State president PVN Madhav reaffirms party's ideological moorings in Upadhyaya and Mookerjee; calls on cadre to strengthen organisation from booth to village level

GUNTUR : The Bharatiya Janata Party observed its 47th Foundation Day with a solemn and spirited function at the district party headquarters 'Vajpayee Bhavan' here on Monday, with state president PVN Madhav reaffirming the party's foundational commitment to national service and the principle of Antyodaya — ensuring justice for the last person in the social order.

The event, organised under the chairmanship of district president Cherukuri Tirupati Rao, saw Mr. Madhav formally unfurl the party flag before addressing a gathering of workers and leaders drawn from across the district.

Tracing the BJP's journey since its founding on April 6, 1980, Mr. Madhav said the party had evolved not merely as a political organisation but as a force dedicated to the service of the nation. "The BJP has always stood apart — guided not by electoral arithmetic alone but by the philosophy of Nation First and the welfare of the people," he said. He added that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, the country was advancing rapidly towards the vision of 'Viksit Bharat' — a developed India by 2047.

Mr. Madhav attributed the BJP's rise to become the world's largest political party to the spirit of service and sacrifice demonstrated by its cadre at every level. He called upon workers to further consolidate the party's organisational presence from the village to the booth level, describing each worker as a foundational pillar of the party's strength.

Underlining the party's ideological continuity, Mr. Madhav said the BJP drew its direction from the thoughts and principles of Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee and Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya. He reiterated that the concept of Antyodaya — uplifting the weakest and most marginalised sections of society — remained at the core of the party's mission and governance philosophy.

District president Cherukuri Tirupati Rao, addressing the gathering, pledged to work with renewed commitment towards strengthening the party across every village and booth in Guntur district. He said workers must immerse themselves in the lives of the people, address their problems proactively, and take personal responsibility for ensuring that Central government schemes reached every citizen.

The function was attended by Kisan Morcha state president Chigurpati Kumar Swamy, SC Morcha state president Panatala Suresh, Minority Morcha state president Syed Basha, and senior leaders including Kothuru Venkata Subba Rao, Yadlapati Swaroopa Rani, Bhimineni Chandrasekhar, Bajrang Ramakrishna, Dasu Satyanarayana, Palапати Ravi Kumar, and a large number of district morcha presidents and mandal presidents.

"This will bring transparency and awareness to the doorstep of every villager," he said.

Elaborating on the Central government's developmental footprint in Motadaka village alone, Mr. Madhav said the village had received approximately Rs. 3 crore in Central funds.

He said special measures had been taken to reduce the burden on women by ensuring tap water connectivity to every home.

Reaffirming the Central government's vision of transforming India into a developed nation by 2047, Mr. Madhav said the double-engine government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi remained firmly committed to the upliftment of the poor.

Guntur, April 3: The chants of Jai Amaravati and Jai Modi rang through the streets of Guntur on Friday as BJP,TDP and Janasena workers poured out in celebration, marking the passage of the Amaravati capital bill in both Houses of Parliament — a moment many here described as the culmination of a long and bruising political battle.

At the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Circle, party workers performed a ceremonial milk offering to a portrait of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, garlanded the statue of former Prime Minister Vajpayee, and raised slogans hailing the NDA coalition for delivering legal recognition to the city that Andhra Pradesh has long claimed as its rightful capital.

BJP Guntur district president Cherukuri Tirupati Rao, who led the celebrations, said the NDA's united effort had turned years of uncertainty into a constitutional reality. "The decision has restored the faith of the people of Andhra Pradesh," he said, thanking both the Central and state leadership for seeing the matter through.

Senior BJP leader Jupudi Rangaraju called the passage of the bill through the Assembly and Parliament a watershed moment, saying it had laid to rest a controversy that had clouded the state's political landscape for years.

East constituency MLA Naseer Ahmed struck an emotional note, remembering the farmers who had given up their lands for the capital's construction. "Their sacrifice has not gone in vain," he said, adding that legal recognition was long overdue since the state's bifurcation.

West constituency MLA Galla Madhavi said the Centre-state partnership would now accelerate development on the ground, while Janasena district president Gade Venkateswara Rao said the decision had given fresh hope to those who had fought for Amaravati through years of political turbulence.

The gathering drew a large cross-section of BJP and Janasena district leaders and workers, reflecting the mood of a coalition united in celebrating what many here are calling Andhra Pradesh's defining political moment.
