BJP begins member background checks to identify people with tainted pasts

New candidates were taken in by the party's MP unit in a hurry without proper verification

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which claims to be the world’s largest political party, has started member verification in Madhya Pradesh to check the background of its recent recruits. When on the previous occasion the party opened its door to new members via a missed call, people joined the BJP in large numbers. These new candidates were taken in a hurry without proper verification. Later, it turned out that many of them had criminal cases against them. Now the state unit has appointed a three-member team to scan the membership registers and identify those with a tainted past.
