Former Deputy Prime Minister and senior BJP leader lK Advani said that one may be inspired from any source or place and use it in making a constructive society. He was speaking at FICCI auditorium on the launch of the compilation of three books based on what he had written in his blog in the recent past.
“I have learnt a lot from events, political situations and individuals and have tried to implement the same in my personal life. I have also spread these ideas in the public domain through books and other means. I have also learnt from books, movies, religious persons and veteran leaders at various occasions that helped me develop an idea of myself. I always try to use these ideas for others and for the development of the nation,” said the veteran leader.
Three books — which were launched on Tuesday at the event — are My Take, Rashtra Sarvopari and Drishtikone. Those present on the occasion were head of Rastriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Mohan Bhagwat, leaders of Opposition in Rajya Sabha and lok Sabha Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj, former BJP national president Nitin Gadkari, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and BJP Rajya Sabha MP Dr Chandan Mitra with others. Yoga guru Baba Ramdev also graced the occasion.
Bhagwat, who was a special invitee, said that people must learn from the BJP patriarch, who has always struggled for the nation. “Advani motivated people to serve the nation and has never worked for his personal benefit, which makes him different from others. He gets ideas from all possible means and uses it for the growth of the society,” said Bhagwat.
Speaking at the launch, Ramdev said that lK Advani is not great because of his age, but because of his qualities. “The BJP leader has great talent which distinguishes him from others. He thinks like a youth and always talks sense. We always learn a lot from his books and wait for his blog updates enthusiastically,” said Ramdev.
Earlier, presiding over the event, Swaraj said that those who are guided by the veteran leader should consider themselves fortunate.
