(Photo: IANS) NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday extended warm greetings to party workers on the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Foundation Day, lauding their dedication and reaffirming the party’s commitment to development and public welfare.In a post on X, PM Modi said the party has consistently upheld the principle of “India First” and remains at the forefront of serving society. He praised BJP workers for their selfless service, grassroots outreach, and commitment to good governance, while remembering those whose sacrifice and perseverance contributed to the party’s growth.”Warm greetings to all BJP Karyakartas across the nation on the party’s Sthapana Diwas. Our Party has always been at the forefront of serving society, guided by the principle of India First. Our Karyakartas are known for their selfless service, unwavering dedication and a deep passion towards good governance. They have worked tirelessly at the grassroots, ensuring maximum people are connected to our ideology and work. We also remember the countless workers whose dedication, sacrifice and perseverance have shaped the party’s growth over decades,” said PM Modi. “The BJP stands as a party that places well-being of people at the centre of its vision. This is reflected in our work at the Centre and in various states. BJP remains committed to building a Viksit Bharat. May our collective resolve continue to drive this vision forward and take India to new heights of progress and prosperity,” he added.Senior leaders also marked the occasion, highlighting the party’s ideological roots and evolution into what they described as the world’s largest political organisation.Union home minister Amit Shah said the BJP’s formation was not just a political development but a pledge for national reconstruction, inspired by Shyama Prasad Mukherjee and Deendayal Upadhyay. He added that under PM Modi’s leadership, the party has advanced the vision of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas” and strengthened democratic governance.BJP president J. P. Nadda paid tribute to the party’s founding figures and workers, saying their efforts had elevated the organisation to the forefront of national politics. He emphasised the party’s focus on “Antyodaya” and inclusive development, and reiterated its goal of building a developed, self-reliant India by 2047.Union ministers Kiren Rijiju and Nitin Gadkari also extended greetings, crediting the dedication of party workers for the BJP’s growth into a major political force.Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath described the BJP as more than a political party, calling it a “vibrant ideological tradition” rooted in democratic values and cultural ethos. He said the party’s journey reflects a commitment to service, values, and nation-building.Founded in 1980 after splitting from the Janata Party, the BJP traces its origins to the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, established in 1951 by Shyama Prasad Mukherjee. Over the decades, it has emerged as one of India’s प्रमुख national parties, centred on nationalism and development.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosGreen Asha Transit Marks Key Moment, Only One Lpg Tanker Left In The RegionIran FM Araghchi Calls Jaishankar As Hormuz Tensions SpikeDRDO Begins Work On Next-Generation Missile To Replace Prithvi Series : Reports“Adani Is BJP’s Financial Structure”: Rahul Gandhi Tears Into PM ModiPakistan To Return $3.5 Billion UAE Debt In April Despite Reserve StrainOil India Posts Record Crude Output From Rajasthan’s Thar Desert Amid West Asia Crisis‘True Friendship’: Iran Envoy Lauds India Ties, Clarifies Deleted Thank You PostsPM Modi Assures No Seat Cut For Southern States, Pushes Women’s Quota Bill‘Will Take It To Kolkata’: Pak Minister Khawaja Asif’s Fresh Threat After Rajnath’s Stern WarningBig Reveal: ISI Behind Chandigarh Attack, Global Terror Links Surface123Photostories7 foods that can give you 20g of protein without chicken or protein powder”I thought I was healthy,” until a routine test revealed early liver damage: Warning signs people miss and simple changes that helped reverse itTop 10 high-fibre foods that aren’t vegetables10 home names inspired by cultural symbols and their meanings7 easy tips to keep your home smelling pleasant naturally10 animals that seem to “kiss” like humans but each behaviour has a completely different meaningFrom Kanjeevaram to Bandhani:A complete 28-state saree guide of IndiaBaby names inspired by colorsSummer Meal: How to make light and comforting Boondi Kadhi for dinnerFSSAI shares how much oil you should consume in a day and effective steps to track oil intake; easy zero-oil dishes inside123Hot PicksSophie CunninghamUpdated IPL Points TableStephen Curry MomLPG ShortageStephen CurryPublic holidays April 2026Bank Holidays AprilTop TrendingVenus WilliamsAsian Stocks TodayStrait of HormuzIPL 2026Saudi Arabia travel ban rulesToll PaymentIran Drone StrikeHailee SteinfeldSchool Holidays in AprilIran war news Apr 06, 2026, 09:54 IST ‘We couldn’t hold our nerve’: CSK head coach reacts after RCB thrashing, gives Brevis update Asian stocks