New Delhi: BJP national president Nitin Nabin on Saturday took a veiled dig at the CJP protest, saying “some people sitting abroad think they can decide the direction of India’s youth,” further alleging that it was pushing them into “negative politics”.“ “Today’s youth want to work to build the country, want to work to secure their future,” Nabeen said while addressing an intellectuals’ conference in Ranchi, according to a post from the BJP’s official X account.He said, “But some people have termed the youth of this country as anti-incumbency. Those who want to drag the youth of this country into negative politics, I warn them that the youth of India will join positive politics.”He said, “Some people sitting abroad think that they will give direction to the youth of India.”The BJP chief further said that the party would oppose such steps through democratic means, adding that “we will protest on the basis of democracy, but we will not allow the standards of democracy to be destroyed.”He said, “The youth of India will not move ahead by becoming puppets in the hands of a few people.”Nabin also highlighted the importance of farmers in India’s development and said, “I accept that the biggest contribution to this country and to the progress of this country is our farmers. They say that if the farmer is happy, there is prosperity in the house, and there is harmony too.”He said, “Our government has a very clear plan towards farmers. We do not want to keep farmers only as beneficiaries.” He said the government aims to improve agricultural outcomes and double the income of farmers.His comments came during a two-day organizational visit to Jharkhand, his first visit to the state after becoming the BJP national president. During the visit, he participated in party meetings and outreach programs aimed at strengthening the organization ahead of the upcoming elections.Earlier in the day, Nabeen chaired a meeting of BJP MPs and MLAs at the state party office in Ranchi after arriving at the airport, where he was given a grand welcome.Paying tribute to tribal icon Birsa Munda at Birsa Chowk, he said, “Visiting Jharkhand is like coming home for me.”On the second day of his visit, he is scheduled to visit Bokaro Steel City and later meet party workers and leaders at several places, including the residence of state BJP president Aditya Sahu.
