CHENNAI: A day after BJP national president Amit Shah left Tamil Nadu , the party’s state president Tamilisai Soundararajan said the party is currently focusing only on achieving the enrolment target and not looking out for allies in the state.Tamilisai’s statement comes days after DMK president M Karunanidhi ’s statement that the BJP and J Jayalalithaa-led AIADMK were warming up to each other in Tamil Nadu. Speaking to ET in Chennai on Friday, Tamilisai said, “We are not looking at forming alliances currently. Our leader has clearly asked us to focus on increasing the party’s base in the state and that is what we are all focusing on now.” She added that the state unit of the party will adopt a “business-like approach’” to meet the steep target of enrollment.The BJP’s target is to complete 60 lakh enrollment in the state by the end of this month. The party claims 22 lakh members in Tamil Nadu. “When the party president arrived for the second time to assess the BJP’s performance in Tamil Nadu, we were not only encouraged but it was a learning experience for the 2,600 party representatives he met with,” Tamilisai said. The state unit of the BJP claims that it worked out Amit Shah’s meeting with party representatives more like a business conference.“We had not asked everyone from the party to come over. Instead we went about it with a plan. We identified people from the 600 mandals in Tamil Nadu and then sent out invites for their meeting with the party president. We invited 2,700 party representatives while 2,600 of them turned up. They were all impressed and influenced by the party president,’’ Tamilisai said.The BJP is trying to make inroads into Tamil Nadu, which has been a bastion of the two major Dravidian parties – AIADMK and DMK alternatively. Tamilisai has made it clear that the party plans to consolidate its position primarily by widening the base.The BJP has been trying to position itself as the third major player in the state. With AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa’s ongoing appeal against her conviction by a trial court and the corruption cases against many senior DMK members, the BJP thinks it’s time is right to appeal to the people to vote them in. But before that they want numbers on their side and therefore they claim to be racing against time to achieve a near impossible target.“Our party representatives have spread out wide and far across the state to meet enrollment targets. But we are finding it very difficult to change the people’s mindsets, which have been influenced by the money culture practiced by all the other parties in the state. These parties have been purchasing votes by giving cash and in our campaign we tell people that this has to change,’’ she added.“We are taking up booth-wise enrollments and are looking at getting at least 100 enrollments in each of the 60,000 booths in the state,” she added. The BJP did not win a single seat in Tamil Nadu in the 2011 assembly elections whereas the BJP-led NDA alliance bagged a solitary seat in the 2014 parliamentary election in which the AIADMK won 37 out of 39 seats.
