BJP plans to go whole hog against Opposition on corruption, dynasty
Modi readies party and allies for 3rd term as INDIA bloc attempts to project a united force
NEW DELHI: As the battle lines for the Lok Sabha elections have been drawn with the announcement of the 7-phase polls, the BJP is learnt to have suggested its NDA allies take on the Opposition on corruption, nepotism, dynastic and appeasement politics.
“A public movement needs to be raised against corruption being encouraged by the Opposition. Equally strongly, we must make the people aware as to how the Opposition has been misleading the people by wrongly trusting their leaders for decades. We should expose them on issues that plagued the country’s economy and governance for a long time,” remarked a senior BJP leader.
He said the Modi government’s performance in the past 10 years has reflected a vision to make India ‘Viksit-Bharat’ by 2047. Party sources said the track record of good governance coupled with records of performances in all sectors would be the USP for NDA in seeking the third term with more than 400 seats.
As the NDA mascot, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared on X, “The biggest festival of democracy is here! EC has announced the 2024 Lok Sabha election dates. We, the BJP-led NDA, are fully prepared. We are going to the people based on our track record of good governance and service delivery across sectors.”
In another post, Modi spoke about a roadmap for the future of the country. “I can see that the coming five years will be about our collective resolve of establishing the road map that will guide our trajectory as a nation for the next thousand years and make India the embodiment of global leadership”.
Expecting the youth, women and the poor to support him for the third term, Modi said he derived strength from people’s blessings, including women, youth and farmers.
“When they say ‘mai Modi ka parivar’ it fills me with joy and makes me work harder to build a Viksit-Bharat. This is the era to make it happen and together we will – ye hi samay hai, sahi samay hai (this is the right time),” Modi wrote.
In a swipe at the Opposition, Modi termed it “rudderless and issueless.” “All they can do is abuse us and practise vote-bank politics. Their dynastic approach and attempts to divide society are not being accepted. Equally hurting them is their corruption track record. People don’t want such a leadership,” Modi said.
Meanwhile, BJP’s principal poll strategist Amit Shah said: “ PM Modi has demonstrated a fierce commitment to development by ending the politics of dynasty, corruption, appeasement from the country’s political system and focusing on the development of all sections.”
The BJP is working hard to make its presence felt well in South India. In recent times, the PM has travelled across southern states more than 20 times.
