BJP National President’s Himachal Pravas

BJP National President and Union Minister Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda laid the foundation stone of BJP District Office ‘Deepkamal’ in Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh on 06 March 2025. In his address, Shri Nadda said Congress has transformed into a family-driven party, while the BJP remains an ideologically driven party. In 2019, by abrogating Article 370, the BJP realised Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee’s vision and completely integrated Jammu and Kashmir into India. During the programme, Himachal Pradesh BJP President Dr. Rajeev Bindal, LoP in the Himachal Pradesh Assembly, Shri Jairam Thakur, state’s party In-Charge Shri Shrikant Sharma and other leaders were present on the occassion.

True democracy has been established

Shri Nadda, as karyakartas warmly celebrated the victory of Delhi, expressed heartfelt gratitude to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, particularly for honouring Hariman Sharma with the Padma Shri award, who belongs to Bilaspur district in Himachal. Before 2014, it was unimaginable for someone from a village to receive a Padma Shri or be recognized for extraordinary work. However, under the leadership of Shri Modi, true democracy has been established, empowering 140 crore citizens by acknowledging their contributions.

A ‘karyalay’ truly comes to life after 5 PM

Shri Nadda stated Himachal Pradesh has 17 districts, and 6 BJP offices have already been inaugurated. Today, Bilaspur has also joined that list, and a grand office will soon be built there. Shri Nadda emphasized the difference between ‘karyalay’ and ‘office,’ stating that an office operates from 10 AM to 5 PM, whereas a ‘karyalay’ truly comes to life after 5 PM when karyakartas engage in political activities beyond their daily routines.

Successfully abrogated Article 370

Shri Nadda highlighted that BJP is the only party whose leader, Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee, resigned from Nehru’s government and established the Bharatiya Jana Sangh. Dr. Mookerjee had conveyed that “Ek Desh Mein Do Nishan, Do Vidhan, Do Pradhan nahi chalenge.” The slogan was first raised in 1952, and despite multiple Congress governments, the BJP’s predecessor, Jana Sangh, remained committed to its demand. After decades of struggle, honouring Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee’s sacrifice, the historic moment came on August 6, 2019, when Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah presented a proposal in Parliament, leading to the abrogation of Article 370. The fight that began in 1952 was finally won in 2019. BJP, under Shri Narendra Modi’s leadership and Shri Amit Shah’s strategic vision, successfully abrogated Article 370.

PM Modi empowered all sections of society

BJP National President highlighted that Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyay introduced the concept of ‘Ekatma Manavvad’, which Late Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee later referred to as Antyodaya. Carrying this vision forward, PM Shri Narendra Modi has embraced the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas.’ Initiatives like Ayushman Bharat and the PM Gareeb Kalyan Anna Yojana have been launched to uplift villages, the poor, the marginalized, the distressed, the oppressed, Dalits, youth, and farmers. PM Shri Narendra Modi has empowered all the sections of society through his governance.
