@Guypes26 Thanks for this.

• Not sure if Best Diplomats is a reliable source.
• Hindustan Times is a reliable source but its says BJP eyes 55 million enrollments. And says BJP claims it is the largest party. We can't use claims. Independent sources need to verify it.
• The Times of India is generally reliable. This can be taken as a reference to support this claim.

I would want to hear from some more people before adding this. Readers, please feel free to express. Additionally, I myself would like to add some sources which can help to support this.

• The Sydney Morning Herald - BJP v CCP: The rise of the world's biggest political party
• The Times of India - How BJP became world's largest political party in 4 decades
• National Review - His Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP, or “Indian People’s Party”) is on the right of the Indian political spectrum. It is the largest political party in the world, with more members than the Chinese Communist Party, and supports Hindu nationalist ideology and economic development.

There is some redundancy between these tables, and they are covering conceptually similar material; would someone be willing to combine them? Vanamonde93 (talk) 18:05, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Vanamonde93 Concerns arise as BJP-related articles are heavily edited by a few users who may not appreciate my edits, as they prefer including only positive points. Therefore, I would choose to avoid it. 25 CENTS VICTORIOUS ^🍁 06:48, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
