Pointing at the prevailing corruption, ‘blind beliefs’ and illiteracy in the country, BJP National Secretary Ram Madhav appealed the people to "feel the pain of the present and work to reform the present”. Madhav, who is also director of India Foundation, said that that people should become stakeholders to transform the country into a ‘New India’.
The BJP leader was speaking at the ‘Swami Chinmayananda Memorial Lecture’ held at INA Memorial Hall, Moirang in south Manipur today. The Memorial lecture was organised by Chinmaya Mission.
The government is not talking about reformation but for complete transformation of the country, Madav said.
“If we want to become New India, it is the responsibility of the people and come forward to make a Swachh and corruption free India,” he added.
He said that people should not merely become rights seekers but should become stakeholders. He mentioned that in the next 5 years, India would become poverty free and corruption free country and no single person would be living in poverty by 2022. The government will have zero tolerance on terrorism and corruption, he added.
Ram Madhav also stressed building “an India where we can proudly say we are Indians.”
The objective of the new BJP led government is to bring peace and normalcy in the State, he said.
The government is committed in restoring peace and saving territorial integrity of the State, he added. The BJP leader further stated that knowledge without love is not a true knowledge. “Let us commit ourselves to work and serve with love for the betterment of the society and country,” he appealed.
Also speaking on the occasion, Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh said that people should think what we can contribute for the development and welfare of the nation.
The need of the hour is “to expose our rich culture and tradition and it should not be confined only to our State,” he added.
Stating that the people should not be merely a rights seeker, the Chief Minister said that “we need to work to such extend that each and every citizen of this country gets their due respect in foreign countries”. He further said, “We have to leave negative thoughts so that there would be positive change, prosperity and inclusive growth in the country”.
N Biren Singh then appealed the people to abandon the mindset to work only for their personal benefits but rather work in bringing inclusive development in the State. He further stated that we need to organise such talk, lectures and conferences in our State so that we could think, mould and share wide knowledge to the present generation.
On the occasion, the Chief Minister announced that photography would be allowed inside the premises of INA Museum from September 11.
