BJP’s ideology is consistent, other parties are like pendulums: Nadda

At an interaction with students of the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIMA), Nadda said, “As we formed the government, we developed the principle of ‘sabka saath, sabka vikas, sabka vishwas, sabka prayaas‘…We have to improve the condition of the villages, the poor, the exploited, the deprived, the Dalits…but, those who have prospered, their contribution has to be taken as well and even they have to progress.  According to Nadda, the BJP was “governing 57 % of the population of India and 58% of the country  (by geography)” as it ruled in 13 states and as part of the NDA government in 18 others. “Congress party never holds (internal) elections, while in ours, it is done democratically,” said Nadda.

He told the IIM students that while they had got into the prestigious institution because of their brains, capabilities and “the grace of God”, it is not a right but a privilege, which they would have to “return to the society by positively contributing” to it. Nadda said that the BJP was a party whose ideology was consistent even though its strategies changed from time to time.

“If you talk about other political parties, they are like pendulums. Sometimes they become rightist forces, sometimes leftist forces, sometimes more left of centre…but it is the BJP(which) right from the 1950s …we have believed in Ekatma Manavvaad (Integral Humanism).”
