Rajnath stresses on credibility in political life – Daily Pioneer

Stressing on the importance of credibility in political life, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that every word a leader spoke carried a weight and it was his responsibility to fulfill that promise because this gave credibility to the person and the party to which he belonged.

"Bharatiya Janata Party has emerged as a people's party because it has credibility. In our earlier election manifestos we used to talk about abolition of Article 370. People used to chide us when the BJP government will abolish this Article. When we got an opportunity we repealed Article 370 and brought Jammu and Kashmir at par with other states of the country," Singh said while inaugurating the one-day BJP state working committee meeting here on Monday.

Singh said, "The BJP had always talked about the ills of the triple talaq system and we abolished it. Similarly, we promised construction of Ram temple at Ayodhya and Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation of the temple last year. It is a coincidence that when the (Babri) Mosque was demolished BJP was in power and when construction of the temple started, BJP again was in power in Uttar Pradesh," he said.

"People now know that what the BJP says, it fulfills its promise. This is the credibility which the party has earned in the last many decades of hard work and now responsibility is on the young party leaders to carry that mantle forward," he said.

In his over an hour long speech, Rajnath Singh talked about the importance of being a BJP worker.

"The BJP is different from other parties as in BJP hard work is always appreciated. It is the only party in which the stature of a leader is not because of the post he/she is holding but because of the hard work he/she has put in. The BJP increased its base through Ram Janmabhoomi agitation and since then it is growing in stature and volume," said Singh, who is also the former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh.

He said the BJP was the only party which had an ideology. He said this ideology had prevented divisions in the party while other political parties had seen divisions one after another.

Elaborating on this ideology, Singh said that serving humanity formed the core of BJP's ideology and its manifestation was witnessed during COVID-19 pandemic when both the Central and the state governments joined hands to provide relief to the poor. "Free food grains were distributed so that no one had to sleep empty stomach," he pointed out.

"Our scientists did wonder when they manufactured vaccines to fight the novel coronavirus. Now, we are supplying vaccines to 70 countries. India has been globally appreciated for its role in providing Covid vaccines to the world. Even US President Joe Biden appreciated India in a recent Quad meeting," he said and added that when India was giving vaccines to other countries at a price, the countrymen were getting it free.

Singh said the BJP government had worked hard to eradicate corruption and had introduced cleanliness in public life.

"The Swachhata Abhiyan has even been lauded by the WHO (World Health Organisation) by saying that the health scenario has changed in India because of the cleanliness drive undertaken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi," Singh said.

Singh also hailed the Yogi Adityanath government, saying there was tremendous improvement in the law and order situation while the unemployment figures had come down from 17.5 per cent to 4.5 per cent.

BJP State President Swatantra Dev Singh also spoke on this occasion.

Earlier, the one-day BJP state working committee meeting was inaugurated by Rajnath Singh along with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath by lighting the traditional lamp.
