PM: Don’t get carried away

ON CONTROVERSIAL utterances, Mr Modi said some leaders got carried away when in front of a mike and added that silence was a better attribute.

The National Executive of the BJP on Sunday adopted two resolutions during its two-day deliberations that concluded with the address of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A political resolution was adopted expressing gratitude to Mr Modi for the allaround development in the country and success of the party in UP, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur assembly polls.

In a reference to controversial comments made by party leaders, Mr Modi said some of them often got carried away when in front of a mike and added that silence was a better attribute.

It is more difficult to deal with a victory than a loss as many people turn up to advise a loser but not a winner who could get carried away,” he said. Many BJP leaders have been accused of making provocative statements following the party’s recent win in Assembly elections.

The BJP National Executive on Sunday hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the NDA government for initiating a bill in the Parliament to grant constitutional status to the Other Backward Classes Commission (OBC Commission) and condemned the main opposition Congress for blocking the bill in Rajya Sabha.

The National Executive adopted two resolutions during its two-day deliberations that concluded in the evening with the address of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A political resolution was adopted expressing gratitude to the Prime Minister Modi for the all-around development in the country and success of the party in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur assembly polls.

Earlier, Narendra Modi called for taking a “long jump” towards building a new India by 2022 as he insisted on socio-economic transformation dominating the national discourse. Reaffirming his commitment to development, Modi stressed on P2 G2 (pro-people proactive good governance) agenda for the BJP and its governments.

Briefing reporters about the resolution on OBC Commission, Union human resource development minister Prakash Javadekar said people belonging to OBCs have been demanding constitutional status to the OBC Commission for over 30 years, but the Congress did not do it as it preferred vote bank politics.
