Jammu, Feb 11:
The Jammu & Kashmir Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today observed Samarpan Diwas to commemorate the Punyatithi (death anniversary) of its founding ideologue, Pt. Deendayal Upadhyay. Programs were organized across all districts of the Union Territory, with senior leadership reaffirming the party’s commitment to the philosophy of Integral Humanism and the mission of Antyodaya.
A Visionary of Value-Based Politics
In New Delhi, J&K BJP President and Rajya Sabha MP Sat Sharma (CA) led the commemorations by paying floral tributes to Upadhyay. Addressing the gathering, Sharma described the late leader as the architect of the BJP’s ideological foundation.
“Pt. Deendayal Upadhyay was not merely a political thinker but a visionary who gave Bharatiya politics a value-based direction. His approach ensures governance is rooted in ethics, nationalism, and social justice,” Sharma stated.
He further emphasized that the party’s commitment to the “last person standing in the queue” is a direct reflection of Upadhyay’s vision, bridging the gap from Panchayat to Parliament.
Antyodaya: The Soul of Governance
Speaking from the party office in Srinagar, Ashok Koul, General Secretary (Organization), highlighted how the concept of Antyodaya—the upliftment of the poorest of the poor—serves as the backbone of the current government’s model.
-
Farmer Welfare: Targeted schemes to ensure rural prosperity.
-
Empowerment: Focus on women, youth, and marginalized sections.
-
Effective Implementation: Koul noted that the Modi-led government has successfully translated these philosophical ideals into practical welfare schemes nationwide.
