Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) working president JP Nadda today said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government brought “good days” in the last five years, adding that India witnessed a tremendous change in the last five years.
Issuing clarity on “Congress-mukt Bharat”, the BJP working president said that when the party talks about it, it means it wants a country free of corruption.
“‘Achhe din ayenge’ (good days will come) and ‘Desh badal raha hai’ (the country is changing) were the slogans of the BJP’s campaign in 2014. We would like to remind the people that good days have arrived and the country has already changed in the last five years,” PTI quoted him as saying.
Addressing the BJP’s Maharashtra state executive committee meeting in Mumbai, he highlighted the Centre’s achievements in the health sector, poverty elevation, infrastructure, agriculture and rural development.
Crediting the prime minister for changing the “political culture” of the country, Nadda said that under his leadership, the party focused on the development and work at the grassroots level.
Modi’s victories in 2014 and 2019 are a rejection of the vote bank and caste politics, he said, advising the BJP workers to “look globally, act locally”.
Attributing India’s rising graph at the world stage to PM Modi he said that before 2014, the country was looked upon as corrupt with a foreign policy that was not only paralysed but also lacked direction. However, now the people of Indian origin living abroad feel proud to be Indians.
Pointing out at multiple awards conferred to the PM, he called it an achievement saying that countries like the UAE, Israel, Russia and Saudi Arabia recognised PM’s contribution in expanding bilateral ties.
PM Modi was recently named the world’s most admired Indian according to a survey by YouGov – a UK-based internet market research and data analytics firm.
Apart from the PM, cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni, industrialist Ratan Tata, star of the millennium Amitabh Bachchan, cricket legend blaster Sachin Tendulkar, Indian captain Virat Kohli, and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan also found mention in the list.
PM Narendra Modi-led BJP secured a massive victory in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections winning 303 seats on its own while the Congress under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi won 52 seats.
Rahul Gandhi himself was defeated by BJP’s Smriti Irani in his home turf Amethi.
