46th Foundation Day Celebration of BJP in New Delhi
BJP National President & Union Minister Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda addressed party Karyakartas on the occasion of BJP’s 46th Foundation Day at the central office in New Delhi on 06 April 2025 and extended his heartfelt greetings to crores of BJP Karyakartas on the occasion of the Foundation Day and Shri Ram Navami. The program began with Shri Nadda hoisting the party flag, followed by floral tribute offered with reverence to the statues of Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee and Pt. Deendayal Upadhyaya. During the event, BJP National General Secretary (Organisation) Shri B.L. Santhosh, National General Secretaries Shri Dushyant Gautam, Shri Vinod Tawde, Shri Arun Singh, and Dr. Radha Mohan Das Agarwal, National Secretary Shri Anil K. Antony, Delhi Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta, BJP Delhi State President Shri Virendra Sachdeva and other senior leaders were also present on the occasion
BJP National President & Union Minister Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda stated that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has implemented the principles of Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee and Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya with the basic mantra of ‘Sabka Sath – Sabka Vikas’. Every BJP Karyakarta actively participates in this journey as part of a political movement dedicated to the reconstruction of the nation. This journey began in 1951 with the formation of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh. Considering the political landscape at the time, the movement later merged with the Janata Party for a brief period, and on 6th April 1980, reclaiming its ideological identity, it emerged as the Bharatiya Janata Party. This movement continued with the goal of establishing a new and alternative political culture. Recalling the emotional farewell to the Jana Sangh’s emblematic lamp, former Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee had expressed timeless words, and on 6th April, Shri Lal Krishna Advani brought together people driven by a shared ideology to call for the formation of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
BJP never compromised its ideology to attain power
Shri Nadda stated that the Bharatiya Janata Party has never wavered for the sake of votes, nor has it ever compromised its ideology to attain power. BJP is the only political party in India that has consistently remained steadfast in its ideological foundation. He recalled that between 22nd and 25th April 1965 in Mumbai, Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya had delivered a discourse on Ekatma Manav Darshan, based
Will continue serving society and
ensuring all-round development: PM Modi
Wishing every Karyakarta on the BJP Foundation Day (06 April), the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in a social media post said, “Greetings to all @BJP4India Karyakartas on the Party’s Sthapana Diwas. We recall all those who devoted themselves to strengthening our Party over the last several decades. This important day makes us reiterate our unparalleled commitment to work towards India’s progress and realise the dream of a Viksit Bharat.
The people of India are seeing the good governance agenda of our Party, which is also reflected in the historic mandates we’ve received in the years gone by, be it in the Lok Sabha elections, Assembly elections across different states and various local body polls across the nation. Our governments will continue serving society and ensuring all-round development.
My best wishes to all our hardworking Karyakartas, the backbone of our Party, as they actively work on the ground and elaborate on our good governance agenda. I am proud of the manner in which our Karyakartas are working round the clock, in every part of the nation and serving the poor, downtrodden as well as marginalised. Their energy and enthusiasm are truly motivating”.

the society: Rajnath Singh

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi BJP has become the pivot of Indian politics today. BJP is a party that takes along all sections of the society and is dedicated to the development and welfare of all. Whether it is the central government or its state governments, this is fully reflected in the functioning of all.BJP is the only party in India today that is working as a representative of the aspirations of the poor, Dalits, deprived and exploited sections of the society. BJP is the only party that knows how to coordinate between national aspirations as well as regional aspirations.

