SALIENT POINTS OF THE BJP NATIONAL PRESIDENT SHRI JAGAT PRAKASH NADDA JI GIVEN AT A SEMINAR ON "THREAT TO DEMOCRACY BY DYNASTY BASED POLITICAL PARTIES" IN NEW DELHI

The only goal of dynasty-run political parties like the Congress party and other regional political parties is to grab power by hook or crook and then misuse power to benefit their own family members.

*****************

The Bharatiya Janata Party is not at all affected by the ideology-less political parties, but the nation is losing and our democracy is under threat due to these dynasty -based political parties. For the Bharatiya Janata Party nation is the topmost priority. For a healthy democracy our nation needs healthy democratic parties.

*****************

Barring the Bharatiya Janata Party almost all political parties are affected by the problem of dynasty politics and nepotism. These parties have no aim, no vision. These parties have no vision of growth and development, they have no policy or ideology. Since they have no ideology or principles, that is why their programmes are directionless.

*****************

Our Constitution clearly states that one cannot discrimination on the basis of birth which is unconstitutional and illegal. But in these dynasty-run political parties only the son or daughter of  the family running the party becomes president. This autocratic system is a big threat to Indian democracy.

*****************

The Indian National Congress party is no longer Indian nor it is nationalist. From the very beginning it is a party of one family and now it has been reduced to a brother-sister party.

*****************

During the Emergency era of 1975 and the then Congress party President announcement that "India is Indira and Indira and India", which is a clear proof that the soul of the Congress party died long back. It is no longer a live and democratic party.

 *****************

Dynasty-run political parties plays the politics of appeasement of votebank and runs programmes for them which is against the country and society. During its rule in the past 60 years the Congress party always put national matters first by completing ignoring and sidelining issues of development of states and of regional aspirations.

*****************

The Bharatiya Janata Party believes that the Centre should be strong and the regional aspirations should also be acknowledged and respected, and that states should play important role in meeting the national goals. It is the policies of the Congress party which led to spurt of regional and state specific political outfits.

*****************

To come to power the dynasty run political parties bank upon politics of casteism and religion  besides politics of polarisation.

*****************

There is no need to worry about dynasty- run political parties because the vote bank of such parties shrinks very fast. It is only political parties which sticks to its ideology and principles survive in the long run. Ultimately all dynasty run political parties will cease to exist and the Bharatiya Janata Party will continue to survive and win hearts of the people of the country.

*****************

It is only in the Bharatiya Janata Party that Shri Narendra Modi ji, who comes from a very humble background and middle class family, becomes the Prime Minister of our country and a person like me who belongs to a very ordinary family becomes the President of the world's largest political organization. This showcases the strength of internal democracy that thrives in the Bharatiya Janata Party.

*****************

The Bharatiya Janata Party has always stood firmly on its ideology and principles. The BJP is an ideology based party and it will always continue to grow. The Bharatiya Janata Party has never compromised on its ideology and principles even in its toughest phase.

*****************

In Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha the Congress party opposed the scrapping of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir. It was due to the strong political commitment of our Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji and planning and execution of Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah that the Article 370 was demolished and the integration of Jammu and Kashmir with the national mainstream was made a reality.
