This was the clear message to Haryana BJP workers, assembled for Shakti Sammelan, a one-day State workers' convention, recently held at Rohtak. The tone and tenor of the speeches by top party leaders also gave a clear indication that the BJP would not in future play second fiddle to any other party in the State. The star speaker and Union Home Minister Shri L.K. Advani, while accounting the party's record of ups and downs faced by the BJP in the last 50 years, called upon them not to develop any inferiority complex and challenged the workers to prove themselves in the coming days. About the criticism of the party for leaving aside certain issues to get power, Shri Advani said the BJP had never compromised on principles and policies and will not do so in future. Shri Advani reiterated the NDA commitment that a high-powered commission would be set up to review the Constitution to prepare it for the next 50 years, adding that the commission would also recommend amendments, wherever required. The commission, he said, would look into population explosion, caste reservations, etc. He added that the future of the BJP in Haryana would depend upon winning elections as well as gaining the confidence of the common man, emphasizing that winning elections alone will not suffice. The General Secretary of BJP and in-charge of Haryana affairs Shri Narendra Modi stressed the need for mobilizing youth and establishing rapport with farmers and workers. He called for a fresh approach to reach out to the masses. More than 7,000 party workers participated in the Sammelan, which proved an impressive show of strength. **H.P. asks Centre to set-up National level committee on tax structure and reforms** From Our Correspondent HIMACHAL Pradesh Chief Minister Professor Prem Kumar Dhumal has requested the Centre to set-up a national-level committee under the chairmanship of the Prime Minister Shri Atal Behari Vajpayee, to evolve consensus on tax reforms, user charges, and tax structures to be uniformly applicable throughout the country to check tax rate wars and populism among various States in the country. Speaking at the Chief Ministers' and State Finance Ministers' conference at New Delhi on November 16, he suggested that at least four taxation zones should be created so that the States failing to raise revenue could have uniform tax structure. Prof Dhumal also demanded that the present rate of central sales tax (CST) should be reduced, and revenue generated should be increased. He regretted that development activities in the State had come to a standstill. The agriculture sector was facing an acute shortage of power and water. Nearly seventy-five thousand new tube well connections were pending, and the State was not getting SYL canal water. He also called for financing new agricultural projects to mitigate the suffering of farmers. --- This is a summary of the text extracted from the image.
