Uttar Pradesh BJP general secretary Pankaj Singh on Sunday said it is "unfortunate" that the Pulwama terror attack is being politicised and urged political parties to keep their "individual flags" aside and stand together under the tricolour.
He also said the entry of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in Uttar Pradesh politics did not pose any challenge to the BJP.
The Congress last month had appointed Priyanka Gandhi the general secretary for Uttar Pradesh (East).
The BJP banks on the hardwork of its workers, vision of its leadership, and the party firmly believes in the ideology of nationalism, Singh said.
"It is very unfortunate that the Pulwama terror attack is being politicised by the opposition. In these circumstances, the nation expects from political parties to rise above party lines, keep their individual flags aside, and stand together under the national tricolour and hold on to it," Singh told PTI in an interview.
Dismissing any challenge to the BJP in the state, he said, "There is no challenge for us (BJP). I have already said that people in whom the common public and voter have lost their faith, they can never be a challenge for the BJP."
When asked on Samajwadi Party (SP) patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav's recent remarks on the SP-BSP pre-poll alliance, Singh said, "Presently, Mulayam Singhji is at a stage of life, where he has enough experience about different aspects of life and politics."
He said at this point, "he (Mulayam), too, must have realised that the progress and development of the country can be only ensured by the BJPs nationalistic approach and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's personality."
Throwing light on the national convention of the BJPs Kisan Morcha in Gorakhpur, Singh said, "This national convention of the BJP Kisan Morcha is among one the many programmes organised by the party."
