Our responsibility is that we should uproot political parties who indulge in politics of casteism, dynastic politics and appeasement. There is no place for such parties," he said.

Stay humble and do not get complacent, BJP chief Amit Shah on Tuesday told the party workers, while crediting them for its overwhelming victory in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.

The BJP workers need not feel relaxed or complacent and instead should make more efforts to improve party's prospects on the assembly seats and booths where it is weak, Shah said. He was addressing the state executive meeting of the BJP here on concluding day of its two-day meet, which was held for the first time after the saffron party stormed to power in the recent Assembly elections.

The BJP chief also urged the party workers to ensure that the works undertaken by them do not shrink but expand, while asking them to become accountable. "Our responsibility is that we should uproot political parties who indulge in politics of casteism, dynastic politics and appeasement. There is no place for such parties," he said.

Terming the BJP as a "party of patriots", Shah said, "The party workers must not sit back and relax, but make efforts to reachout those booths, where it is weak and tell people about the various welfare schemes initiated by the Centre and state governments, thereby increasing the membership of the party." Noting that there were 16,000 workers in the BJP, he said if one party worker decides to strengthen five booths, then the party would automatically reach to 80,000 booths. "The party workers must go the booth level and work with the dalits, the poor and the labourers, and tell them about the various welfare measures of the Centre and state government," said Shah, the BJP national president.

The people should be told how the party came up with the 'Lok Kalyan Sankalp Patra' before the UP assembly elections while working on 'sabka saath, sabka vikaas', Shah said."The BJP has not been given mandate so that its workers become MLA, MP, chief minister or minister, but to bring about a change. We have got a mandate to bring about a change, and we will change the scenario of UP," Shah said.

He also accused the previous government of not implementing the policies of the Centre for the fear that those schemes may boost the popularity of the BJP. "There is an atmosphere prevailing in the country under which people feel that the Yogi Adityanath government will work in the state like Modi government in the country," he said.

Lauding the hard work of the party workers, he said, "It is due to their toil that BJP which started as a 10-member party is now having 11 crore members, and is the largest political party in the world. It is because of the hardwork of the party workers that the party has formed government on its own strength in 14 states, while it shares power with allies in three states," he said.

The party has 282 MPs in Lok Sabha and 1,387 MLAs throughout the country, he pointed out. "But, the party workers should not feel relaxed or complacent and take steps to ensure that BJP makes inroads to each and every part of India," he said. After the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, people of UP wanted to get rid of casteism, dynastic politics and appeasement, and they have given a green signal by voting for the BJP, heralding a new era in the state, he said, and added that UP had been suffering from policy paralysis all these years.

"It is for these reasons that the BJP did not name its election yatras as 'Vijay Yatra' but called them 'Parivartan Yatra'. Our main aim was to help UP get free from the 15 years of misrule of SP and BSP. The Yogi government will do 'sabka saath, sabka vikaas', and we are seeing glimpses of this in the first few months," he added.
