He called upon party workers to embrace this training with complete dedication, discipline, and introspection, and to honor the mission of Narendra Modi. By incorporating the thoughts of Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay and revered Atal Bihari Vajpayee in our conduct, we should move forward with more determination on the path of organization and national service.

Billawaria further added that Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee fourght to achieve “Ek Pradhaan, Ek Nishan, Ek Samvidhan” while the Integral humanism of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay teaches us that the center of politics is not power, but the person standing in the last row.

He remembered the words of Atal ji as "I would not like to touch the power with a pair of tongs, which is achieved through party splits or unethical alliances." Therefore, this training is also a powerful means of awakening social sensitivity and a sense of responsibility among workers, and that too with a spirit of service, dedication, and harmony, Billawaria added.

Baldev Billawaria further expressed confidence that this mega campaign will further strengthen organizational unity and provide workers with new energy and clarity in fulfilling their upcoming responsibilities.
