Andhra Pradesh BJP president D. Purandeswari has said that her party has been committed to the guiding principles of ‘Antyodaya’ and ‘Ekatmata Manavtavad’ (integral humanism) through its decades-long journey that began with the Bharatiya Jana Sangh.
“The party is indebted to Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay for conceptualising ‘Ekatmata Manavtavad’, which remains the core of its ideology,” Ms. Purandeswari said while paying tributes to Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay at a programme organised by the BJP here on the occasion of his death anniversary on February 11.
Ms. Purandeswari said the party became stronger over the years, and under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it earned global recognition. The BJP was identified with schemes, whereas the other national parties that had been at the helm before 2014 were synonymous with scams, she said.
