NEW DELHI:
Bharatiya Janata Party national president Jagat Prakash Nadda on Wednesday said the Lok Sabha polls were an election to fulfil the resolve of developed India.
Addressing a Panna Pramukh Sammelan on home turf in Bilaspur, which falls under Hamirpur parliamentary constituency, Nadda said, “While on one hand pandemic hit the whole world, war in Ukraine continued and the economy of world powers like the US, Europe, China, Russia faltered, but in these five years, India’s economy jumped from No. 11 to No. 5. With the blessings of the public, Narendra Modi will become the Prime Minister for the third time and India will become the third largest economy in the world.”
Nadda said all parties but the BJP compromised with their ideology, adding, “PM Modi made Jammu and Kashmir truly an integral part of India by abrogating Article 370 on 5 August 2019. The slogan for which our leader late Shyama Prasad Mukherjee sacrificed his life, today with the blessings of the people, ‘Ek Vidhan, Ek Nishan, ek Pradhan’ has been implemented.”
Invoking the Ram temple, he said, “For us, Ram Temple was not an issue of politics but an issue of our faith. Consecration of Ram Lala idol in the grand Ram temple finally took place on January 22.”
The leader said a new chapter of all-embracing and all-inclusive development, “Sabka Vishwas, Sabke Prayas”, had been set into motion, adding, “Now through GYAN, we are taking it a step further which means – development of the poor, progress of youth, welfare of food providers and women empowerment,”
The party’s national vice-president Saudan Singh, Union minister and Hamirpur candidate Anurag Thakur, BJP’s state unit president Rajeev Bindal and former chief minister Jai Ram Thakur and other senior party leaders were present at the event.
