Family-run parties are regional now: Nadda
In an apparent reference to the Congress and other parties, national president JP Nadda said the BJP is the only political outfit that runs like a family while others are being run by families.
On a 2-day visit to Varanasi, the parliamentary constituency of PM Modi, Nadda quipped: “Family-run national parties have been reduced to regional outfits by people. The BJP is the only party which has become the family of the country. The party did not come to power to rule but with a duty to develop the country and serve its people.”
Inaugurating the party’s digital office at a prime location, Nadda said the party plans to construct 400 BJP offices across the country to fulfil Modiji’s dream. The BJP’s Varanasi office is the biggest in Purvanchal (East UP) and is equipped with all gadgets to function digitally.
On farmers, the BJP national president claimed only the Modi government has done a lot to increase their produce and income. “Kisan Samman Nidhi, Soil Card Scheme, interest free loans, electricity to all villages, Ayushman Card for healthcare are a few to quote which have contributed in improving their conditions,” he said.
“Even the Europe and the US could not battle the Covid19 pandemic but Modiji took the lockdown decision at the right moment to control the situation,” he claimed.
During his visit, Nadda will offer prayers at Kashi Vishwanath, Kaal Bhairav and other temples and will hold meetings with the BJP East UP office-bearers, IT Cell and others to take a pulse of the political situation in the run up to 2022 Assembly poll.
