BHARAT
VIKAS PARISHAD IS NON-POLITICAL
It has no political
aims or ambitions. It has no links with any
political or, for that matter, with any other
organization. As individuals, its members are
free to hold political views of their own, so
long as their views do not come into conflict
with the ideals of the Parishad. But no
member, howsoever high in Parishad hierarchy,
can be permitted to involve the Parishad in any
programme and activity motivated by political or
likely to serve the political interest of any
political party or individual. The lure of
political power is too great to resist and some
active and dynamic members are sometimes caught
in its web. This not only reduces their utility
to the Parishad but virtually makes them a
liability, because instead of serving the
organisation they want the organisation to serve
them in the fulfillment of their political
ambitions. Therefore, Bharat Vikas Parishad not
only keeps itself strictly aloof from politics
but denies political activists any significant
role in the organisation.

English translation of letter dated 3rd September,
2005 written in Hindi by Dr. Laxmi Mall Singhvi, Chief Patron to Shri
I.D. Ojha, National Secretary General
"I framed the Constitution of B.V.P.
By visualizing the varied dimensions of this organisation, I was
clear on one point that it will be an independent organisation
in which the enrolment and participation of every Indian citizen
will be possible and easy. I gave this clarification even
to Shri Hans Raj Gupta and Shri Rajinder Singh, which was
readily accepted by them. It is a fact that few workers of
RSS were the members of B.V.P., but it will be irrelevant to
disqualify them on this basis alone. The Parishad has its
own Constitution, Oath and a Code of Conduct. The fact is
that I accepted the Presidentship and the Chief Patronship of
this organisation only on the condition that this organisation
will be self-contained, independent and will not work under the
guidance of any other organisation. The only basis of B.V.P. is
Indianness."
Dr. L.M. Singhvi
