We had 11 crore members and 20 per cent of its is slightly above 2 crores. However, we have already crossed that mark despite our MPs being tied up in he parliament session,” informed Dushyant Kumar Gautam, national vice-president and membership drive co-in-charge.
The drive has been extended till August 20.
