Ad-hoc governance, closed treasury and internal discord—Congress has completely derailed the system in Himachal: JP Nadda
Addressing the felicitation rally, Bharatiya Janata Party National President Jagat Prakash Nadda began his address by seeking the blessings of Maa Tara Devi and Lord Hanuman at Jakhu Temple. He said this gathering was not merely a political event, but an occasion to reaffirm the collective resolve for nation-building.
Nadda said the historic and landslide victory in Bihar is a testament to the people’s unshakeable faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Mothers and sisters, youth, farmers and workers of Bihar have once again endorsed the policies and leadership of Prime Minister Modi. He said the mandate from Bihar sends a clear message across the country that those who attempt to run politics on the crutches of infiltrators have no place in India. No matter how many marches they take out, the people will show infiltrators and their supporters the door.
Referring to Himachal Pradesh, Nadda recalled that during the previous Assembly elections he had cautioned the people not to make the mistake of bringing Congress to power, because the only path to Himachal’s development is a double-engine government. He said the people present want Himachal to move forward, whereas Congress politics is limited to “eat, drink and make merry.” Congress does not think about the future; it is driven only by the lust for power. Hence, there can be no convergence between the BJP’s vision and the Congress mindset.
Emphasising organisational strength, Nadda said Prime Minister Modi has clearly directed that party offices must be modern and serve as centres of dialogue, churning of ideas and planning. He informed that the target is to build 787 BJP offices across the country, of which 617 have already been completed. In Himachal Pradesh, nine offices have been completed and work on the remaining ones is progressing rapidly.
Explaining the BJP’s organisational philosophy, Nadda highlighted the ‘5 Ks’—Karyakarta (workers), Karyakram (programmes), Course (training), Kosh (funds) and Karyalaya (office). BJP offices, he said, are not merely buildings; they are centres of values and culture, from where the mission of public service, national progress and building a developed India is carried forward.
Nadda said Indian politics underwent a fundamental transformation 11 years ago. Earlier, governments at the Centre were formed, only to later become captive to a particular class, family, caste or religion. Prime Minister Modi changed this course and ushered in the politics of “one voice, one government.” Modi, he said, considers himself the nation’s Pradhan Sevak (chief servant). Kartavya Path and Kartavya Bhavan symbolise this new politics of duty.
He said the BJP government is a report-card government—what it promised, it delivered, and even what it did not explicitly promise, it accomplished. In contrast, UPA politics revolved around casteism, appeasement and nepotism, while BJP politics is rooted in accountability and good governance.
Citing recent electoral outcomes, Nadda said in Haryana the Congress had already ordered sweets and prepared celebrations, yet the people placed their trust in Prime Minister Modi. Congress suffered a crushing defeat in Maharashtra, and Bihar too bestowed a historic mandate. The BJP’s guiding mantra, he reiterated, is Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas.
Nadda said all political parties other than the BJP are immersed in the pursuit of power and suffer from ideological emptiness. The BJP abrogated Article 370, paved the way for the construction of the Ram Temple—where the flag now flies—and ended the inhuman practice of triple talaq, delivering justice to Muslim women, a reform already implemented in many Muslim-majority countries.
Attacking Congress, he said the party undermined Vande Mataram and the very spirit of India’s freedom struggle, whereas the BJP practises politics aimed at taking the nation forward. He expressed confidence that the BJP will form governments in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Assam in the times to come. With over 14 crore members, more than 10 lakh active workers and organisational committees formed at over six lakh booths, the BJP has become the world’s largest political party.
Highlighting India’s transformation under Prime Minister Modi, Nadda said India has become the world’s fourth-largest economy. Over 160 new airports have been built, and ‘Made in India’ now dominates mobile manufacturing. Ayushman Bharat has benefited more than 62 crore people, while sanitation drives and toilet construction have restored dignity to crores of mothers and sisters.
Turning to Himachal Pradesh, Nadda launched a sharp attack on the Congress government and questioned Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on what the Centre has denied the state. He said the Centre provided ₹3,789 crore for disaster relief, over ₹1,000 crore for Smart Cities, funds for Vibrant Village development, medical colleges, AIIMS Bilaspur, a bulk drug park, four-lane highways, and developed Baddi as a pharmaceutical hub—yet the Congress government continues to spread falsehoods.
Nadda stated that the Centre has sent more than ₹2,000 crore as special assistance and approved ₹1,442 crore under JICA funding, but the Congress government utilised only about 50% of the funds in several schemes. A government that cannot utilise funds, he said, has no right to remain in power.
He added that Himachal’s treasury is frequently shut, the entire administration runs on ad-hoc arrangements, and there is no coordination between the Chief Minister and his ministers. The Congress government has not brought even a single concrete project to the Centre. Challenging it, Nadda said if the state brings any well-prepared project, the Centre will approve it immediately.
In conclusion, JP Nadda called upon BJP workers to take these facts and truths to every village and town, so that the people of Himachal can free themselves from Congress misrule and move decisively towards development and good governance.
