Journey began with 2 LS seats is now at 303: Modi Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday, after inaugurating the newly constructed BJP Central Office (extension), said that the party’s journey from two Lok Sabha seats in 1984 to 303 seats in 2019, has been an inspirational journey of expansion of thought and ideology. On the occasion, PM Modi also inaugurated the presidential campus and auditorium here in the national capital. Addressing the inaugural event, PM Modi said, “When I inaugurated the party office in 2018, I had said that our workers are the soul of our office. Today, when we are expanding our office, it is not just the expansion of one building but it is also an expansion of the aspirations of every worker, and their commitment towards the BJP. I bow to crores of workers and founder members of the party”. Ahead of the 44th foundation day of the party, the Prime Minister called the party’s journey ‘tireless and continuous’. “In the coming days, our party will celebrate its 44th inauguration day. It has been a tireless and continuous journey. It is a culmination of hard work, the pinnacle of dedication and resolutions, expansion of thought and ideology, and is very inspirational,” PM Modi said. “Bharatiya Jana Sangh had started with a small office near Ajmeri Gate in Delhi. At that time, we were a very small party with big dreams for the country. In 1980, after BJP was formed, for some time, 10 Rajendra Prasad Marg became our office, where Nanaji Deshmukh stayed earlier. Some workers would also remember our office at 11 Ashoka Road. Our office also shifted at Deendayaal Upadhyay Marg,” PM Modi said while recalling the party’s journey and rise through ups and downs. The Prime Minister said that even during the Emergency period, BJP was ready to sacrifice itself to save Democracy.
