Youth Congress National President Keshab Chand Yadav today launched a 28-day membership drive in West Bengal along with the YC's 'Bharat Bachao Andolan' in the state.

The membership drive was part of the 'Bharat Bachao Andolan' to make the young brigade plunge into active politics for dislodging the BJP at Centre and Trinamool Congress in West Bengal," Yadav said.

To a question, he said while there were 1.5 lakh YC primary members in the state now and the organisation was aiming at substantially raising the figure.

"We will hit the streets and hold rallies in the coming one month with the twin slogan to remove the communal BJP at the Centre and the corrupt and undemocratic TMC government in West Bengal in coming 2019 Lok Sabha and 2021 Assembly polls respectively," he said.

Yadav later led a rally to Raj Bhavan but was prevented by the police before the prohibited area.
