Bihar’s political arena buzzes with renewed energy as the Hinduustani Awam Morcha (HAM), under Jitan Ram Manjhi’s leadership, inaugurates a grand membership enrollment campaign. With eyes set on an extraordinary target of 50 lakh new members nationwide, the initiative begins in Bihar but promises nationwide ripple effects.
The formal launch in Patna drew a cross-section of supporters, from rural laborers to urban professionals. Manjhi, leveraging his decades-long political stature, rallied the crowd with calls for unity and empowerment. ‘This is our moment to claim the respect we deserve,’ he stated, detailing a roadmap that includes door-to-door canvassing, social media blitzes, and community events.
HAM’s strategy is meticulously planned. Bihar, contributing over 40% of the target, will host mega enrollment melas. The party is investing in technology – a dedicated app allows instant sign-ups, complete with biometric verification for authenticity. Training modules for volunteers emphasize HAM’s core pledges: inclusive development, corruption-free administration, and upliftment of weaker sections.
This move arrives against a backdrop of fluid alliances in Bihar politics. As NDA partners negotiate, HAM seeks to demonstrate its vote-pulling prowess. Analysts note that success here could secure better bargaining power in seat allocations.
Skeptics point to logistical hurdles and competition from larger parties. Yet, initial enthusiasm – with 10,000 enrollments on day one – suggests momentum. Districts like Rohtas, Bhojpur, and Vaishali report brisk activity, fueled by local leaders’ involvement.
Looking ahead, the campaign’s success will test HAM’s organizational depth. If it hits even half the target, it could redefine the party’s role in Indian politics. For now, Manjhi’s Morcha marches on, one member at a time, towards a stronger, more visible future.
