Highlights of National Council, New Delhi

28, 29 January, 2008
Historical Decision:-
• The BJP has set a milestone in Indian politics by amending its constitution to make provision for 33 percent reservation for women in organisational posts. Party National Council approved a proposal in this regard with a Voice Vote.
• With this decision, one third of the posts in local, mandal, district, state and national executive of the party would be reserved for women. Provisions have also been made to make national and state president of the Mahila Morcha ex-officio members of the central and the state election committees.
Shri L.K. Advani:-
• The Leader of Opposition flayed Mr. Manmohan Singh stewardship, describing him as a weak and ineffective Prime Minister. As things stand, 7, Race Course Road, is not as important as 10, Janpath. He cited the left as another centre of authority.
• Describing the present arrangement as the "Kremlinisation of Indian" the BJP leader draw parallels from the time when the communists where ruling the Soviet Union, where the chairman of the communist party was accorded precedence over the country’s president.
Shri Rajnath Singh:-
• Government should legally define the term minority and appropriately determine in what spheres it would be applicable. UPA is communalising the development process.
• Demanded the setting up of a Real Estate Regulatory Authority. ( Interest rates on home loans, education and farm loans should be reduced )
• Government should investigate the possibility of terrorists using Indian stock markets to park their money.
• UPA Government humiliates the sentiments of the Hindus through its affidavit on Ram Sethu. ( Ram Rajya was the model projected by Mahatma Gandhi. Raghupathy Ragav Raja Ram was the daily prayer of Gandhiji. Such a faith on Ram was rediculed by the Congress in the ASI Affidavit. It is shameful )
Shri Narendra Modi:-
• Border security, communication network, finance and banking are the responsibility of the Central Government. If these three areas are secured, terrorism can be put under check.
