Leadership changes but direction remains the same in BJP says Prime Minister Modi
New Delhi : Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the Bharatiya Janata Party as a family during a program at the party headquarters held to mark the election of the new party president. He stated that while leadership within the organization changes over time, the fundamental direction and ideals of the party remain constant. The Prime Minister congratulated the newly elected president Nitin Nabin on being chosen to lead the largest political party in the world and expressed his personal pride in being a dedicated worker of the organization.
As per agency report, the Prime Minister emphasized that the party operates through a well-defined process rather than just through positions of power. He noted that in the BJP, holding a post is a temporary arrangement while the responsibility of work is a lifelong commitment. He further explained that the leadership is guided by tradition and enriched by experience, always moving the organization forward with a spirit of service to the people and the nation. This philosophy has been reflected throughout the journey of the party from its humble beginnings to its current heights.
The Prime Minister highlighted the character and values of the party workers, stating that for them, the party is greater than the individual and the country is greater than the party. He credited this life mantra for the various challenges overcome during the last eleven years. He described this period as a remarkable journey of earning public trust, which has been reinforced by recent victories in assembly and local body elections. He also touched upon significant milestones such as the removal of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir and the enactment of the law against Triple Talaq, which were once considered impossible tasks.
Regarding social welfare, the Prime Minister mentioned that while tribal communities were viewed merely as a vote bank for decades, the BJP focused on their pain and created specific schemes for the most backward tribes based on sensitivity and equality. He observed that the organizational elections were conducted in a completely democratic manner following the party constitution. He remarked that even as the Prime Minister, he considers himself a worker first and respects the new president as his leader within the party framework.
Outgoing president J.P. Nadda welcomed the new leader, describing Nitin Nabin as a mature and energetic individual who has served as a legislator five times from a young age. The Prime Minister added that as a leader from the millennial generation, Nitin Nabin has witnessed significant changes in India and is well-suited to lead the party during the crucial next twenty-five years aimed at making India a developed nation. The event was attended by senior leaders including Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah, and Nitin Gadkari, along with election officer Dr. K. Laxman.
