Mangaluru: The BJP party aims at making nation free from ideology of Congress, and not free of Congress party as nation also needs a strong opposition party,” said BJP National General Secretary B. L. Santhosh.
He was speaking at the valedictory programme of the two-day state-level workshop organised for the representatives of 24 cells of BJP at TV Raman Pai here on Saturday November 13. “As criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi will help Congress hog limelight in the media, the leaders of that party have resorted to this ploy. The opposition parties should act and talk responsibly. A good opposition party is very important for a effective functioning of a ruling party, he noted.
Taking a sly dig at Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi, Santhosh said that targetting someone personally is unfair. There is no room for committed and talented leaders in the Congress party as only family politics is given the importance.
Santhosh also noted that the country is changing with concepts such as ‘Swadeshi’, and ‘Atmanirbar’ among others gaining prominence.
BJP State President Nalin Kumar Kateel, Social Welfare Department Minister Kota Srinivas Poojary, Fisheries Minister S. Angara, and others were present.
