JAMMU, Jan 21: “Besides being a political party, BJP is the national mission par excellence, as well”, said Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, senior BJP and Kashmiri Pandit leader and incharge Department of Political Affairs and Feedback, J&K-BJP. He was addressing a virtual conference of activists representing various facets of public activity and intellectual forums.
There has to be vision about the nation and the society with both short term and long term magnitudes for a political party with an intent of service. Votes, elections and power are means to achieve the mission of public welfare and national resurgence for material and spiritual growth and advancement of society. No political party can survive without a compact social base and an ideological spread, said Chrungoo.
He added, “We have seen Congress doing great things during the freedom struggle but it lost it’s way once the Congressmen monopolized power post Independence. They misused power to disengage the party from its connect with the national ethos, identity, civilization and character. In case a political party remains serving it’s own interests only, it is bound to eraze its base with it’s own hands. The difference between BJP and the other political parties is that the BJP has a very clear vision and mission in action at work and it has proved it’s worth by providing an alternative with a difference”.
The developments of August 5/6, 2019 are inspired by a National Mission of integration being pursued over the last 70 years consistently and with commitment. The demand by the Gupkar Alliance for reversal to the pre August 5 position is inspired by lust of power and re-establishment of family feudal politics in J & K with zero transparency and no accountability. The modern generations have to ensure that the political spectrum should not encourage the family feudal political parties in any case now.
Chrungoo further said, “Delimitation of Constituencies for the UT Assembly is the most important agenda for Jammu and Kashmir in the near future. BJP has promised all sections of people that their concerns will be addressed by it to the satisfaction of different sections of society. The bias and discrimination will have to end which inflicted political and economic injustice upon the society thus far. The Delimitation Commission is appealed to make its plans to visit Jammu and Kashmir soon and meet the stakeholders and people of the two regions here in order to address their concerns”.
