New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said the BJP is dedicated to โRashtra Bhakti (patriotism)โ but its rivals only knew โParivar Bhakti (nepotism)โ. Addressing party workers, he also referred to global pressure on India to take a stronger stand against Russiaโs Ukraine invasion and said in a polarised world, India had stood firm on its policy and had prioritised national interest.
The BJPโs foundation day was important for three reasons including the โfast-changing world and global orderโ, the Prime Minister said in a virtual address to the party on its big day.
โToday, the world is watching an India that remains firm on its interests without any fear or pressure. When the world is polarised between two rival forces, India is seen to be a nation that can talk about humanity with determination. Our government keeps national interest above all else,โ PM Modi said.
Among the reasons this Foundation Day was even more significant for the BJP was its recent election victories, the PM told party colleagues.
โA few weeks ago, the BJPโs โdouble-engine Sarkar (government)โ returned in four states. And after three decades any party has reached the 100-mark in Rajya Sabha,โ PM Modi said.
PM Modi did not miss the opportunity and once again hit out at โdynastic familiesโ, without naming the Congress or the Samajwadi Party, his chief targets in recent election rallies and public speeches.
โDynastic families are the biggest enemy of democracy,โ he said, adding that every BJP member should be proud that the party made it an electoral issue and was able to convince people of the dangers of dynastic politics.
Parties devoted to family rule had no regard for the constitution and covered up their corruption and misdeeds even though they may be active in different states, said the PM.
โAt the national level and in various states, there are some political parties who work only for the benefit of their families. These dynastic parties did not allow the countryโs youth to progress and always betrayed them,โ PM Modi remarked.
