TIRUPATI DISTRICT, Varadayapalem, May 4: Andhra Pradesh BJP State president PVN Madhav on Monday called upon every party cadre to work with dedication and a spirit of service towards strengthening the party's organisation in the State, speaking as the chief guest at the Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Prashikshan Maha Abhiyan programme held in Varadayapalem mandal of Tirupati district.

The training programme provided participants with a comprehensive understanding of the party's founding principles, ideology, and its commitment to the goal of Antyodaya — the upliftment of the last person in society.

Addressing the gathering, Mr. PVN Madhav said the Antyodaya principle propounded by Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya served as the guiding light for BJP governance. He stated that the welfare of the weakest and most marginalised section of society was the primary objective of the government, and that the Central government was implementing a wide range of welfare schemes in pursuit of that goal. Ensuring equal opportunities for every section of society in the country's development journey was the BJP's core mission, he added.

Mr. Madhav said the country was making progress across all sectors under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with people extending their support to the government's transparent administration, national security initiatives, and development programmes. He urged party cadre to remain firmly committed to the party's ideology and to deepen their connect with the people at the grassroots level.

The State president emphasised that training programmes such as this one were invaluable in strengthening the BJP's organisational base in Andhra Pradesh, and reiterated his call for every cadre member to work with a sense of mission and service. He reaffirmed the party's unwavering commitment to addressing the problems faced by the people.

A large number of party leaders and cadre attended the programme.

Srikalahasti, May 4: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders and cadres celebrated the party’s performance in the Assembly elections in West Bengal, Assam and Puducherry, at Srikalahasti under the leadership of Andhra Pradesh BJP president P.V.N. Madhav.

Addressing the gathering, Mr. Madhav said the results reflected the people’s continued support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership. He noted that the BJP had secured a clear majority in Assam, Puducherry and West Bengal, and described the outcome in West Bengal as particularly significant.

Referring to the ideological roots of the party, Mr. Madhav said West Bengal shared a historical connection with BJP’s founding ideologue Syama Prasad Mookerjee. The party’s success in his home State had enthused cadres across the country, he added.

Mr. Madhav congratulated party leaders and workers for their efforts, stating that the BJP’s growth was also evident in States such as Tamil Nadu and Kerala, where the party had registered a notable increase in vote share.

He said the results underscored public support for development, national security and transparent governance. Welfare initiatives of the Union government, infrastructure expansion and digital progress had received widespread appreciation, he observed.

Mr. Madhav attributed the victory to the support of youth, women, farmers and the middle class. He affirmed that efforts would continue to strengthen the party in Andhra Pradesh and reiterated the BJP’s commitment to addressing public issues.

Calling for unity, he urged citizens to work together towards the nation’s development.

Amaravati, April 17: State Minister Satya Kumar Yadav on Friday strongly condemned the remarks made by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi in Parliament during the debate on the Nari Shakti Vandan Bill, demanding that Gandhi immediately retract his statements and offer an unconditional apology to the people of the country.

Addressing a press conference at the BJP State office in Vijayawada, the Minister said it was deeply irresponsible of Gandhi to mock Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a time when Parliament was engaged in a crucial debate on women's empowerment. He described Gandhi's references to the Prime Minister as a "jadugar" and a "magician" as unworthy of a Leader of Opposition, and said his remarks undermining the country's military strength were wholly unacceptable.

Satya Kumar Yadav said Prime Minister Modi's leadership had been clearly visible in enhancing India's stature on the international stage and in driving national development. He asserted that the Central government's decisions on national security and military strength had made India significantly more powerful, pointing in particular to the firm stance adopted against Pakistan in bolstering the country's defence.

The Minister said Congress party's opposition to the Nari Shakti Vandan Bill had laid bare the party's true attitude towards women's empowerment. He added that the Central government's transparent and corruption-free governance continued to enjoy strong public support.

On the delimitation issue, Satya Kumar Yadav said the increase in parliamentary seats following the census was intended to ensure justice for southern States, with the possibility of up to a 50 per cent increase in seats for the south. He criticised the Congress for having fostered a sense of division between northern and southern States during its tenure in power.

The Minister said the BJP would welcome support from any party for decisions aimed at women's development and national progress.
