PM Modi
Addressing the BJP workers in the party headquarters in Delhi after marking a significant win in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi referred to his party's victory as the “victory of self-reliant India”.
Here are the key highlights from his address:
Respect for the People's Mandate
PM Modi began his speech by expressing deep respect for the decision of the voters, especially acknowledging the role of women, youth, farmers, and the underprivileged in this electoral victory.
He stated, "I bow before the decision of my mothers, sisters, daughters, young friends, farmer friends, and poor families."
Youth and Development
Emphasising the youth's desire for development, PM Modi pointed out the downfall of governments that worked against the interests of the young.
He highlighted the issues of paper leaks and recruitment scams in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, and Telangana, which led to the incumbent governments' defeat.
BJP's Appeal to the Youth
The Prime Minister asserted that the youth of the country increasingly trust the BJP to understand and work towards fulfilling their aspirations, recognising the party's youth-friendly policies and initiatives to create new opportunities.
Praise for BJP Workers
PM Modi commended the dedication and loyalty of BJP workers in every state, praising their efforts in promoting the message of the 'Double Engine Government' - a term used to describe the synergy between the central and state governments led by BJP.
The PM stressed that the election results would resonate beyond Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh, influencing global perceptions of India's development trajectory and boosting investor confidence worldwide.
A Lesson for the Opposition
PM Modi criticised the opposition, particularly the Congress and its allies, for their reliance on dynastic politics. He advised them against engaging in divisive and anti-national politics, urging a focus on national service.
Call to BJP Workers
The Prime Minister urged every BJP worker to use the NaMo app to enlist at least ten people as ambassadors of a developed India, emphasizing the need to nurture a generation committed to the nation's development.
Modi's Guarantee
In a powerful statement, PM Modi declared that his guarantees in the state elections will become the guarantee of country's success, adding, "This is Modi's guarantee".
"Where expectations from others end, that's where Modi's guarantee begins," he added.
Critique of Dynastic Politics
PM Modi took a sharp jab at the opposition, stating that mere photo opportunities and stage appearances of a few dynasts cannot win the trust of the nation.
2024 Lok Sabha Elections
In a confident assertion, Modi hinted at the BJP's prospects in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, suggesting that the recent victories are a precursor to another triumphant hat-trick in the national elections.
