Speaking as a BJP campaigner for the party cadre in Goa, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari stressed the BJP’s identity and warned against the mistakes that led to the Congress’s overthrow.
Speaking at the state BJP executive meeting, Gadkari dwelt on the fact that the BJP preached and practised a different model that the party’s founder and then deputy Prime Minister L. K. Advani popularized when he once uttered, ‘The BJP is a party with a difference.
Banerjee said Advani Ji used to say that we are a party with differences. We must understand how much we are different from other political parties. Gadkari said that the BJP must remain what it is.
Speaking to party workers, the Union Minister said that the party must learn from the past and avoid repeating such mistakes; otherwise, the change of guards would be irrelevant. Pointing out that politics is a process of organizing changes in the social and economic structure, he exhorted the young party workers to be prepared to steer the change.
Gadkari also commented on the issue of vote bank politics, which is especially practised along the lines of caste politics in Maharashtra. This row has not been followed by me I have said to people I will not do caste politics, those who speak about castes will be kicked out of power.
To strike a blow to the caste system, Gadkari pronounced that nothing is bigger than a person’s dignity, and even if one is born in a ‘low’ caste, he should work hard enough to acquire three values—honesty, hard work, and punctuality—so that people start recognising him by the values he holds.

He analysed Goa as a state, asked the party cadres to go to every constituency, and asked to strengthen the organization as he set his sights on the BJP coming to power in the next assembly election of 2027.
