| Gujarat Is BJP's Laboratory For Governance Experiments: JP Nadda | | |  agencies
GANDHINAGAR, Apr 29: BJP president J P Nadda on Friday said Gujarat is a "laboratory" for his party for the matters pertaining to governance and party organisation.
Nadda, who is on a day's visit to the state, also claimed that the BJP is the only true national party in the country now as Congress has become a party of "brother and sister" and regional parties have become family fiefdoms.
"Gujarat is a laboratory of governance and party organisation (for the BJP). We will implement this model across the country. As a party chief, it is also my responsibility to take ahead this model," he told reporters during a press conference here.
Successful "experiments" to develop the party and make it a "medium of change" were carried out in Gujarat when Narendra Modi was a party office-bearer and later chief minister, he added.
"Modi ji created a development model in Gujarat. At the national level, we are now seeing the reflection of that experiment carried out in Gujarat by Modi as chief minister," said Mr Nadda.
The sudden change of guard effected by the party last year in the state when chief minister Vijay Rupani and his cabinet resigned and a new government under Bhupendra Patel's leadership replaced it was also an "experiment" carried out as part of the party's strategy, he said.
Notably, Assembly elections are due in the BJP-ruled state in December this year.
"See, it's a laboratory. Otherwise which party would have dared to do that (replace the entire cabinet). It was part of our strategy and it can not be discussed in public. Let us decide what experiment is needed for what purpose," said Mr Nadda when asked about the reason for the Rupani cabinet's exit in September 2021.
The party has changed the political culture in India as prime minister PM Modi's politics based on development has given a tough fight to the politics based on caste, community and region as well as dynastic politics, the BJP chief said.
Asked about Union minister Nitin Gadkari's recent remark that there was a need for a "strong opposition", he said it is the responsibility of opposition parties to become stronger.
Earlier, addressing party workers at the Ahmedabad airport upon arrival, Mr Nadda said any party which wants to compete with the BJP will need to work hard for at least 50-60 years to be a worthy opponent.
