JAMMU, Apr 22
Asserting that the ongoing Lok Sabha elections are a significant milestone in India’s democratic journey, embodying the aspirations and voices of millions of electors, Senior BJP leader today said that the Congress won’t cross the 40 mark given its dubious role in the Indian polity and anti-people policies during the past over seven decades.
Addressing various Nukkad meetings in Amb-Ghrota and Mathwar Mandal along with DDC Chairman Bharat Bhushan, Som Nath Khajuria, Zorawar Singh Jamwal, Ex-Sarpanchs, Anwar Khan, Sanjeev Singh, Anjali Sharma, Ravinder Singh (Peter), Balbir Singh, Ashwani Kumar Bhagat, Nakshatar Singh, Ex- BDC Member Sushma Sharma, Kuldeep Singh Langeh, Bhagwan Dass Sharma , Ashok Kerni, Rekha Langeh, Dayal Singh Lucky, Tejpal Singh, Kabla Singh, Arun Partap Singh, Ajay Gupta, Sanjay Gupta and others, Mr Devender Rana said the Congress has lost whatever little credibility it had decades ago due to rudderless leadership that has remained active in corruption, nepotism and promoting dynastic culture at the cost of public welfare.
He came down heavily on the appeasement policy of the Congress and said that the grand old party has t been exploiting its vote bank, which is being remembered during the times of elections.
Practically the Congress has done nothing for them and it is only the BJP that pursues its development and welfare agenda as per Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas. This mantra has already galvanized the people, with whose blessings, the nation has ushered in a new age of peace, progress and prosperity for the nation, he added.
Mr Rana said the chronic misrule and the negative politics is going to reduce the Congress tally in the new Lok Sabha below 40, an all time low since independence.
The Congress, he said, has sensed the mood of the people, which is overwhelmingly supportive for the BJP for its track record on governance, especially the initiatives like economic reforms, infrastructure development, social welfare programs, and national security measures during the past one decade.
Exuding Confidence about the NDA crossing 400 mark, with the BJP exclusively getting 370 seats, Mr Devender Rana said this will give new direction to the developmental trajectory of the nation. The BJP is committed to upholding the principles of inclusivity and good governance, saying this will lead to India becoming Vishwa Guru under Prime Minister Modi. He referred to India ranking as fifth economy, saying the country is destined to be the third economy in the next five years and Viksit Bharat by 2047.
Mr Rana said the BJP’s vision for a strong, prosperous, and inclusive Bharat resonates deeply with the aspirations of millions of Indians across the country. From vibrant global reputation, robust economic reforms to decisive actions on national security, the BJP’s agenda reflects its unflinching commitment to serve every segment of Indian society. While the past decade has been India’s tryst with development and economic resurgence, the next term under Prime Minister Modi will witness the nation growing as a world leader, he added.
Earlier Mr Rana paid obeisance at Baba Bhagtan Saad Ji Ashram at Keran, Bantalab and sought blessings of Baba Manmohan Dass Ji. Later, Mr Rana also visited Looni Mohalla, a locality of West Pakistan Refugees in Lower Jandyal Panchayat of Mathwar Block. He referred to the initiatives taken by the Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi Ji for empowering them politically and economically.
