BJP proved that parties can run on values, performance: Madhav

BJP general secretary Ram Madhav Friday said his party has proved that political parties can be run on the basis of values and performance.

He was speaking at the inauguration of a three-day- long orientation-cum-leadership development programme at Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini (RMP) at Uttan near Bhayandar in Thane district. The training programme is being attended by Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu and 41 BJP MLAs from his state.

RMP, an RSS-affiliated independent research and training institute, is conducting this training programme, which will have sessions on topics like understanding the roles and responsibilities of an MLA. BJP vice president Vinay Sahasrabuddhe and Madhav inaugurated the programme.

Addressing the lawmakers from the north-eastern state, Madhav said, "You may be quite good popularity-wise, but you should also be as good in terms of performance...BJP is not only a party, but a way of life and a political culture."
