Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday said weakening the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will mean creating “innumerable obstacles” in India’s path to attain the position of a global leader.
Addressing party workers on the occasion of the 46th foundation day of BJP here, Sarma also opined that the saffron party will serve the nation till the sun and moon will be there.
“Weakening the BJP does not mean weakening any individual. It means weakening an ideology and national pride. Weakening the BJP means creating innumerable obstacles in the path to take India to the world stage,” he said. Sarma appealed to every party worker to take a pledge to make India a global leader in the coming years. “The BJP will serve the nation till sun and moon are there, I wish the same. I appeal to all to dedicate themselves to the service of the nation,” he added. Sarma said that many sections will try to weaken and defame the party in its march towards progress and strength in the coming period. “Social media can be used to defame and weaken the BJP. That is why, we must be strong in social media also so that we can take forward the positive things to the people,” he added.
The construction of the Ram temple is not only a simple temple-building process, but a bright example of freeing ourselves from the “500 years of slavery”, Sarma asserted. The CM further said that nation comes first than personal aspirations, and nothing comes ahead of the nation’s interest. “If there was no BJP, a landmark legislation like Waqf Bill would have not passed. Likewise, Section 370 would have not been abolished or minority women would not have got justice from Triple Talaq if there was no BJP. There would not be development in the Northeast without the BJP,” he claimed.
Sarma opined that the BJP has been able to leave a positive imprint in every sphere of life in Assam, and that is why it is ruling in every autonomous council, municipal council and panchayat bodies.
“BJP is working to strengthen the Assamese society by uplifting the pride of the community,” he added.
Earlier in the morning, Sarma along with Assam BJP chief Dilip Saikia hoisted the party flag at its state headquarters in the presence of senior leaders and
general members.
