PM Modi takes swipe at opposition over changing alliance name
Prime Minister Narendra Modi taking a swipe on the opposition over change in alliance name, asserted that though the opposition might have transformed UPA to INDIA it will nevertheless not be able to wash off its “sins of corruption and misgovernance”.
While addressing a meeting of 44 NDA MPs from the western part of Uttar Pradesh from upto the Kanpur-Bundelkhand region, according to PM Modi, the ruling alliance has been serving society and the country and receiving blessings of the people.
He asked MPs to go to people with positive message around the government’s work and advised them to spend maximum time about people to reach out to them.
Later he spoke to the alliance MPs from West Bengal, Odisha and Jharkhand at a similar meeting on the Parliament annexe.
The BJP has divided NDA MPs region-wise into clusters of nearly 40 MPs and Modi is expected to speak to them separately amid the ongoing Parliament’s monsoon session.
The first two meetings were held on Monday. The meetings have been organised to mark the NDA’s 25 years in existence and shape its strategy for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Apart PM Modi, Union ministers Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari and BJP president J P Nadda also addressed the meetings.
Although, there wasn’t any official word in the addresses of top BJP leaders, including Modi, sources reveal that they highlighted the government’s welfare measures and India’s growth in various sectors under this dispensation.
In his recent addresses to NDA leaders and BJP MPs the prime minister has expressed confidence on the ruling alliance retaining power at the Centre in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Last week PM Modi derided the opposition alliance INDIA as the most directionless the country had ever seen and cited reviled names such as East India Company and Indian Mujahideen to assert that people cannot be misled merely by the use of the country’s name.
