BJP State president and former chief minister Babulal Marandi said that BJP has been working in the direction of restoring India's ancient culture and glorious past. “From Jan Sangh era and then BJP has been working in establishing the country back on the post of Vishwa Guru,” said Marandi.
Marandi was addressing party workers at the inauguration of a training class for Panchayat Samiti members of the district in Giridih. He also discussed in detail the aspects like history, development, resolve, commitment etc of the party.
The BJP leader said that in the development journey of Jan Sangh and BJP, service to the nation is at the centre of party politics. He said that the five allegiances of BJP include cultural nationalism, democracy, Gandhian socialism, equality of all religions and value based politics.
The BJP leader further said that party resolution is Antyodaya with integrated human philosophy. India is dedicated to the welfare of the world in the spirit of world brotherhood.
Marandi said that BJP does what it says. “We never compromised on ideas. In independent India, the first sacrifice to protect the unity and integrity of the nation was made by the driving force of the party and the founder of Jan Sangh, Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee. While raising his voice against Two Vidhan, Two Nishan, Two Pradhan, Dr. Mukherjee got himself arrested in Jammu and Kashmir where he was murdered in the jail as part of a conspiracy,” said Marandi. He said that even though BJP’s support base was not large at that time, party resolve was in accordance with the sentiments of the people of India. BJP’s ideological commitment towards national service was strong.
He said that during the Emergency imposed on the country by the Congress Party, the Jan Sangh even erased its identity to protect democracy.
The former chief minister also said that the politics of appeasement has caused great loss to the country. The partition of the country was also the result of appeasement of Congress. In its fundamental thinking, BJP has not adopted appeasement but equality of all religions. Even today, no discrimination is being made on the basis of religion or sect in the implementation of BJP's schemes whether it is the Central Government or the State.
He said that today BJP has become the largest political party in the world by moving forward on the basis of its principled commitments.
Marandi said that BJP has weakened the edge of dynasticism and dynasticism. BJP is an all-touching, all-inclusive and all-wide organization.
“Today, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India is becoming the leader of the world. Villages, poor farmers, tribals, Dalits and backward communities are all joining the mainstream of development. India's cultural pride is being re-established,” added Marandi.
