The BJP’s new headquarters in New Delhi is bigger than the office of any other political party in the world, its president Amit Shah said. The office was inaugurated by PM Narendra Modi on Sunday.
Inaugurating the BJP’s new central headquarters at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg, away from New Delhi’s Lutyens’ Zone, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared Sunday that democracy was the party’s “core value”, which he said enabled it to take along its allies successfully. He asserted that the BJP and its forerunner Jan Sangh had since Independence led all agitations in national interest.
The new headquarters, with an area of over 1.70 lakh sq ft, is bigger than the office of any other political party in the world, its president Amit Shah said on Sunday. It was inaugurated by the PM in the presence of several former BJP chiefs, and a number of Union ministers and party office-bearers. Mr Shah said the BJP would have its own office in almost every district of the country within a year and noted that the party, at its national executive meeting in 2015, had decided to have an office in 635 of the country’s 694 districts.
With Mr Modi lauding Mr Shah and his team for building the multistoried three-tower premises in just 18 months, the BJP president said the new headquarters was fitted with the latest communication technologies and had a spacious office, from where the Prime Minister could even address a state executive meeting.
Mr Shah said as per his research with an area of over 1.70 lakh sq ft, the new office was bigger than that of any other party in the world.
