BJP is the only political party with internal democracy and ideology: Amit Shah

Shah said that election for all posts of BJP takes place in every three years and no one can remain President for more than two terms, highlighting the internal democracy of the party.

Digging at Congress and Trinamool Congress, Shah said: "No one can predict who is the next President of BJP but everyone knows who is the next President of Congress or TMC."

He even gave much importance to the internal democracy of the party as an important element to bring about a change, be it in the state or the country.

With a sharp attack on BJP's perennial political opponent Congress, Shah emphasised on the presence of ideology in the party much more than any other parties of the nation.

"During the Independence movement, all parties joined Congress to gain freedom for the country, so Congress never had their own ideology. The Communist party had ideology but they had been rejected across the country and also in this state. However, BJP never compromised on their ideology till the present moment," he added.

Shah linked ideology with democracy by saying that political parties devoid of ideologies do not approve parliamentary system of democracy.

He even claimed BJP as the only party to stake power in the politics of India in the present scenario.

Referring to the performances of the previous governments in India, the BJP President said: "The country has witnessed three types of governments which were ruled by Congress, the Communists and the regional forces but the time has come to have BJP government everywhere after 70 years of Independence."

Shah highlighted several schemes and developmental works made by the Modi government since coming to power in the central government in 2014.

Start Up India, Stand Up India, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan were recounted by the party President as the contributions of the BJP government at the Centre.

"BJP ruled states have seen so much development that we are have been voted to power for consecutive terms, be it in Gujarat or Rajhasthan or any other state," he added.

BJP President Amit Shah earlier said on Wednesday that his party will aim at clinching highest number of seats in the Lok Sabha polls in Bengal in 2019.

"The BJP is aiming at winning highest number of seats in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls," Shah said at Chief Minister's constituency Bhawanipur.

Attacking West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Shah said: "Politics of violence and appeasement by Mamata banerjee's TMC cannot stop the surge of BJP in West Bengal."
