Bharatiya Janata Party National President and Union Minister Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda on Saturday performed the bhoomi pujan and foundation stone laying of the BJP state office in Himachal Pradesh and participated in the felicitation ceremony.
Nadda highlighted the BJP’s clear, ideological, and result-oriented politics focused on the development of Himachal Pradesh and the country and described Bihar’s historic victory as a symbol of the people’s unwavering faith in the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji. With reference to Himachal Pradesh, he mentioned the thousands of crores of assistance provided by the Centre and major infrastructure, health, education, and connectivity projects, while accusing the Congress government of misuse of funds, inefficiency, and mismanagement.
The BJP National President said that a “double-engine government” is essential for development and that Himachal Pradesh once again needs stable, honest, and development-oriented leadership. During the programme, BJP National Vice President Shri Saudan Singh, State In-charge Shri Shrikant Sharma, Co-in-charge Shri Sanjay Tandon, BJP State President Shri Rajeev Bindal, MP Shri Anurag Thakur, Shri Suresh Kashyap, and Leader of the Opposition in Himachal Pradesh Shri Jairam Thakur, along with other office-bearers and leaders, were present.
Nadda highlighted that he feels fortunate to have come today, after a long interval, to his karmabhoomi Himachal, the sacred land from where his public and political life began, and said that all those present welcomed him and his colleagues with joy, enthusiasm, and energy, for which he expressed heartfelt thanks both personally and on behalf of the party’s workers. The BJP National President especially expressed gratitude to the people for the historic and record-breaking victory in Bihar, through which the Bharatiya Janata Party and Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji were felicitated, stating that this victory symbolizes the people of Bihar’s unwavering faith in Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji and their resolve to move the country forward under his leadership, a trust reaffirmed by the election results. He particularly thanked mothers, sisters, youth, farmers, hardworking laborers, and all sections of society and said that this victory not only reflects Bihar fulfilling its aspirations but also shows that Bihar has rejected those who sought to obstruct the progress of the nation and the state and wanted to rely on infiltrators.
The BJP National President remarked that today a debate has arisen in the country about under whose leadership the nation should move forward, whether the country should run only on the support of infiltrators or on the support of those who are patriotic and who work day and night to take the nation forward. Bihar has given a clear message that those who do not want to take the country and the state on the path of real development will be shown the way out. Shri Nadda stated that his previous speakers tried to clearly highlight the difference between the work done for Himachal and the efforts being made by the present Congress government. When the last Himachal election was taking place, he had appealed to the public that politics is never like a flatbread that can be turned over on the griddle again and again; the purpose of politics is to remain stable for a long time and take development forward, and decisions should be made with this understanding. Today, Himachal’s development is based on the principle of a “double-engine government.” If one engine of the government does not function, the vehicle of development cannot move forward. This is not being said because there is a government of the opposition party, but because the BJP, under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, wants to take Himachal in a direction of stable and continuous development, whereas the Congress only wants to enjoy power. This is why other kinds of governments have not been able to sustain Himachal’s development. This is not merely a political speech but a message to the people of Himachal about stability, development, and the security of the future.
