Addressing

Mr Ramlal the youth, said that Prime Minister Mr Modi’s call to the youth to become a part of the mainstream politics was strictly intended to ‘ purify’ the political system as the youth vocally opposed corruption.

Mr Ramlal further called upon the youth to join politics with a resolve of service to the nation and building a corruption and nepotism- free society.

Mr Tiwari congratula­ted the youth present for the spirit with which they have come to thank the Prime Minister Mr Modi for his invite to the youth to take interest in political and administra­tive activities.

The Delhi party president assured them that the BJP works with a commitment towards the theory of the ‘ nation first, party interest second’.
