Amit Shah in his presidential speech said the BJP aims to protect India`™s culture and identity and each member of the party should take pride in the fact that they are members of one of the biggest political party in the world.
The party which was launched by only 10 persons is today one of the biggest party in the world which has been made possible only because of the trust of the Indian people, he continued.
At one time, the party could have only two MPs in the Indian Parliament, however, in the 2014 election, the party created history of having the highest number of MPs, he continued.
He further said members of the party should never covet only power even if the party is in power, but work to bring development in all aspects in the country.
Shah further appealed to the members to make BJP win in all upcoming elections including in the Assembly elections.
He also appealed to the party members to make the entire country aware of the BJP ideology and objectives.
BJP is not a party where members of only one family can be the Prime Minister of India, Shah continued.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister after a landmark victory in 2014 and in such a brief period of only one year his government has tried to make the NE develop in every aspect, the BJP national president observd.
Several development works have been initiated in the region he said, and added further that development of the NE is a priority of the BJP.
India cannot develop without development of the North East, he continued.
Shah said now the time has come to realise the promises he had made when he was appointed the president of the party in 2014.
Even though the party is one of the biggest political party in the world, it is still weak in the North East, he observed.
It is the party`™s priority to win in the general elections in the North Eastern States to strengthen its presence in the region, he continued.
The party also hopes to form governments in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur, he continued.
The party has also resolved to hold Maha Sampark Abhiyan in the district level in the NE States to strengthen the party.
