"Every party worker, considering it a divine work,hascontributed to building the party. Under the leadership of Prime Minister NarendraModiour ideals, goals, work methods, and thinking are all based on nationalism. In the global political landscape, when most political parties were focused on self-interest and power, we were faced with the question of the direction of politics," the chief minister said.He argued that after independence, India faced the challenge ofdeterminingits goals and political direction, amidst the two currents of communism on one hand and capitalism on the other."In this context, the BJPchose the path of patriotism and dedication. Many people even mocked us, but we ignored them. Respecting their sentiments, weremainedsteadfast in Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya's belief that our nation cannot be limited to mere material development," Yadav said.Withopposition Congress attacking the govt on farmer issues and the alleged delay in wheat acquisition, the chief minister said, "Ourgovt in Madhya Pradesh is continuously working in theinterestof farmers. During the Congress regime, the state had 7.5 lakh hectares of irrigatedland, which has now increased to 5.5 lakh hectares. Before 2003, during the Congress rule inthe state, wheat waspurchasedonly nominally at the support price. Under the leadership of Prime MinisterNarendra Modi,the BJP govt in the statewill begin wheat procurement at Rs 2625 per quintal from April 10. It is our commitment thatthe govt will first purchase wheat from small farmers."StateBJP president Hemant Khandelwal said that April 6 is not just the party's foundation day, but a celebration of the hard work, sacrifice, and determination of its workers."BJPis not a party of power, but an organization on a journey of ideas and faith.The seeds of our ideology and organization for nation-building, sown by the revered Shyama Prasad Mukherjee under adverse circumstances, were furthered by Pt Deendayal Upadhyay, the reveredKushabhauThakre, and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee," Khandelwal said."Today, Prime MinisterNarendra Modi, UnionhomeministerAmit Shah, and the top leadership, including national president Nitin Naveen are continuously working to advance the organization's work. The party's ideology, as it existed in 1952, hasremainedunchanged. In 1985, we held only two seats. However, our vision in 1952—theabrogationof Article 370 fromJammu and Kashmir, the construction of theRam Temple in Ayodhya, and the enactment of a law against triple talaq—has never wavered," Khandelwalargued.
