NEW DELHI: In a scathing attack on Opposition parties, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that some of the political outfits exploit small incidents for their vested interests.
“Some of the parties try hard to distract the country from main issues but we don’t have to fall into their trap. Attempts will be made to distract you from development issues but you have to stick with them,” said PM Modi while virtually addressing BJP national office bearers meeting in Jaipur. He further said that to save democracy, people have to make it value-based. “We have to continuously fight dynastic, family politics,” he said, adding “we have to stick to issues of development and national interest”.
The Prime Minister also asserted that dynastic politics is very dangerous for democracy and said that parivarvaad (dynastic) parties always depend on parivaar (family).
“If democracy is to be saved, it has to be empowered. Democracy has to be made value-oriented, then we have to fight relentlessly against this dynasty and family politics,” PM Modi added.
He also warned the BJP workers to stay away from the parties which are based on family politics and said they have damaged the country and lost valuable time.
“Since independence, dynasties have done damage to the country. Family parties have wasted a lot of valuable time of the country with corruption, rigging, and nepotism,” he added.
The Prime Minister said these familial parties are still bent on taking the country back, their public life starts with the family, runs for the family, and does it only for the sake of the family while adding that the BJP has to fight these family-based parties continuously.
Asks BJP workers to ensure no poor
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday asked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers to launch a campaign to ensure no poor, eligible beneficiaries are left out of the government’s welfare measures.
“Launch a campaign to ensure no poor, eligible beneficiary left out of govt’s welfare measures,” said PM Modi while virtually addressing BJP national office bearers meeting in Jaipur. Asking party workers to take a pledge to ensure that each one avails the benefits of the welfare schemes, Modi floated the slogan of “Har Ghar Bhajpa, har garib ka kalyan” and suggested that party workers should reach out to each household just like they do during polls.
PM Modi said that today even the poorest of the poor are seeing people around them getting the benefits of various government schemes. “Even the poor of the country today say with great confidence that one day, he/she will certainly get benefits of such schemes,” he added.
The Prime Minister further asked the party workers to make an effort that more and more people are connected with the BJP.
“We have to make another effort that is to connect more and more people with the BJP. Millions of members make us proud, but we still don’t have to stop. People of every region, people of every society, everyone should consider BJP as their own. They can see the reflection of their dreams in BJP, and see the power of their resolutions in BJP. BJP should be such a banyan tree that every person of the society sees their dreams in it,” said PM Modi.
He said that the party leaders and workers have to remember that only BJP can return the faith of the youth of the country who have been betrayed by the politics of family politics.
PM Modi says ‘worked for poor, balanced development’
As the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government led by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will be completing eight years in power this month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that the Centre has been dedicated to the welfare of the poor, balanced development, social justice and security.
“The NDA government will be completing eight years in power this month. These years have been dedicated to service of the nation, working for the welfare of the poor and the middle class along with ensuring social justice and security and women empowerment,” said PM Modi while virtually addressing the BJP national office bearers’ meeting in Jaipur. He further said that these eight years have been about fulfilling aspirations of small farmers, and middle class of the country.
PM Modi also said that the government has been working to enhance dignity of women of the country.
The Prime Minister also stressed that trust deficit existed in government before 2014. But the NDA government in the last eight years restored trust of the people by ensuring the robust delivery mechanism of the various schemes.
“Today even the poorest of the poor are getting benefits of various schemes. The poor of the country today say with great confidence that one day, he/she will certainly get benefits of such schemes,” said PM Modi.
The Prime Minister also hailed the BJP workers for the party’s victory in general elections and state polls.
“During Jan Sangh’s time, we were on the margins of the national politics and people hardly knew us. Despite that, our workers worked hard in their pursuit of nation-building,” said PM Modi. The NDA government at the Centre will be completing eight years in office on May 30. (ANI)
