“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,” he further added.
The Prime Minister also stressed that the BJP aims to take India towards the dream of “Viksit Bharat” while keeping the interests and well-being of the people at the centre of its vision.
“The BJP stands as a party that places the well-being of people at the centre of its vision. This is reflected in our work at the Centre and in various states. The 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 wrote.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah also extended greetings to party workers on the BJP’s Foundation Day, reiterating the party’s core mantra of “Nation First, Party Next, Self Last.”
In a post on X, Shah highlighted the BJP’s efforts in securing India’s borders, strengthening internal security, setting development benchmarks and reviving the country’s historical and cultural essence.
“Whether it is about securing the country’s borders, strengthening internal security, setting new benchmarks for development, or rekindling the historical essence and vital spirit of Indian culture — the BJP has exemplified all these resolutions through action. The BJP’s core mantra has always been clear — ‘Nation First, Party Next, Self Last’. With this very foundational spirit, every BJP worker is dedicated day and night to the service of the nation,” Shah wrote on X.
चाहे देश की सीमाओं को सुरक्षित करना हो, आंतरिक सुरक्षा को मजबूत बनाना हो, विकास के नए मानदंड स्थापित करना हो या भारतीय संस्कृति की ऐतिहासिकता और प्राण तत्व को पुन: जागृत करना हो – भाजपा ने अपने इन सभी संकल्पों को चरितार्थ करके दिखाया है।

Extending his greetings, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari hailed the party’s dedication and asserted that the BJP has been consistently working to make India self-reliant and progressive.
In a post on X, Gadkari wrote, “Heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to all the workers dedicated to the resolve of national service on the Founding Day of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Salutations to all the great souls who, with hard work and a dedicated spirit, have strengthened the party and organisation, making it a vast banyan tree. Under the leadership of Prime Minister @narendramodi, walking on the path of nationalist ideology, the BJP is continuously striving to make the country progressive and self-reliant.”
Earlier in the day, Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya also extended his greetings to BJP workers, praising their tireless efforts and dedication in shaping the party into “a symbol of trust”.
“Heartfelt congratulations on the Foundation Day of the Bharatiya Janata Party, nurtured by sacrifice, penance and dedication. Salutations to all those great luminaries of the party and to the millions of workers whose tireless efforts have made the BJP today a symbol of the trust of every individual,” he wrote on his X post.
The Bharatiya Janata Party traces its origins to the Jana Sangh, which merged with the Janata Party after the Emergency in 1977 with the aim of defeating the Congress. Later, questions of dual membership arose between RSS members and the Jana Sangh, with demands that either the Jana Sangh members leave the Janata Party or give up their membership of the RSS. The issue led to Jana Sangh members leaving the Janata Party and officially founding the BJP on April 6, 1980.
Since its formation, the BJP has produced two Prime Ministers — Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Narendra Modi.
