Rise of BJP decimated family-centric politics, says Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal

GUWAHATI: Before the inauguration of the new office complex of the state BJP in Guwahati, Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said that "the rise of the BJP decimated the family-centric selfish politics of Congress and has given rise to an alternative ideology".

He said, "We have always been inspired by the blessings and experience of the seniors in the party. The growing strength of the organization, along with the widespread popularity and acceptability of the party, is because of the contribution of the seniors to the party. They will forever be our source of inspiration towards service and commitment to nation building."

Sonowal said, "In the socio-cultural history of India, the rise of BJP has decimated the family-centric selfish politics of Congress and has given rise to an alternative ideology. Under the leadership of honourable Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji along with many other towering leaders of the party, this journey began in 1980. The journey from Bharatiya Jan Sangha to Bharatiya Janata Party saw many inspiring personalities like Syama Prasad Mukherjee, Deen Dayal Upadhyay, Atal Bihari Vajpayee whose sacrifice, hard work and pure patriotism led to its present destination. I pay my humble tribute to these finest leaders in this great nation-building effort. I also pay my deep respects to all those party workers whose untiring effort led to the growth of the party in Assam, and we shall forever be indebted to their dedication and commitment. With the help, support and love of the party workers, today, I have an opportunity to represent people. This is due to the sacrifice and earnest handwork put in by our party workers for the party."

Sonowal said, "We take immense pride to serve our nation through a party which believes in the supremacy of the nation. We are committed towards nation-building as it is our ideology. The dark days of violence and corruption, especially in the Northeast and Assam, during the Congress reign, is a harrowing time for all of us. However, this tide changed immediately after the BJP government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi took oath in 2014. The unflinching commitment and resolve of the Modi government have helped address long-standing and pressing issues in the region. With the sincere effort to bring peace and development to the region, the vision of making the Northeast the new engine of growth for the next phase of India's growth story is a fantastic opportunity for all of us. Under the strong leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji and the path shown by the party leader J P Nadda ji, the party has been able to win the hearts of the people of the Northeast along with the rest of India. We remain firmly committed to continuing to work towards nation building under the able leadership of PM Narendra Modi ji."

Sonowal also lauded the effort put in by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in bringing permanent peace to the region as it paves the way for growth and development in the region. He also appreciated how Assam has remained on the track of sustained development ever since BJP came to power.

The new building at Basistha will further strengthen the organizational efficiency of the party in the region. Sarbananda Sonowal also thanked the National Party president, JP Nadda and the Union Home Minister, Amit Shah for attending this auspicious occasion which gives tremendous encouragement to the party workers of the state, a press release said.
