Observing that casteism prospers when nationalist forces weaken, BJP's Lok Sabha nominee from Pilibhit in Uttar Pradesh Varun Gandhi on Monday vowed to revive the party and the nationalist thinking in the State.
"Whenever nationalsim took a backseat in Uttar Pradesh, the State got entangled in the problem of casteism. And I would not allow the voices of nationalism weaken in the State," Varun said addressing a poll rally here in support of the party's candidate from Bahraich Lok Sabha seat Akshaybar Lal Gaur.
Apparently targeting the Congress, Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party, the young BJP leader said, "The lessons of non-violence are not bad, but non-violence does not mean spinelessness and losing ones self-respect."
Describing the BJP as the only nationalist party, he said his efforts to revive it and the nationalist outlook will continue even after the elections are over.
<b>"If anyone dares speak of nationalism in parties like the SP, BSP or the Congress, he is shown the door,"</b> he said and promised to inculcate nationalist thinking even at the village level.
In a passing reference to his days at Etah jail he said he came to Bahraich in support of Gaur as the jail pharmacisist gave a positive feedback on him and asked the voters to give a clear mandate in favour of the BJP.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
