BJP: Amid global turmoil, India needs stable government: Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi

Senior Indian People’s Party (BJP) leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi On Friday he said that in the midst of the current Global upheavalIndia or any other democracy needs a stable government and capable leadership that can play the role of a “problem solver” and be a “flag bearer” for socio-economic and cultural empowerment. Speaking at the “Asian Brand and Leadership Conclave 2024” organised in Surajkund, Haryana, Naqvi also said that AI does not create a “perfect leader but a surrogate reader”.

Technology is complementary and not an obligation to limit capacity and trust, he said.

Naqvi said that a leadership emerges after being tested in the “furnace of struggle.”

“Our country is witness to numerous leaders born out of struggle, such as Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Ambedkar, Deendayal Upadhyaya, Ram Manohar LohiaLal Bahadur Shastri, Sardar Patel, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, Jai Prakash Narayan and Atal Bihari Vajpayeewho not only led the country but also planted the saplings of a new leadership,” he said.

Naqvi said that amid the current global turmoil, India or any other democracy needs a stable government and capable leadership that can become a “problem solver” and the “flag bearer” of socio-economic and cultural empowerment.

He said the most worrying situation in any democracy is when leadership emerges from “four walls of palaces” instead of “chaurahas (crossroads) and chaupals (village gathering places).”
Naqvi said he is happy that many effective and capable leaders are emerging amidst the problems and struggles in many democratic countries of the world, including India.

“A few days ago I read about a 34-year-old Democratic US MP Ocasio Cortez, whose short political career is an example of crises, struggles and successes. Her father died of cancer while working in a small shop, her mother worked as a cleaner in people’s houses to earn a living; she studied thanks to a school loan and worked as a waitress to earn a living. US MP Cartez, who had a life full of challenges, is a living example of how to turn struggle into determination and determination into success,” she said.

JD(U) leader KC Tyagi, veteran actor Kabir Bedi, BRICS CCI Vice-President Sameep Shastri and BJP Maharashtra spokesperson Sagar Pandey, among others, were present at the event.
