Launched by DMK leader MK Stalin, the ‘Ellorum Nammudan’ campaign has almost one lakh new members who have joined in less than three days.
The party said that more than 35,000 people have joined the party in less than 24 hours through an online portal earlier.
A statement issued by the party said that anyone who has attained 18 years of age can become a member of the party and that no membership fee will be charged.
The local party units will verify the details uploaded by individuals to enable them to become formal members of the party, the statement said.
