On his first visit to Bihar as the National President of the BJP, Nitin Nabin launched a scathing attack on Opposition parties, hinting at the RJD and the Congress for focusing on the progress of their families instead of serving the nation.
“Parties that begin with themselves and end with themselves cannot ensure a bright future for Bihar or for the country,” he said.
Speaking at a welcome ceremony organised by the party on Monday in Patna, Nitin Nabin said that Bihar will play an important role in making India a developed nation by 2047. He called upon party workers to remain united and work with team spirit to secure a bright future for the state.
Recalling the struggles of senior BJP leaders, he said the party has emerged as a major force today because of their sacrifices.
“During the era of ‘jungle raj,’ it was difficult for BJP workers even to step out of their homes to distribute pamphlets. Yet they faced those challenges to publicise the party’s ideology, and it is because of their sacrifices that the party has moved forward. We must further strengthen the party by strengthening its ideology,” he said.
On the occasion, he also recalled the BJP’s ideological foundations, stating that Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee gave the inspiration of nationalism, Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya presented the concept of ‘Antyodaya’, and Atal Bihari Vajpayee gave the mantra of good governance. He said BJP governments today are guided by the ideas of all three great leaders.
The BJP President said, “From the soil of Bihar, I express my gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the trust he has placed in me. I will strive to carry that trust forward.”
Addressing party workers, he said, “I have worked for a long time with the Yuva Morcha. I always say that politics is a long run. I repeat this again today. If we want to realise PM Modi’s dream and build the India envisioned by him, all of us must put in sincere effort during our time.”
Upon arrival in Patna, he was received by BJP State President Sanjay Saraogi and Deputy Chief Ministers Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha. Nitin Nabin visited the residence of Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan and paid floral tribute to his statue.
