 2021

Assembly polls respectively," he said.

Yadav later led a rally to Raj Bhavan but was

prevented by the police before the prohibited area.
