Ambala, April 6:- Haryana’s Minister for Energy, Transport and Labour, Anil Vij, said, “The Bharatiya Janata Party is the largest party in the world.” He added that the party works on principles, and its core ideologies include “Antyodaya,” social harmony, nationalism, cultural nationalism, and economic development. He further stated, “We are an ideological party, not a herd like other parties.”
Minister Vij was responding to questions from media personnel after hoisting the flag on the occasion of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Foundation Day.
He informed that recently a camp was organized in Ambala Cantonment for BJP workers, where they were kept for 24 hours. During the camp, workers were educated and discussions were held on party principles, working methods, ideology, and organizational matters.
While interacting with the media, Vij referred to the formation of the Bharatiya Janata Party and said that the political party Jan Sangh was established in 1951. It was led for a long time by Shyama Prasad Mukherjee and Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya.
Criticizing the activities of the Congress Party, Vij said that when former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi imposed Emergency, many leaders were arrested and imprisoned without any fault. This move angered the public, and she later lifted the Emergency and announced elections.
To defeat Indira Gandhi in the elections, all parties came together to form the Janata Party. The Janata Party contested elections and formed the government, which broke apart after a few years. After the split of the Janata Party, on April 6, 1980, members of Jan Sangh formed a separate party named the Bharatiya Janata Party, and today marks its Foundation Day.
Responding to a question regarding the establishment of a “Driving Training and Research Institute” and an “Automated Vehicle Testing Station” in Shahpur of Ambala Cantonment, Vij said that a driving certificate is required to obtain a driving license, and earlier people had to travel far to get it.
Therefore, approval has been granted to establish a driving school in Ambala Cantonment itself. Funds have been sanctioned and administrative approval has also been received. Further process is underway, and soon residents of Ambala will not have to travel far to obtain driving certificates.
