PM Modi Points out BJPs Foundation Day Significance
Prime Minister Narendra Modi chose the foundation day of the BJP to outline the party’s policies and bash dynastic politics, without taking the name of any party. He also highlighted how India has maintained its neutral stand in the face of the global upheaval due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Here are some of the excerpts from what the PM had to say in his address on the BJP’s foundation day.
Modi said that the party is focused on ‘Rashtra Bhakti (patriotism),’ though all the oppositions of the party are only aware of ‘Parivar Bhakti (nepotism).’ while addressing his party workers, he referred to the global pressure on the nation to take a solid stand against Ukraine invasion by Russia. As per the PM, in this polarized world, India will stand firm on the existing policies and keep prioritizing national interest.
In his virtual address to the party on the day of celebration, the Prime Minister said that one of the reasons why this day was so important was the currently changing and new global order.
He said that the world now has its sights on India as the country takes a firm stand on its interests, minus any pressure or fear. While the world remains polarized between the two nations, India is seen as the country that puts humanity forward with conviction. He said that the Indian government has national interests in mind over everything else.
The PM also told his party colleagues that one of the factors that was making this foundation day even better was the recent election victories by the party. He said that it has been only a few weeks that the BJP government has come back in four states. He lauded his party saying that a party has managed to reach the 100-mark in Rajya Sabha after thirty years.
Finally, he started bashing the dynastic families in politics, without taking the names of the Samajwadi Party or the Congress – both his main targets in public speeches and election rallies recently.
The PM called dynastic families to be an enemy of democracy, while adding that all BJP members need to be proud that this was made an electoral issue and topic of discussion by the party. Modi said that the party has finally managed to convince people about the pitfalls of dynastic politics.
He said that the parties that are dedicated to family rule have zero regard for their constitution and they try to cover up the misdeeds and corruption even though such parties are active in a number of states.
Modi claimed that both in states and at the national level, there are a few political parties that work just for the benefit of the family. Such dynastic parties do not let the youth of the country move ahead and join politics.
Lastly, he stressed that the duty and responsibility of each BJP member is constantly increasing. Also, every worker in this party happens to be a representative of the collective dreams of the country, as per PM Modi.
