Other parties run on nepotism, casteism; BJP runs on love for motherland: Amit Shah on new BJP chief

New Delhi:

Union minister Amit Shah took a dig at the Congress as he congratulated newly elected Bharatiya Janata Party chief JP Nadda. Amit Shah, who was speaking at BJP headquarters in Delhi said that unlike other parties that make family members chiefs, the BJP gives a chance to experienced members. “Following the BJP’s tradition, JP Nadda, who started his career as a ground worker of the party has become the national president,” Amit Shah said. Many other parties in the country have lost their democratic form. In this, there is a competition to make his family as the chairman and chief minister. BJP is the only party that does not run on nepotism,” he added.

Amit Shah said that in BJP even an ordinary worker can rise in rank and become party chief.”The BJP stands apart in India because it does not function on casteism or nepotism. If you look at other parties, every party is family-based and is promoting their own people. Only BJP promotes every worker based on sheer quality and love for motherland,” Shah said. Speaking about his tenure as BJP chief, Amit Shah said that while he may have made some mistakes, he was given support and blessings by all BJP workers.

He said any work that was has been left in his tenure will be completed under JP Nadda. JP Nadda has become our national president. We are ready to take the BJP to new heights under his leadership,” Amit Shah said. JP Nadda took over as the new party president on Monday after he emerged as the only candidate for the top post following the conclusion of nomination process at its headquarters here. Nadda, who was appointed as BJP’s working president last June, took from Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who was at a helm for eventful five-and-a-half years during which the party won its biggest majority in 2019 Lok Sabha election and expanded its footprint across the country. Nadda’s name was proposed by the top party leaders, including Union ministers Shah, Rajnath Singh and Nitin Gadkari, besides several chief ministers during the nomination process.
