ARA-------------------------In Bhojpur district, BJP workers celebrated the 47th Foundation Day of the Bharatiya Janata Party with great enthusiasm by hoisting the party flag at their own homes.

Bihar's Deputy Chief Minister—who also serves as the Minister-in-Charge for Bhojpur district—Vijay Sinha, attended the Foundation Day program organized by the BJP Bhojpur at the district office.

Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha and the District President jointly hoisted the party flag. The program organized on the Foundation Day was presided over by Durga Raj, anchored by Er. Dhirendra Singh, and the vote of thanks was delivered by C.D. Sharma.

The program commenced with the lighting of a ceremonial lamp, the singing of *Vande Mataram*, and the offering of floral tributes to the portraits of the party's guiding lights, Pt. Deendayal Upadhyaya and Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee. Subsequently, the dignitaries seated on the dais—including the Chief Guest—were welcomed with traditional ceremonial scarves (*Angavastram*) and mementos.

Addressing the hall packed with party workers, the Deputy Chief Minister stated that the ideals of the party's sources of inspiration—Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee and Pt. Deendayal Upadhyaya—continue to serve as a guiding beacon for millions of workers even today.

On this occasion, while addressing the workers—who were brimming with enthusiasm and energy—he extended a warm welcome to the new members joining the party family. He also honored the dedicated workers from the *Jana Sangh* era, paying tribute to their invaluable contributions.

He remarked: "Today, as we look back upon this glorious journey, the words of Atal-ji resonate in our minds: that the Bharatiya Janata Party would engage in grassroots-level politics to restore the public's lost faith. Over the past decades, countless workers have transformed this resolve into reality through their hard work, sacrifice, and dedication.

The Bharatiya Janata Party is not merely a political party; it is a vast family of patriots dedicated to ensuring the ultimate glory of the nation. 'May Your Glory Be Eternal, Mother—Whether We Live for Four Days or Not' is not merely a slogan for us; it is our very ethos." Deendayal Ji’s philosophy of Integral Humanism serves as our guiding light, while Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s mantra—"Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas" (Support of All, Development for All, Trust of All, Efforts of All)—constitutes our duty and mission.

He stated that: The *Panch Nishtha* (Five Commitments)—Nationalism, Democracy, *Sarva Dharma Sambhav* (Equal Respect for All Religions), Gandhian Socialism, and Value-based Politics—serve as our ideological pillars. Guided by these very principles, the BJP is continuously striving for the welfare of every citizen while simultaneously strengthening the foundations of democracy.

Today, the BJP has become synonymous with development, trust, and the resolve to build a 'New India.' The party advances on the strength of its dedicated *Karyakartas* (workers), who remain committed to the service of the nation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our objective is not merely to win elections, but to win the trust of every single citizen.

Our collective dedication is pledged to Mother India (*Maa Bharati*), the Constitution of the country, and the welfare of our millions of fellow citizens. Upholding the resolve of "Ek Bharat—Shreshtha Bharat" (One India—Great India), we are ceaselessly working towards the creation of a 'Developed India' and a 'Developed Bihar.'

The Deputy Chief Minister extended his heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to all the hardworking, dedicated, and patriotic BJP workers on the occasion of the party's Foundation Day.

Gracing the dais as guests on this occasion were former MLA Amarendra Pratap Singh, State In-charge of the Cooperatives Cell Vishal Singh, Ara Mayor Indu Devi, District In-charge Rajesh Sinha, Regional Co-in-charge for Foundation Day celebrations C.D. Sharma, and former District President Mithlesh Kushwaha.

The event witnessed the participation of leaders, office-bearers, and senior as well as active workers from every level—ranging from the booth level up to the district level.
