Don’t be part-time worker like Rahul Gandhi: Nitin Nabin’s message to BJP cadre in Bihar

Nabin told the party workers: “…You must keep working hard. BJP has a very strong watchtower. It would identify and pick you from anywhere… I am thankful to the Central leadership, including PM Narendra Modi, for bestowing such an honour on a small party worker like me.”

Hailing the NDA’s 202-seat win in the Assembly polls, Nabin claimed “the process of punishing part-time politicians began in Bihar, and it shall continue in West Bengal and Kerala”.

“Our motto is to move beyond only thinking of winning the upcoming Assembly polls in West Bengal and other states. We have to unfurl ‘bhagwa (saffron)’ from panchayat to Parliament…..All of you should try to be full-time politicians unlike part-time politician Rahul Gandhi, who comes to Bihar during polls and goes to Germany for holidaying.”

Without mentioning RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, Nabin remarked that “there is another part-time politician in Bihar, too”, who failed to attend the recent state Assembly session and was “enjoying a trip abroad”.

He said the BJP workers should start preparing for local bodies and panchayat polls to register a strong presence of the party at the grassroots levels. Recalling his father, former BJP MLA and JP Movement leader Navin Kishore Sinha, he said: “I didn’t see much of my father’s hard work as a politician as I had been away for my studies, but when he died I saw how workers cried like a family. That is the power of being a committed worker in the BJP; the party treats good workers like a family.”

Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary said, “Nitin Nabin’s elevation is a huge honour to Bihar. It also shows how a common worker can be honoured by the party’s top leadership”. Saraogi described Nabin as a committed “sangathan purush (organisation man)”.
