The Uday Bharatam Party was recently launched with a grand inauguration at the Ambedkar International Centre in Delhi. The event drew an impressive gathering of prominent figures from diverse sectors across Delhi-NCR. National President Rajendra Prasad Paladugu, along with Delhi State President Uday Sahay, unveiled the party’s mission and future aspirations, outlining a fresh vision for political change.
In an exclusive conversation with The Interview World, Uday Sahay, Delhi State President, delves into the compelling reasons behind the formation of the Uday Bharatam Party. He elaborates on the party’s core philosophy, distinguishes its approach from conventional political entities, and offers his perspective on the prevailing political landscape in India. Here are the highlights from this insightful discussion.
Q: What motivated the establishment of the Uday Bharatam Party, considering the presence of numerous existing political parties in the country?
A: The need for the Uday Bharatam Party arises from the disillusionment with the current political landscape, where leaders of major parties are solely fixated on power. Their primary agenda is not the progress of the nation, but the relentless pursuit of authority. One party dominated the country for nearly 70 years, focusing on appeasement and promoting dynastic politics. Meanwhile, another leveraged religious polarization and extreme exclusivity as a means to secure power.
Years ago, a new party emerged with promises to eradicate corruption, yet over time, their actions betrayed their rhetoric. Leaders who once vowed to fight corruption now face legal charges themselves. Under their governance, bureaucracy has flourished unchecked, while a culture of distributing freebies has led to public dependency and helplessness.
These circumstances underscore the urgency to establish a political party that breaks away from the flawed practices of existing parties in India. The Uday Bharatam Party is a fresh, transformative force, committed to prioritizing the genuine development of the nation over mere power games.
Q: What is the core philosophy that defines the Uday Bharatam Party?
A: The Uday Bharatam Party’s philosophy is deeply rooted in the essence of Bharat (India). Embracing a centrist ideology, the party aims to steer the nation in a bold, new direction. At the heart of its vision lies the timeless Sanatan (eternal) culture of India, which has safeguarded this ancient civilization for thousands of years. Every Indian takes pride in this rich cultural heritage and diversity. Unlike many parties, Uday Bharatam does not align itself with any single religion. Instead, it champions Sanatan—a belief that nature itself is our religion. Drawing wisdom from India’s ancient civilization, the party blends this legacy with centrist ideals to forge a progressive path forward.
The party’s vision is clear: real change cannot be achieved through empty slogans. Transforming a nation requires a fundamental shift in its system. Today, none of the existing political parties offer a genuine roadmap for meaningful change; they merely propose small, incremental adjustments. In contrast, Uday Bharatam advocates for structural, even seismic, reforms to overhaul the system. To achieve this, the party plans to engage with experts from around the world who have successfully reformed their own national systems.
Q: In what key ways does the Uday Bharatam Party distinguish itself from other political parties?
A: Our ideology is centered on creating a prosperous and developed Bharat. We are not advocating for quick fixes but are committed to implementing deep, structural, and organizational reforms. Our goal is to establish transparency and accountability within the executive and legislative branches.
Since independence, the people of India have endured hunger, unemployment, illiteracy, and a pervasive sense of helplessness. Securing a brighter future for them is our top priority. Both citizens within India and the Indian diaspora share a growing concern for the nation’s progress. They are eager to contribute to this vision of transformation. These pressing challenges have awakened their conscience, compelling them to step into the political arena. For us, this is not just a mission—it is our dharma (duty).
Q: What is your perspective on the current political landscape in India?
A: Caste, religion, region, dynastic politics, and language have become instruments of division, exploited by leaders of both national and regional parties to cling to power. Meanwhile, the lives of ordinary citizens remain unchanged. The Uday Bharatam Party is committed to driving real change, recognizing that the nation’s progress hinges on uplifting those at the very bottom of society.
As we move deeper into the 21st century, India needs a political force to craft national policies aligned with the realities of an evolving world. Rapid technological advancements are reshaping the global landscape, yet the socio-economic impacts remain largely unknown to our citizens. Mainstream political parties fail to educate the public on these critical issues. Instead, they treat voters as mere numbers, manipulating them with money, addiction, and freebies, thus stripping away their most fundamental democratic rights.
The Uday Bharatam Party is ready to bridge this gap. We aim to develop policies that embrace technological advancements and protect citizens from potential risks. Our vision is to empower every Indian with the knowledge and tools needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
