Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended and addressed the BJP Rashtriya Sadasyta Abhiyan at BJP headquarters in New Delhi. He emphasized the party’s ongoing commitment to fostering a new political culture in India.
Addressing the event, PM Modi outlined the distinctiveness of the BJP in the Indian political landscape, underscoring its adherence to democratic values and internal democracy. "From the days of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh to the present, we have strived to bring a new political culture to the country," PM Modi stated.
He highlighted that for any political organization entrusted with power by the people, it is essential to embody and nurture democratic values internally. "BJP is the only party that expands its work by following democratic processes in letter and spirit, as per the constitution of our party, continuously making itself capable of living up to the hopes and aspirations of the common people," said PM Modi.
Reflecting on the historical journey of the BJP, PM Modi recalled the early days when party workers, with unwavering dedication, would paint lotus symbols on walls, signifying their commitment and belief. "We are those people who painted lotus on the walls with devotion because we believed that the lotus painted on the walls will someday be painted on the hearts too," said PM Modi. Even today, in some states, Bharatiya Janata Party workers live the same life and fight for their ideals, he added.
Mentioning the 33% reservation for women in assemblies and Parliament, PM Modi also suggested that the Sadasyta Abhiyan should focus on including individuals who can help maximize the success of women candidates in the Party.
While concluding his address, PM Modi underscored the commitment and emotion behind the ‘Sadasyta Abhiyan’, and said, “This ‘Sadasyta Abhiyan’ isn't just a ritual. It's an expansion of our family. It isn't a game of numbers. It doesn't matter the numbers we achieve. This membership drive is an ideological and emotional movement.
