BJP chief Rajnath Singh on Thursday described the principal Opposition party as the only ideology-driven outfit having a long political history, which never suffered a vertical split.
He also described the BJP as the “most disciplined party” which faces the challenge of restoring the faith of the younger generation in the political system.
“Other parties neither have ideology nor have constructive thinking. This is the reason why these political parties have experienced vertical division several times,” Singh said at the Inauguration Session of the Two-Day National Executive Meeting of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) in the Capital.
Singh said he himself started his career as district vice-president of the BJYM to Yuva Morcha national president in year 1988. Singh then rose to the position of being UP’s Education Minister followed by Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and also served as Union Cabinet Minister.
“Such circumstances are possible only in ideology-based political party like the BJP where a farmer’s son like me reached the position where am now,” Singh said, expressing concerns about “credibility of politicians”. He urged the Yuva Morcha activists to try and eradicate this problem in the coming years.
BJYM chief Anurag Singh Thakur, the lok Sabha MP from Hamirpur, said the UPA Government has failed at all levels. He argued that the Government was leading the country towards destruction, unemployment, corruption, terrorism and Naxalism.
“It is the utmost requirement of this country that today’s youth should unite to make handsome efforts to dethrone the corrupt and worthless Government,” Thakur said announcing that the Yuva Morcha will launch Jail Bharo Andolan across the country on June 26.
Thakur also announced that the Yuva Morcha will start the Youth Membership Drive across country from July 6. The membership drive will ensure that maximum number of youth are enrolled with the BJYM during this nationwide campaign.
