BJP marks 75 years of predecessor

BJP president Nitin Nabin addressed a programme on the seventy-fifth foundation day of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh on October twenty-first, twenty twenty-six in New Delhi.

Nabin calls for renewed commitment

Nabin urged the younger generation of party workers to draw inspiration from their predecessors and work towards fulfilling Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of Viksit Bharat, or developed India.

Jana Sangh's nationalist roots

The Jana Sangh was founded by leaders including Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee and Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya with the spirit of Nation First and Antyodaya, welfare of the people at the bottom of the pyramid.

Mookerjee's resignation over principles

Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee, despite being a Union Minister, resigned from the Cabinet because the government appeared influenced by Western and Leftist ideas and lacked commitment to nationalist thought.

“the government of that era appeared to be influenced by Western and Leftist ideas and did not demonstrate the required commitment towards nationalist thought and national interest”

Jana Sangh's record on national issues

The Bharatiya Jana Sangh consistently raised its voice on national interest, including the integration of Goa with India in nineteen sixty-one and protecting Hindu-majority regions in West Bengal.

Building the future BJP

Nabin told party workers to embrace new technologies and adapt to changing times while learning from their history, the struggles of predecessors, and their spirit of sacrifice.

“If the BJP of the future is to be built, the present generation must work with the same spirit of dedication and struggle”
