New Delhi: BJP president Amit Shah on Wednesday hailed his party's drive to enrol new members and train them, and said opposition parties are also now emulating this exercise.

Addressing party functionaries after releasing training booklets to educate workers, Shah said the BJP's ideology is aimed at changing the society and the country's politics, sources said.

The training booklets also include measures to effectively deal with media.
