HYDERABAD: The BJP will go back to its basic political and economic philosophy propounded by Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya with an aim to regain power in 2014 when the general election is due. The three-day fast organised by BJP secretary P Muralidhar Rao, which concluded here on Friday, was the beginning of implementing the Upadhyaya’s philosophy to woo artisans and weaker sections in the country.
BJP president Nitin Gadkari, who addressed the concluding meeting at fast camp, said: “Deendayal Upadhyaya said that the last man in the society too should get food, shelter and clothes. Then only can our dream to see a developed India be realised.”
Stressing the need for implementation of the principle of Antyodaya, which stands for eradication of poverty and provision of basic needs of every family, Gadkari said only Antyodaya could correct the current imbalances in the country.
By chanting the Antyodaya of Uapadhyaya, Gadkari also recalled Mahatma Gandhi’s words that development of the country was possible only with the development of villages.
“Gandhi wanted maximum production employing maximum number of persons. But Jawaharlal Nehru pressed for maximum production ignoring the employment aspect,” Gadkari said while rejecting the Nehruvian model of economy.
“I am congratulating Muralidhara Rao on undertaking a three-day fast for the betterment of weavers. This is just a trailer. The full movie will be released soon,” Gadkari said, while indicating that Upadhyaya’s philosophy would be the guiding force for the BJP.
“Do not make rounds to Delhi to get party tickets. BJP is not here to see a particular person as MP, PM or CM. It is here to bring about a change in society. Go to the poor and work for them. Then only will the party recognise you,” he told party leaders.
Asserting that the NDA would regain power in 2014, Gadkari wanted the people of state to choose between the UPA and the NDA.
“There are only two forces in national politics _ UPA and NDA. You decide whether you will support the corrupt Congress or dynamic BJP,” Gadkari said and alleged that the Congress had been looting the country and even Hyderabad was not spared.
Muralidhar Rao said that his fast for weavers was just a beginning and it would be continued in future to implement Deendayal’s Antyodaya. “BJP is dedicated to the welfare of weaker sections and artisans,” he added.
Sometime back, Gadkari had attended a programme organised by Muralidhar Rao in Visakhapatnam on fishermen. The current three-day fast for weavers was a success as a large number of weavers and others thronged the venue on the concluding day.
Several senior BJP leaders including Nirmala Sitaraman, Parliament member Balbir Punj, vice-president Purushottam Rupala, senior leaders Bandaru Dattatreya and K Laxman, state unit president G Kishan Reddy, Tamil Nadu unit president Ponnu Radhakrishnan, and Samata Party leader Jaya Jaitely were present.
