Lucknow, ‘The organization is paramount for me and every order of the organization will be universally accepted for me.’ With this aphorism, newly elected state president Pankaj Choudhary expressed his feelings at the organization festival of Bharatiya Janata Party on Sunday at Ram Manohar Lohia Law University, Ashiana. The names of BJP State President and National Council members were also officially announced in the programme. On this occasion, the newly elected State President said that he is humbled and overwhelmed by the extraordinary love he has received from the godlike workers across the state. We are feeling blessed by everyone’s affection, enthusiasm and warm welcome in the state capital Lucknow, situated on the banks of river Gomti.
Lucknow is the center point of Indian politics
Pankaj Choudhary said that Lucknow is also considered the center point of Indian politics. In such a situation, he is thrilled, excited and proud while assuming the responsibility of Uttar Pradesh BJP State President. He said that on the occasion of this great gathering of workers, they are associating themselves with loving feelings. This feeling became stronger when the central leadership entrusted him with such a big responsibility. Expressing his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP National President JP Nadda, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and Sangh Parivar, he said that this great responsibility has been entrusted to him. He said that it is possible only in a democratic party like Bharatiya Janata Party that even an ordinary worker like me can be entrusted with such a big responsibility.
No debate goes on in the party
Pankaj Chaudhary said that familyism and casteism do not work in BJP. The leadership of the party does not go to any particular family nor to any particular caste. Here any active worker can perform the biggest responsibility. That is why we all are proud of our party.
The beginning of political life was not planned
The newly elected state president said that the beginning of his political career was not planned. The stubbornness of not accepting defeat in the face of wrong made him enter politics. He said that after becoming a councillor, some unfair legal obstacles were put in the election of Deputy Mayor. He fought against this with his supporters from Civil Court to Supreme Court and got justice in seven months, after which he became the Deputy Mayor of Gorakhpur. He said that this was the first such case in which a stay was imposed on an elected public representative and the decision was taken within seven months. In the year 1991, at the age of 26, BJP directed him to contest Lok Sabha elections from Maharajganj. From 1991 to 2024, he never left Maharajganj and BJP. The opportunity to become a candidate from the same party and the same parliamentary constituency seven times came with the blessings of the BJP and the people of Maharajganj.
Will get opportunity to learn and guidance
Pankaj Choudhary said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed unwavering confidence in him and gave him the responsibility of Minister of State for Finance in the Central Government, which he is fulfilling with full devotion. As state president, this is his most serious and challenging responsibility so far. He is confident that the affection and dedication of BJP workers of Uttar Pradesh will be helpful in discharging this responsibility. He said that since 1980 till now, a total of 15 state presidents have led the organization. The experiences of all of them are an invaluable heritage of the organization, from which they will get the opportunity to learn and seek guidance.
Four important pillars of any political party
Pankaj Chaudhary said that there are four main pillars of any political party. Workers, offices, programs and funds. Office is like a pilgrimage for all of us. The party’s ideas reach the public through programs and all this requires funds. But the most important pillar is the worker. If there are no dedicated workers, all other arrangements become meaningless. He said that the workers are their real capital and strength. He has won all his elections on the basis of these. From the stage, he told the workers across the state that you are paramount for me. I will fight for you, listen to you and try my best to solve your problems.
Continuous communication will give you the benefit of experience
Pankaj Chaudhary said that constant communication with the workers has been an integral part of his political life of 35 years. According to him, leadership is not just about giving orders, but listening to everyone with nobility and trying to find solutions is true leadership. He said that he does not have to rule but has to play his role. The role of a coordinator, resolver and head who takes the entire family together.
Organization, contact, communication and coordination will be the basic mantra
Pankaj Chaudhary said that the basic mantra of his leadership will be organization, contact, communication and coordination. His priority will be to strengthen the organization through contact and dialogue and to continuously convey the ideas of the party to the public. It is the responsibility of the workers to convey their problems to the government, while it is the responsibility of the party and the workers to convey the public welfare works of the government to the public. He said that a person holding any post can be a former person, but a worker is never a former one. Workers are the real strength of the party. His endeavor will be to ensure that the benefits of the experiences of senior party leaders reach the workers. In the program, Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal mentioned the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the development works going on in the state under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The newly appointed state president was welcomed in the ceremony with blowing of conch and damru. On this occasion, Bhupendra Chaudhary handed over the party flag to Pankaj Chaudhary.
