Hyderabad, July 3
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday asked Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders to learn lessons from the mistakes of political parties that had been declining even also ruling the country for years.
Modi was addressing the concluding session of the two-day BJP National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting that started here on Saturday.
“The Prime Minister said that many political parties that have ruled India for years are today fighting for their existence. The Prime Minister categorically stated that this terminal decline of their identity should not be a cause of laughter for us (BJP leaders). They have given us a lesson not to commit the mistakes they have made in the past,” senior BJP leader and former Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said while briefing about the NEC meeting.
The Prime Minister outlined the evolution of BJP over the years, what is BJP’s and its leaders’ obligation towards the country, what duty they owe to the people of the country, he added.
Prasad said that the Prime Minister congratulated Telangana BJP workers for organising the meet, and mentioned that ‘Bhagyanagar’ (Hyderabad) was the place where Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel laid down the foundation of ‘Ek Bharat’ or united India.
“The Prime Minister said now it was the BJP’s responsibility to make it ‘Shresth Bharat’,” the former Law Minister said, adding the Prime Minister also stated that the thought should be to move from ‘appeasement’ to ‘fulfillment’.
