State President and Member of Parliament Deepak Prakash, former State President Dr. Dineshanand Goswami, and State General Secretary Dr. Pradeep Verma warmly welcomed the new members on stage, presenting them with the party’s flag as a symbol of affiliation.

State Minister and Jamshedpur Mahanagar in-charge Subodh Singh Guddu officially obtained his party membership by registering online through the toll-free number provided by the party. The process was facilitated by state media in-charge Shivpujan Pathak, while Jamshedpur Metropolitan Vice President Babua Singh expressed gratitude on behalf of the gathering.

During his address, State President and MP Deepak Prakash emphasized that the BJP is not a party limited to any specific family but rather a party driven by a collective vision for the welfare of all. He highlighted the party’s ethos of cultural nationalism, wherein all religions are regarded as equal. Expressing his appreciation for retired police officer Rajeev Ranjan Singh, Prakash acknowledged his dedicated service during his tenure and expressed confidence in his future endeavors in social and political life.

Prakash underscored that for the BJP, politics serves as a means of social service, with the ultimate goal of elevating Bharat Mata (Mother India) to the status of Vishwaguru (World Leader). He highlighted the party’s commitment to inclusive development, which encompasses villages, the poor, farmers, tribals, Dalits, women, the backward classes, and youth. Prakash emphasized the significant progress achieved over the past nine years in terms of infrastructure development and the strengthening of India’s economy. He commended India’s commendable contributions during the challenging period of the COVID-19 pandemic, earning recognition not only within the country but globally as well.

Prakash emphasized the historic milestones achieved by the Modi government, including the revocation of Article 370 and the construction of the grand Ram temple, which further reinforced the party’s ideological principles. He contrasted these accomplishments with the Congress party’s divisive actions, emphasizing how the Modi government effectively countered the erosion of national unity caused by Article 370 and upheld the significance of Lord Ram.

Prakash called for comprehensive development in Jharkhand and asserted the party’s determination to secure victory in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, targeting all 14 seats in the state. Additionally, he expressed the party’s goal of ousting the Hemant government through the assembly elections. Prakash concluded by urging the newly inducted members to engage with the public, effectively communicating both the achievements of the central government and the shortcomings of the state government.

A party committed to the welfare of the nation: Dr. Dineshanand Goswami

During the event, BJP’s former state president, Dr. Dineshanand Goswami, emphasized that the Congress party had merely used the slogan of “Garibi Hatao” (Remove Poverty) for 60 years without making substantial efforts to alleviate poverty. In contrast, it is the BJP government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, that has sincerely worked towards eradicating poverty. Goswami pointed out that the Congress party has been synonymous with corruption, and its allies have fostered a culture of corruption. In Modi’s governance, every penny designated for the welfare of the poor reaches their accounts, leaving no room for any misappropriation. He highlighted that the Modi government’s topmost priority is the well-being of rural areas and impoverished farmers. He further added that today, the people of the country regard Prime Minister Narendra Modi as their guardian.

A platform for national service: Rajeev Ranjan Singh

Retired IPS officer Rajeev Ranjan Singh, upon joining the BJP, expressed his admiration for the party’s policies, determination, and leadership. He cited Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mantra of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas” as a significant source of inspiration. Singh conveyed his heartfelt gratitude to the central and state leadership of the BJP, stating that there is no better political platform than the BJP to serve the country.

Having retired from the police force, Singh shared his desire to serve the general public by stepping out of the mindset of an officer. After a year of contemplation, he made the decision to join the BJP directly. As a party member, he is committed to fulfilling the responsibilities entrusted to him. Singh pledged to contribute his utmost as a party worker in serving the nation.
