KATHUA, Dec 25 : Addressing a meeting of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers here today, Chief spokesperson Dr Jitendra Singh said, "BJP is the only viable democratic option for self-respecting patriotic people, particularly in a State like Jammu & Kashmir, because here the other major national party, namely the Congress, has in its bid for power, yielded space to separatist-friendly regional parties. This makes the responsibility of a BJP "Karyakarta" all the more crucial because the entire nation looks up to him for holding aloft the tricolor of Indian sovereignty in J&K,he added.
Dr Jitendra Singh claimed, BJP is not controlled by any dynasty and It could choose a tea seller with a humble background as its Prime Ministerial candidate because,unlike several other parties, it is not a mother-son or father-son party. Modi has arrived as a lease of fresh air to liberate the masses suffering from suffocation of price rise, corruption and exploitation,he said.
On the occasion, several local youth joined the BJP.They were welcomed into the party fold by Dr Jitendra Singh along with Kathua District Vice President Prem Nath Dogra.Also present were District Gen Secretary Gopal Gupta,District Secretary Prof Shingari and BJYM office bearers Rajesh Mehta, Pankaj, Vikas Kath, Sweety Gupta, Ajeet Kundal,Angan Singh, Sonu Jamwal and several others. Earlier, speaking at another function held at BJP office here to celebrate the birthday of Atal Behari Vajpayee, Dr Jitendra Singh recalled, Vajpayee had poetically predicted the resurgence of "lotus",the party symbol of BJP, and said , "that moment of destiny has arrived". |
