Dr. Jitendra Singh, while addressing the gathering, said that the present alliance with PDP was aimed to provide Good Governance for the speedy development of the J&K State. BJP has not compromised on its ideology, it still steadfast to it. The alliance was the responsibility of the BJP and the PDP as both the parties were trusted by the masses and gave mandate in their favour to form the government while entering into an alliance with common minimum programme. There was no option for the National Conference and the Congress but to sit in the opposition as they were rejected by the people for their misdeeds and anti-people policies, while in the government. He stressed upon the workers of the party and those who support the party not to be defensive on this account.
Dr. Jitendra Singh said that at present the BJP is ruling in sixteen states as the people of the country have expressed their trust on the part that is pursuing the agenda of development. In some of the states like Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, the party has won the confidence of the people three times, defying the incumbency theory. Party does not believe in polarization politics on the basis of caste, creed and religion but works on the ideology of “Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas”. The people of the country have realized that the party stands for welfare of all the sections of the society in particular of the neglected, down trodden and poor. That is why its vote percentage is increasing day by day. He asked the state unit of the party to impress on the state government for the implementation of GST in the state.
He also said that present era belongs to the youth as they constitute 60 percent population of the country and all the programmes should be youth centred. He named the various welfare schemes launched by the present government at the centre under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He added that demonetization was the bold step taken by the present government and inspite of the hardships faced by the common people, they trusted honesty and sincerity of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and voted in favour of the BJP in the recent held assembly elections.
