India needs two-party system, must get rid of dynasty-oriented parties: LG

Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir Manoj Sinha on Sunday advocated for a two-party system in the country and said a big democracy such as India can only flourish if it gets rid of casteist and dynasty-oriented parties.

Sinha was addressing the birth anniversary celebrations of Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya at the Mahamana Madan Mohan Malviya Inter College in Sikhari village 30 kilometers from the district headquarters.
During the event, he paid floral tributes to Malviya and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

He said Modi is trying to bring about a two-party system in the country, a work that was started by Vajpayee during his tenure as Prime Minister.

Modi is getting full cooperation from the party workers and the public in this pursuit, he said.
Sinha also said that Modi is working for the development of Dalits, backwards, and tribals.

“Modi ji is fulfilling the dreams of Mahamana Malviya ji and also making an India as envisaged by Atal ji,” he said.
Earlier, Sinha on Sunday paid tributes to former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on his birth anniversary, which is celebrated as the ‘Good Governance Day’.

In a message, the Lieutenant Governor said “humble tributes to Atalji. As a statesman and able administrator, Atalji kept the nation first. His visible presence in Indian politics for more than six decades shaped India’s future and raised India’s global stature”.

“Atalji strongly believed in people-centric governance and equal opportunities to the people. He ensured economic and social justice fully reaches to the people and they become partners in the system. Under his leadership, India became stronger both economically and socially,” he said.

On this day, the Lt Governor said “let us reaffirm our pledge to work for the realization of the dream of making India a developed nation.”

In a separate message, Sinha also paid tributes to Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya on his 161st birth anniversary.

“Tributes to Mahamana Pt. Madan Mohan Malaviya Ji. A statesman, educationist, social reformer & legislator, Mahamana’s contribution to the making of modern India has been immense. He was one of the foremost architects of industrialization and dedicated his whole life in the service of the nation,” he said.
The Lieutenant Governor said, as an educationist and leader of the Indian National Movement, Mahamana created a modern template of education and polity which has nourished the holistic vision of nationalism and Indian values for many generations.

“He laid great emphasis on women’s education and empowerment and it should inspire us to redouble our efforts in this regard. On this occasion, I urge youth to imbibe wisdom from the valued teachings of Mahamana and strive to translate his ideals into action,” the Lt Governor said.
