- When I was not in politics, at the time of Jana Sangh, our workers used to paint ‘diya’ (symbol of Jana Sangh) on walls with enthusiasm… and leaders of several political parties used to mock, saying that one cannot reach the corridors of power by painting ‘diyas’ on walls. We are those who painted ‘lotus’ on walls with such confidence that we knew, one day the ‘lotus’ painted on walls will be painted on hearts of the people, PM Modi said.
- PM Modi urges BJP members to make border villages fortress for party.
- Some people have been making fun of us… when we had just two members in the Parliament, then also we were mocked. Some people’s character is like this and they feel that by doing this they become big…” the prime minister said.
- Today the poor people of the country have greatest faith in the results of our policies, decisions and the paths we have adopted. Therefore, we have to move forward with that strength. I am confident that this membership campaign will break all old records, the prime said.
- If this 33% reservation for women is going to come in this period, then I will include all those people in my membership campaign, who can make maximum number of women victorious and make them MLAs and MPs,” PM Modi said.
Talking about the struggle of common workers in growth of BJP, the PM Modi said, “Our party workers used to protest against the those in power for the issues of people. So they kept going to and coming out of jail. 50 years ago, People of Jan Sangh were doing ‘Satyagraha’ in Ahmedabad and so many people were jailed just for agitating. One of the women workers who went to jail, spent a month in jail with her 9-month-old baby. That’s how BJP reached here…and those people who committed this crime…they had so much greed for power.”
“Nobody can deny the truth that due to the differences between the words and deeds of politicians, people’s trust in India’s politics and politicians has decreased…The crisis of credibility that arose due to it was accepted as a challenge by PM Narendra Modi…PM Modi has always urged that manifesto should be carefully prepared, it should not be that we are unable to fulfill what we are saying. There should not be nay difference between our words and deeds…” Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said.
