Hailing party workers as real warriors, BJP president Jagat Prakash Nadda said that the oufit was set to ink history as it was the only party with internal democracy where workers, not family members, held the key to success.
“The enthusiasm and perseverance of BJP workers gives out an indication about the future of Uttar Pradesh. Of the 1,500 odd small and big parties in the country, the BJP is the only one with internal democracy,” Nadda said while addressing booth-level workers in Lucknow on Friday.
The BJP boss said that it was due to the BJP that Narendra Modi with such a humble background, could become Prime Minister of the country. It is only BJP where people from modest families become Home Minister and Defense Minister of the country,” he said.
“Barring BJP, almost all parties in the country suffer from dynasty politics. Whether you come to BJP by chance, by choice or by accident, once you have done so, you have come to the right place,” Nadda said.
The BJP leader further said that the Congress and Left parties used to make fun of the outfit during its initial years as there was no possibility of the party coming to power.
“We continued to fight for the cause as we believed that ideology can bring change in the country. The Congress and the Left used to talk of revolution while we foucssed on evolution as the strength of our outfit were our workers,” he said.
Nadda said that the principle of integral humanism, Antyodaya and cultural nationalism propounded by Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay have been carried forward by the BJP regimes headed by Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Narendra Modi.
“On grounds of Antyodaya, a policy of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas and Sabka Biswas’ was laid down and based on these policies, Jan Dhan Yojana, Jeevan Dhansh Bima, Ayushman Bharat, Ujjwala Yojana, Saubhagya Yojana, Housing Scheme, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and welfare schemes like Pradhan Mantri Krishi Samman Nidhi were drafted,” he said.
“In UP too, gas connections were distributed to more than one crore poor families, more than one crore 40 lakh toilets were made and the state could become Open Defecation Free (ODF),” he said.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, state BJP chief Swatantra Dev Singh, national organization general secretary BL Santosh, UP in-charge Radha Mohan Singh, BJP general secretary Arun Singh, Dushyant Gautam, Deputy CMs Keshav Prasad Maurya and Dinesh Sharma, UP organization general secretary Sunil Bansal and general secretary Amarpal Maurya were present besides senior party officials and booth chiefs from Lucknow metropolis and Lucknow district.
