PM Modi changed country's political culture in 10 years, says Nadda in Himachal

Prime Minister Narendra Modi changed the political culture of the country from politics of divide and rule to that of report card in the past 10 years with the mantra of ‘sabka saath, sabka vikas, sabka vishvas and sabka prayas’, BJP president JP Nadda said on Saturday (May 18).

Addressing a public rally at Rehan in the Kangra Lok Sabha constituency in support of BJP candidate Rajiv Bhardwaj, he said, “Politics of divide and rule was going on in the country for 70 years which has been converted in the past 10 years to the politics of report card, where the elected representatives have to show their performance.”

Dubbing the INDIA bloc an “alliance of families promoting dynastic politics and saving corrupt people”, Nadda said that leaders of this alliance facing corruption charges are either on bail or in jail, and added that corrupt leaders would go back to jail after the polls on June 1.

"Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is roaming with the Constitution written by BR Ambedkar, which clearly states no reservation in the name of religion but the Congress party in Andhra Pradesh tried four times to give reservation on the basis of religion and similar attempts are being made in Karnataka," he added.

Launching an attack on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Nadda said that Kejriwal used to sit on dharna in the Nirbhaya case but a woman was allegedly assaulted in his drawing room.

AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal was allegedly assaulted at the residence of CM Kejriwal a few days back.

When the economies of the USA and European countries were dwindling and the economy of China was retarding, India was looked upon as a "shining star and a ray of hope" with the economy jumping from 11th to 5th position.

Seeking votes for Bhardwaj, Nadda said that by ensuring the third term for PM Modi, India would become the third largest economy in the world in three years.