Continue to work towards building a developed India: Amit Shah
In a post on ‘X’, Union Home and Cooperation Minister Shri Amit Shah said, “Hearty congratulations to all the Karyakartas on the foundation day of the world’s largest political organization, Bharatiya Janata Party.On this occasion, I salute all those great men who sowed the seeds of patriotism in the foundation of BJP and worked to create a banyan tree of crores of patriots.
Under the leadership of Modi Ji, BJP will continue to work towards building a developed India in every field #BJP4ViksitBharat.”
on draft adopted in the Jan Sangh’s Vijayvada session, the principle of Integral Humanism was formally adopted. Though the ideology was mocked at the time—particularly by those viewing politics through the lens of Karl Marx—for them, the ideas of integration and inclusivity were unimaginable. While the Congress party gradually slipped into ideological decay, the Bharatiya Janata Party carried forward the legacy of Ekatma Manavvad. When Janata Party governments were formed in various states, the philosophy’s roots were further strengthened through the principle of Antyodaya—upliftment of the last person in the queue. Building upon this vision, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has followed the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas.’
‘Ek desh mein do nishan, do vidhan, do pradhan nahi chalenge’
Shri Nadda said the shining crown we see today as the Bharatiya Janata Party stands firmly on the strong ideological foundation laid by great stalwarts such as Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee, Pt. Deendayal Upadhyaya, Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Shri Kushabhau Thakre, and Shri Jagannathrao Joshi. He recalled that Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee had resigned from Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru’s cabinet in 1948 and in 1951, the journey of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh began, and in 1953, he launched a nationwide Satyagraha with the slogan— ‘Ek desh mein do nishan, do vidhan, do pradhan nahi chalenge.’ Dr. Mookerjee attained martyrdom in suspicious circumstances while imprisoned in Srinagar. His revered mother had written to Pt. Nehru demanded a
BJP National President reaches the residence of Shakuntala Arya ji in Delhi & hoists the BJP flag
BJP National President Shri JP Nadda after visiting the house of Shakuntala Arya ji in Delhi said, “On the occasion of the foundation day of the Bharatiya Janata Party, today I reached the residence of the former Mayor of Delhi, Mrs. Shakuntala Arya ji at booth number 78 of Lajpat Nagar Mandal, hoisted the BJP flag and had a cordial meeting with her and enquired about her well-being. Mrs. Shakuntala ji’s contribution in establishing new dimensions of public welfare and development in Delhi is significant. Your spirit of public service and struggle for the party is an inspiration for all of us. It is the result of the dedication and hard work of our senior leaders that BJP is recognized as the most popular and ideal political organization among the people
probe into his death, but Nehru coldly disregarded the plea. This betrayal sparked a wave of anger among thousands of Jana Sangh Karyakartas, who resolved to carry forward the struggle for national integrity. Decades later, on 6th August 2019, this historic battle culminated in victory when, under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and the strategic direction of Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah, the BJP government abrogated Article 370—thus fulfilling the dream and sacrifice of Dr. Mookerjee and generations of nationalist Karyakartas.
Hindu population in Pakistan declined from 22 percent to merely 1.8 percent
Shri Nadda stated that an agreement was once made between Jawaharlal Nehru and Liaquat Ali to ensure the protection of Muslims in India and Hindus in Pakistan. However, while that understanding existed, the Hindu population in Pakistan declined from 22 percent to merely 1.8 percent. These people were politically persecuted, and those who came to India due to such persecution were granted citizenship by the BJP government. In all Muslim-majority countries, Waqf Boards are run by their respective governments. The BJP government, instead of bringing Waqf Boards directly under government administration, is only bringing them within the framework of legal regulations. The government will ensure that the properties and income of Waqf Boards are used for the education and upliftment of the Muslim community. The BJP has taken the country out of authoritarianism. Today, Rajpath has become Kartavya Path, a statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose has been installed there, and remnants of colonial legacy have been removed from the Indian Navy’s flag. The consistent effort of the BJP has been to promote and preserve Indian culture.
BJP is a party driven by ideology
BJP National President Shri Nadda said that the Bharatiya Janata Party is a party driven by ideology. Today, the BJP has 240 Members of Parliament in the Lok Sabha, over 98 Members in the Rajya Sabha, and more than 1,600 MLAs. The BJP has its own government in 13 states and NDA-led governments in 7 others. With the contribution of millions of dedicated workers, the BJP has become a widely followed party based on ideology. Today, over 13.5 crore people are associated with the BJP. There are more than 10 lakh active party Karyakartas, and BJP has booth presidents at 6 lakh booths across the country. In Gujarat, the BJP is in government for the sixth consecutive term; in Goa and Haryana, for the third term; in Madhya Pradesh, for the fourth term; and in states like Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttarakhand, Tripura, Manipur, and Assam, the BJP is in government for the second term. After 27 years, the BJP has now also formed government in Delhi. The Bharatiya Janata Party is the only party that has progressed in a scientific manner. Winning elections and strengthening the organization is also a science. Advancing with ideological firmness without any compromise is the resolve of the BJP. Under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, the BJP has worked with concern for the poor, the oppressed, the underprivileged, the youth, and women—through initiatives such as the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana, Ayushman Bharat, the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, and the Ujjwala Yojana. That is why it is essential for every BJP Karyakarta to study and understand the lives and contributions of Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee, Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay, and all those leaders who laid the foundation of the party. The responsibility of the Bharatiya Janata Party is to build a developed India by 2047, and for that, every Karyakarta must work with dedication and strength.
Every BJP leader and Karyakarta will reach out to 5 lakh booths
Shri Nadda said that from April 07 to April 13, every BJP leader and Karyakarta will reach out to 5 lakh booths and visit 1 lakh settlements to spread the message of the Bharatiya Janata Party. On the occasion of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar’s birth anniversary, Constitution Glory Day will also be observed from April 14 to 25, during which the contributions of Babasaheb to the making of the Constitution will be highlighted. The BJP will also expose the way Congress has struck at the soul of the Constitution. Shri Nadda urged BJP karyakartas to find and visit the founding members of Jan Sangh and BJP during their booth visits. He shared that in Delhi, he himself would be meeting a 98-year-old Jan Sangh worker. BJP National President Shri Nadda once again extended his best wishes on the occasion of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Foundation Day.
