Only RSS was built on Bharatiya ideology, says Tejasvi Surya

Mr. Surya, the national president of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, said that, except the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the other key organisations like the Congress, Communist party and the Justice party formed before Independence have “wreaked havoc” in the country

Member of Parliament and national president of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, Tejasvi Surya, on Friday said that with the exception of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the other key organisations that were formed before Independence, including the Justice Party, were “neither Bharatiya in spirit, nor in thought, and never in action”.

Addressing ‘Tamil Nadu Dialogues 2022’, a conference organised by the Tamil Nadu BJP Thinkers’ Cell, he said that while the Congress was formed by a foreigner, the Communist Party and the Justice Party were influenced by foreign ideology.

He said that while these three ideologies “wreaked havoc economically, politically, culturally and socially” in the country, the only ideology that had “contributed immensely to the creation of prosperity in the country” was the one represented by the BJP.

Nothing could explain this better than the BJP’s rule in Gujarat, which was entering its seventh term, and the regime in West Bengal that was led by the Left for seven terms. While the former witnessed all-round progress, the latter witnessed decline, he said.

“In the last eight years, the country, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has lifted the largest number of people out of poverty in India’s existence as an independent nation,” he said.

Accusing the Congress of being the root-cause of most of the ‘ills’ that affected the country, he alleged that the Justice Party, which metamorphosed into the DMK, had now become a “family-run, unlisted business enterprise”.

Stressing the need to vote these ideologies out of power, he said the BJP, which needed a stronger messenger in Tamil Nadu, had found it in its current State president K. Annamalai. He said a very silent but real revolution was taking place in Tamil Nadu.
