Jaipur:
Work with humility and do not let power change your attitude. Strong, blunt and brusque was the message delivered by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Nitin Nabin to senior party leaders who met him at Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal’s residence for a breakfast meeting in Jaipur at 9.50 am.
In attendance were MLAs, MPs, senior party leaders, election in-charges and the newly inducted prabharis for Rajasthan — Sanjay Bhatia and Kavita Patidar.
“We are in a party that is in power, or in sarkar,” Nitin Nabin is believed to have told party leaders in no uncertain terms. It is important to beware of the trappings of power and meet people with humility, as you did before, he said, warning that the trappings of power can be dangerous.
“When anti-incumbency will set in, those in power won’t realise it,” he cautioned. The arrogance of power “can invite trouble”, he warned. It was a tough message delivered over a breakfast meeting, not open to the press, that featured Rajasthani delicacies such as kachoris and pakodas and the famous Rajasthani breakfast sweet, jalebi.
From 9.50 am to 11.30 am, sources say Nitin Nabin pulled no punches. The urban local body polls had been won, but it was now time to prepare for the panchayat elections
