DMK launches online memberships drive; focusing on the upcoming elections

  • | Friday | 18th September, 2020

The campaign aims to add at least 25 lakh new members over the next 45 days into the party. 

The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has launched an online campaign to add more members into the party with less than seven months to go for the Tamil Nadu assembly elections.

On the birth anniversary of C.N Annadurai, DMK launched an online membership drive “Ellorum Nammudan” (everyone with us) at Kalignar Arivalayam on Tuesday. The campaign aims to add at least 25 lakh new members over the next 45 days into the party. 

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.

“Those who become members online will enjoy rights on par with regular members. But when they want to vote in the organisational poll, their background details would be verified by the local party representative. They should also complete one year to participate in elections. They can vote in the election if they enroll 25 more members,” the party said.

DMK earlier in April had launched a website ‘Ondrinaivom Vaa’ (Let us come together), an initiative for helping the needy during the COVID-19 pandemic. He introduced a helpline number 90730 90730 and a website ondrinaivomvaa.in. Consisting of five categories — Stalin Connect, People’s helpline, Nallor Koodam, Feed the Poor, Virtual Neighbourhood Groups, all to reach out to the people of Tamil Nadu, the helpline has said to have received more than 20 Lakh calls since its launch.
