Political leaders are important elements of any society and they play an instrumental role by serving as a link between the government and their people. They help foster the relationships of the general public with the government by listening to their grievances and resolving them using their and the government’s resources. They have a major role in enhancing the well-being and quality of living of people in a societal structure.
Leadership is more than just showing up on the election-day, or trying to appear in the limelight, but it is developing relationships with people and helping them live their best lives. It is analyzing a situation and devising an effective plan to benefit people. It is also looking years down the line and deciding on what has to be done right now to enhance the lives of the people of the nation.
Those who are looking to bring about a change, never look for the power or position. Their sole agenda is to serve and create opportunities for the nation and its youth to work for the better. They seek no pleasure in gaining popularity or fame but they are driven by their innate conviction to bring about a positive change.
A true leader is a change-maker. However, these are some of the defining signs of a political leader:
A true leader focuses on collaboration and mutual development instead of someone who has notions to get what he wants using unethical means. Coercion and negotiation are often necessary (in worse scenarios). The right leader would always prioritize peaceful means at first.

Our country, India has strongly built its foundation on resilience and perseverance. As a result it has stayed as is even after many cultural and military invasions as opposed to many civilizations losing their identity and sometimes even existence.
Retaining its idea and culture, India kept its feet firmly planted to the ground after all these invasionary storms. BJP is the flag-bearer of maintaining the essence of cultural Hindutva and has emerged to become that socio-political unit to do the same for the years to come.
The BJP and the Sangh family practice the Hindu concept of fraternity and make no difference among themselves, regardless of the person’s individual creeds. Hindutva is inclusive and includes all of those who practice the Indian culture and are the proponents of everything secular and inclusive.Hindutva has been the very spirit that serves as the knot in Indian secularism and culture’s vivid tapestry. We embrace the culture and thus, open arms to all of them who preach and practice the same.
This ever beautiful sentiment lays the ground for our Political work too. Under Shyama Prasad and Deen Dayal Upadhyay’s able guidance and leadership, Bharatiya Jana Sangh was formed to protect the cultural fabric of our nation from the communal and Marxist forces. It became the focal social and political voice for a lot of Hindutva proponents in the country.
The BJP started taking shape during the ever tyrannical throes of the emergency period of 1970. Herein, the Bhartiya Jana Sangh moulded into Bhartiya Janta Party.
The struggles of the BJP and its role in undoing the tyranny of the emergency ushered a phase of political pluralism, in which the BJP emerged as a significant alternative to the existing Congress P primarily led by one family The party worked a great deal to undo a lot of damage that was done because of the dreadful period of emergency and happened to become a competition to the then-leader, the Congress. Our party managed to get only two seats in the Parliament of 1984.
BJP then became a party to bash pseudo-secularism and outdated centrist policies to make India ready for development gearing-up in the 21st century. The country has always favoured the party for being a change driver in times of requirement.
With our work, we have worked and will continue to present the righteous facts to make every Indian be equal in the eyes of the law. Thanks to the outburst of westernization and globalization that we have seen in the past couple of decades, we cannot retain the world’s oldest civilization, that is India’s.
We work to retain the cultural, administrative, social, and national identity within the country.
In 1998, a dream came to fruition with Shri Vajpayee being installed in the prime minister office since it was always the party’s intent to create a more united, culturally and globally strong front. The much-needed conversations and the measures required for long viz., a ban on religious conversions, came into existence.
Many controversial issues such as the resolution of the Kashmir addressing Kashmir’s full territorial integration into India. Or be it strengthening cultural pride in India’s glories; or modelling Indian society based on integral humanism, which stems from ancient Hindu scriptures of putting the human at the forefront of governance and administration. Ever since this has come into the picture, we have started and stopped having conversations that were needed to have encouraged what Hinduism and Indian culture essentially engulf.
