Prime Minister Narendra Modi exhorted the BJP cadre to set their nose to the grindstone for the next 100 days to win the confidence of voters for a third successive term. He added that it was imperative that the BJP be elected back into power as the next five years were crucial for the progress of the country.
Delivering the valedictory address at the BJP national Council meeting being held in New Delhi, Mr. Modi said that his attitude to power was like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj: “I am not someone who lives for his own happiness. I am advocating for a third term for the BJP not for political gains, but for the benefit of India. My efforts are dedicated to the people of India. The dreams of Indians are my commitments.”
He added that the next five years would be crucial for India’s journey. “We have to take a big leap towards ‘Viksit Bharat’ [Developed India]. The first imperative is to ensure the return of the BJP to power in strong numbers,” he said.
