BJP National President and Union Minister Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda, addressed a public meeting “Janadesh Parv” in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, on 13 December 2024. Following this, Shri Nadda inaugurated the newly constructed state BJP office, “Smriti Bhavan.” Commending the Vishnu Deo Sai government for successfully completing one year of BJP governance in Chhattisgarh under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Shri Nadda highlighted various developmental initiatives. He assured that the government is actively addressing public concerns and is committed to propelling the state towards greater progress in the coming years. During the event, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai, Deputy CMs Shri Arun Sao, Shri Vijay Sharma, BJP National Vice President Smt. Saroj Pandey, Sushri Lata Usendi, among other prominent leaders were present.
Subsequently, while inaugurating the state BJP office, Smriti Bhavan, Shri Nadda extended his congratulations to the Chhattisgarh BJP unit. Shri Nadda paid homage to the visionary leaders and founders of the Jan Sangh, including Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee, Pt. Deendayal Upadhyaya, reverend Kushabhau Thakre, Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia, and Bharat Ratna former Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, along with other distinguished party leaders.
Shri JP Nadda said one year ago, under the leadership of Shri Vishnu Deo Sai, the BJP government was formed in Chhattisgarh. This moment of celebration brings everyone together to highlight the progress made under the BJP-led government. The Bharatiya Janata Party has fulfilled its promises, and the public should evaluate the leaders they elected, reflecting on the benefits of their leadership and considering what might have happened if different leaders had been chosen.
Implemented PM Gramin Awas Yojana
BJP National President pointed out that the true joy of light is experienced only when one has known the tragedy of darkness. Five years ago, in Chhattisgarh, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi promised that after Congress’s victory, women would immediately receive 72,000. However, this promise was never fulfilled, and the state remained in darkness for five years.
In contrast, after becoming Chief Minister, Shri Vishnu Deo Sai implemented the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awas Yojana in the first cabinet meeting and prepared to disburse the first installment of the Mahatari Vandan Yojana. This is the difference, the contrast between darkness and light. This is not merely about schemes; it’s about intentions. The Bharatiya Janata Party’s intentions, policies, and programs are wholeheartedly dedicated to serving the people of Chhattisgarh.
He said the BJP comes to power to use it for public service, whereas the Congress seeks power for personal gain. The key difference between the BJP and Congress is that the BJP uses power to benefit the people, while Congress exploits it for their own interests. The BJP is willing to sacrifice for the people, while Congress deceives the public to fill their own pockets. This difference must be understood.
BJP is committed to serving the people
BJP National President stated that the Bharatiya Janata Party government is pro-active, pro-responsive, pro-responsible, and focused on pro-development. The BJP practices accountable politics, using its power to serve the public. The BJP is committed to serving the people, while the Congress party seeks to take away people’s rights for its own benefit. We are here to serve, while they exploit. The people of Chhattisgarh must make sure to “give rest to the Congress party and
Highlights
• The Congress government under Bhupesh Baghel was characterized by corruption, commission-based practices, criminalization, appeasement, vote-bank politics and the ‘divide and rule’ strategy.
• Congress is a parasitic Family-driven party, which can no longer survive in India.
• The people have rejected the politics of casteism, dynastic rule and appeasement. We witnessed a stark example of this in Maharashtra
• Congress presents itself as a national party, yet it is compromising national interests in its pursuit of power
• Organizations such as OCCRP, FDL-AP and Open Society spread false narratives to destabilize the country.
• The anti-India George Soros and Sonia Gandhi, who funds these organizations, are linked
• George Soros openly funds initiatives aimed at creating instability in India.
• Before every parliamentary session, anti-national forces spread false narratives to tarnish the country’s image and damage its economy, and Rahul Gandhi uses this as a pretext to disrupt Parliament
• Entire country wants to understand the connection between George Soros, Rahul Gandhi, and Sonia Gandhi
empower the BJP to work.” The BJP is committed to the development of villages, the poor, the marginalized, the oppressed, Dalits, youth, and farmers. This is why, under the Krishi Unnati Yojana, nearly 24.75 lakh people are being given Rs. 3,100 for paddy procurement. Similarly, the farmers’ rightful dues of Rs. 3,716 crore, which were misappropriated by Bhupesh Baghel, are now being given to the farmers. Free electricity for irrigation is being provided to the Dalit and Adivasi brothers.
Shri Nadda pointed out that the payment for Tendu Patta, received by 14 lakh tribal individuals, has been increased by Rs 5,500 per sack. Congress party members are misleading the public by claiming that the Mahatari Vandan Yojana will be discontinued, but the BJP assures that the Yojana will continue. While the Mahatari Vandan Yojana will remain, Congress’s future will be uncertain. The Chhattisgarh Public Service Commission has introduced a transparent exam system for youth seeking jobs. The BJP government is taking action against those involved in corruption under Bhupesh Baghel’s leadership. Additionally, applications are being invited for 7,000 new jobs with a 5-year age relaxation. A sum of Rs. 2044 crore has been allocated for the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana for the poor, with approval granted for rural housing for 18 lakh individuals.
Earlier, travelling after 4 PM in Chhattisgarh was considered dangerous
BJP National President said earlier, travelling after 4 PM in Chhattisgarh was considered dangerous due to Naxalism in the state, but now, within 1 year after the formation of the BJP government in the state, Naxalism has been given a befitting reply under the leadership of Shri Vishnu Deo Sai. More than 1500 Naxals have been either arrested or have surrendered. 222 Naxals have been killed, thanks to our security forces, CRPF, and Chhattisgarh police for eliminating Naxalism in the state.
Shri Nadda praised the people of Chhattisgarh for the decision they made a year ago when they removed the corrupt Congress government and brought the BJP to power with the slogan “Ab Na Sahibo, Badal Ke Rahibo.” Now, the BJP is rapidly taking Chhattisgarh forward on the path of development.
