NAGPUR: The Bharatiya Janata Party was not established to make anyone the prime minister or the chief minister and hence never faced an internal division, said Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday.The senior BJP leader claimed that theirs is the only national party in the country’s history that has not experienced a split.Addressing his party workers during an event here to mark the 44th foundation day of the BJP, Fadnavis asked the cadres to work as the soldiers of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make India a developed country.From leaders like Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee, Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, LK Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi to PM Modi, all have worked to grow the party, he said.BJP leaders were never self-centred or selfish, Fadnavis said.”This party was never made for making anyone the prime minister or chief minister or any other post but was established to create an ideology that would serve the nation’s interests. This party always worked as per its ideology and never experienced divisions,” he claimed.In recent years, Bal Thackeray-established Shiv Sena and the Sharad Pawar-founded Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) witnessed divisions after internal turmoil.
