Committed to taking stringent steps to rid India of graft, nepotism: Narendra Modi on BJP’s foundation day
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said the BJP was committed to taking tough steps to rid India of corruption, nepotism and law and order challenges as he slammed people with a ”baadshahi” mindset for insulting the poor and backwards since the party stormed to power in 2014.

Addressing the BJP’s 44th Foundation Day celebrations, Modi cautioned against complacency among the party’s workers as he noted that it is being already said that no one can defeat it in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
On the auspicious day of Hanuman Jayanti, I pray for His blessings to all.
Today, India has been realising the great powers like that of Bajrang Bali, India has emerged much stronger to face the ocean-like big challenges.

”Despite being the world’s biggest political party, we don’t have to be complacent. People have already started saying that no one can defeat the BJP in 2024. This is true but as BJP workers we have to win the heart of every citizen of the country,” he said.
आज हम सभी अपनी पार्टी का स्थापना दिवस मना रहे हैं। मां भारती की सेवा में समर्पित प्रत्येक भाजपा कार्यकर्ता को मैं बहुत-बहुत बधाई देता हूं।

Modi slammed the Congress and other political parties which, he claimed, carried the culture of the main opposition party and accused them of being tied to nepotism, dynasty, casteism and regionalism.
The BJP represents a new culture of taking everyone along, he asserted.
आज हम देश के कोने-कोने में भगवान हनुमान जी की जन्म जयंती मना रहे हैं। हनुमान जी का जीवन और उनके जीवन के प्रमुख प्रसंग आज भी हमें पुरषार्थ के लिए प्रेरित करते हैं… भारत की विकास यात्रा के लिए प्रेरणा देते हैं।

Without referring to various allegations levelled by these parties against his government, the prime minister said they have been battling an existential crisis and resorting to levelling allegations and conspiracies against the ruling party. They are full of hate and frustration, he added.
”Today, they have become so desperate that they have openly started saying ‘Modi teri kabar khudegi’ (your grave will be dug),” he said, asserting the support of the poor, tribals, backwards, Dalits and women among others will continue to protect ‘lotus’ and help it bloom.
जब हनुमान जी को राक्षसों का सामना करना पड़ा था तो वो उतने ही कठोर भी हो गए थे।
इसी प्रकार से जब भ्रष्टाचार की बात आती है, जब परिवारवाद की बात आती है, कानून व्यवस्था की बात आती है तो भाजपा उतनी ही संकल्पबद्ध हो जाती है…

Lotus is the BJP’s election symbol.
These people with a ”baadshahi” (feudal) mindset treated others, especially the poor and deprived as slaves. But these people have been empowered by the BJP since 2014, he said.
”We should not be confined to winning polls. Our goal is to win over the hearts of crores of people. We have to fight every poll with the same hard work that we have put in since the time of Jana Sangh,” he said.
आज की मॉडर्न परिभाषा में जिस बात का बार बार जिक्र किया जाता है वो है- Can Do Attitude
अगर हनुमान जी का पूरा जीवन देखें तो डगर डगर पर Can Do Attitude की संकल्पशक्ति ने उनके लिए सफलता लाने में बहुत बड़ी भूमिका अदा करती है।

He drew parallels between Lord Hanuman, whose birth anniversary is being observed by the devouts on Thursday, to assert that the party believed in the ideals of selfless service.
India was realising its potential and strength after 2014 just like Lord Hanuman did after eliminating self-doubt, PM Modi said. ”If we see the whole life of Lord Hanuman, he had a ‘can-do’ attitude that helped him achieve big successes.” As Lord Hanuman took on demons fiercely, the government will also act stringently in ridding the country of ills like corruption, nepotism and law and order challenges, the prime minister added.
'Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat' has been the Mantra and goal for the Bharatiya Janata Party.
When the Jan Sangh was born, we had neither much political experience nor enough resources.

Opposition parties have accused the government of using probe agencies against their leaders on corruption charges as part of a political vendetta.
Modi cited the free ration scheme, health insurance and other welfare measures to assert that social justice was an article of faith for the BJP while other parties used to advance the interest of particular families without helping society.
आज भाजपा देश में एक नए पॉलिटिकल कल्चर का नेतृत्व कर रही है जबकि कांग्रेस और उसके ही जैसे अन्य दलों का कल्चर आप देख सकते हैं। परिवारवाद, वंशवाद, जातिवाद और क्षेत्रवाद के बंधक हैं ये सभी दल, जबकि भाजपा का पॉलिटिकल कल्चर प्रत्येक देशवासी को साथ लेकर चलने का है।#BJPSthapnaDiwas pic.twitter.com/OazFA1HSrt

While the BJP thought and dreamt big and then set out to dedicate itself to achieving these goals, opposition parties could though small, set small goals and patted each other on achieving even smaller targets. ”The BJP believes in dreaming big and achieving even bigger goals,” Modi said.
The Opposition parties never imagined that Article 370 would be history one day and they cannot digest the work BJP was doing in ushering peace and development, he said.
The prime minister stressed on using technology and training BJP workers in using social media in a better way and asked them to work in accordance with the party’s ideology and within the confines of India’s Constitution.
He said, ”The BJP has taken birth from the womb of democracy, and has been nourished and nurtured with the nectar of democracy.”
