"The political goal of the BJP is not the pleasure of power but to serve the people through power," he said and emphasized the importance of consistent effort and teamwork in ensuring the success of the party's programmes. He said under the Seva Pakhwada, events like blood donation camps, marathon races, exhibitions, health camps, equipment distribution for disabled people, etc. would be organised.
"The youth are the backbone of the nation, and we must empower them through every program and event organized by the Morcha," Gopal said.

He outlined duties for each member, stressing the importance of planning, coordination, and maximum outreach for events like the blood donation camp, the marathon, and the initiative "Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam." He urged members to actively engage the community and contribute to making each initiative meaningful and impactful.
"All Morchas have their importance, but the Yuva Morcha is crucial. With 60% of the population being youth, it is essential to take every event seriously and ensure active participation. Modi Ji's vision for youth engagement guides us, and we must execute it with dedication," he said.