today: Nikkei surges over 800 points; Hong Kong, China shut for holiday Sujatha Mohan health issue: Singer REVEALS throat problem stopped her from singing for five years Kate Middleton rewears chic cream dress with Queen Elizabeth’s pearl drop earrings for Easter 2026 Air India 171 crash: 4-second question that could change everything we think we know Updated: Apr 06, 2026, 09:03 IST After a lean season, Gujarat Titans’ Rashid Khan eyes course correction Stock market today: NSE Nifty50 opens below 22,800, BSE Sensex falls 300 points as oil stays above $111 per barrel JEE Advanced 2026 registration opens for Foreign and OCI/PIO (F) candidates: Check steps to apply here Sumukha marries long-time girlfriend; Kannada actor ties knot with Maitri Uka; Private ceremony held in Rishikesh Numerology Predictions Today, April 06, 2026: Read your personalised forecast for numbers 1 to 9 Donald Trump asks Tehran to open Strait of Hormuz; Iran says ‘lost the keys’: Where things stand after a month of war Apr 06, 2026, 08:57 IST Virat Kohli’s heartwarming gesture after Sarfaraz Khan’s dismissal goes viral – watch | Cricket News Moody’s cuts GDP growth forecast for FY27 to 6% AP Inter Results 2026 expected soon: Check where and how to download BIEAP marksheets ‘Ramayana’ director Nitesh Tiwari picks Lord Ram’s exile as ‘most emotional’ scene: ‘I hope that it will move the audience’ “I plead guilty of that too”, Anand Mahindra pleasantly shocked after seeing this hidden hill station in Jharkhand April 06, 2026, Birthday Forecast: Discover what the next 12 months hold for you Israel bombs Sharif University of Technology in Iran, triggers gas outage; video shows aftermath Pawan Khera NEW DELHI: Congress leader Pawan Khera posed a series of questions directed towards Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his wife, Riniki Bhuyan Sharma demanding clarity on disclosures made in official affidavits.Khera also said that he will present more evidence in the coming days as the controversy intensifies ahead of the state assembly polls.Speaking to reporters, he further questioned why the Assam CM had allegedly concealed details of overseas properties linked to his wife in official disclosures.“Are they denying that they have no property in Dubai? Are they denying that they have no company in America? Are they denying that they have no shell companies anywhere in the world? We will give much more evidence every day. A lot is coming. Why has he concealed the Dubai properties owned by his wife from his election affidavit?” he said.The remarks come amid a political row that escalated into a war of words, with Himanta announcing legal action against the Congress leader.Sarma rejects allegations, announces defamation caseResponding to the charges, Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday dismissed all allegations as ‘malicious’ and ‘politically motivated’ and said that both he and his wife will initiate legal proceedings.In a post on X, he wrote: “I categorically reject every allegation made by him. These are malicious, fabricated, and politically motivated lies aimed at misleading the people of Assam.”He further added: “My wife and I will be filing both criminal and civil defamation cases within the next 48 hours against Shri Pawan Khera. He will be held fully accountable for his reckless and defamatory statements.”Expressing confidence in the legal process, Sarma said: “I have complete faith in the judiciary. Once the truth is established in a court of law, Shri Pawan Khera will face the consequences of his actions, and the law will take its due course.”Khera’s allegations and demand for probeDuring his press conference, Khera raised multiple allegations, including claims related to foreign properties, shell companies and passport holdings linked to the CM’s family.He questioned: “What is the need for Himanta Biswa Sarma’s wife to hold 3 passports? Are you some kind of criminal? Does Himanta himself have more such passports somewhere? Is this preparation—for fleeing after losing the election?”He also alleged financial links to shell companies abroad, stating: “Himanta Biswa Sarma has kept his money in shell companies set up in Wyoming. Why Wyoming? Because there’s no tax here… It’s a well-known place where people’s properties are hidden away.”Calling for an investigation, Khera asked: “When will Amit Shah set up an SIT to investigate? When will CEC Gyanesh Kumar take cognizance of hiding information in the affidavit?”He further claimed: “Himanta’s wife Rinki Bhuyan Sarma has a company in Wyoming, USA. The member list of this company includes Rinki Bhuyan Sarma, Himanta Biswa Sarma, and their son.”The controversy erupted after Khera alleged that Riniki Bhuyan Sharma holds multiple foreign passports and has business and property links abroad, including in Dubai and the United States.Sarma, however, rejected the claims and pointed to ‘serious discrepancies’ in the documents cited by Khera, suggesting possible fabrication or manipulation. He maintained that the allegations are part of a politically motivated campaign ahead of the Assam assembly elections.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
