Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National President and Rajya Sabha member Amit Shah on Friday threw up a challenge to party workers and asked them to take a pledge for rooting out Congress party from the country.
“Now 70 per cent of the country covering 19 States have BJP Governments in power; so remaining states have to be brought under party’s fold by first winning the 2018 Assembly polls and then again in 2019 Lok Sabha polls”, he said.
He was addressing the ‘Shakti Kendra Karyakartha’ (Booth Level Workers) Convention held at Logistic Park premises on Friday.
“The victory is ours. There is need to win polls from Panchayat to Parliament, so that party rules the country for next 50 years,” Shah said.
Elections are won by spreading ideology and policy of party. Everyone has the details of 15 years of BJP government in Chhattisgarh and more than 4 years rule under Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Centre. Everyone has to reach out to the voters, convince them and motivate them to vote for the party,” he said.
Leaders do not win election; it is the hard work and willpower of party workers, which ensure elections are won. It all started from 10 members of Jan Sangh having faced continuous failures but continued to strive and now BJP has 18 crore members, the highest in the world, the party’s National President said.
“Loss of Congress was gain of BJP, which took its tally to 19 states where the BJP governments exist. AICC President Rahul Gandhi is asking what has been done in last 4 years; instead he should answer what was done in country by his last four generations”, Shah said.
They (Congress) have left many states as BIMRAU States, he said.
Shah highlighted the Jan-Dhan yojana to link back accounts, health insurance scheme of Rs 5 lakh, LPG distribution, vaccination drive, Mudra Scheme covering 12 crore youth, hike in MSP for farmers, including the surgical strike.
Country would not tolerate illegal immigrants as they are consuming the resources of local people; so when in Assam NRC was implemented, Rahul Gandhi started started voicing human rights violation. But what about human rights of local residents, who are being denied job, food and other facilities at cost of immigration”, he asked.
“I ask Rahul Gandhi to clear his stand on the issue as BJP is clear that it would not tolerate illegal immigrants”, Shah said.
