BJP victory in J&K a tribute to martyrdom of Jan Sangh founding president: Shah

BANGALORE:
Asserting that the victory for the BJP in Jammu and Kashmir as the feather in the cap of the party which is much more that the victories stored in the states like Maharashtra, Haryana and Jharkand, BJP President Amit Shah today said that it viewed this victory as a humble tribute to the martyrdom of Jana Sangh’s founding president Shyama Prasad Mukherjee.
Making a special reference to the victory of its candidates in J&K in the recently concluded assembly elections, Mr Shah said the BJP had derived ‘special pride’ in  the J&K victory and joining the coalition in that State for the first time after Independence.
While the opponents were seeking to mislead the people on this development but one must realise that this is the dawn of a new era for all inclusive development in the State. Mr Shah assured the people through the executive that the coalition will strengthen nationalist forces, the unity and integrity of the country. ”For the BJP, the sense of security and integrity of the country was more valuable than the Government or positions of power,” he added.
Touching upon the Delhi assembly results where Aam Admi Party led by Aravind Kejriwal has secured a resounding victory in the hustings, Mr Shah noted that it was a Government which had rode to power promising Jan Lokpal to the people. However on assuming office in the national capital, the first thing they had done was to ease out AAP Lokpal along with several founder members.   (AGENCIES)
