New Delhi: Like Neelkanth (Lord Shiva), Prime Minister Narendra Modi bore the opposition’s attempts to defame him, and came out of these “false propaganda campaigns” like kundan, says the resolution passed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national executive, a key organisational body, earlier this week. The party shared the resolution late Wednesday.
Showering praises on the prime minister, the resolution goes on to say that the country emerged as a decisive, strong, “protector of the world” under Modi’s leadership. The PM himself has become “supreme and most popular leader of not only the country, but also of the world.”
The resolution said, “The whole world has become aware of India’s strength and capabilities which were displayed during the Covid crisis and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. India leads the world when it comes to protecting humanity and conserving the environment and nature. India scripted a new chapter in its history by getting the chairmanship of G20, UN Security Council, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) under PM Modi’s leadership.”
It also said, “Not only this, by bringing cheetahs from Namibia, taking a leap in the field of space and becoming the fifth-largest economy in the world, India has surprised the countries around the world.”
Attacking the opposition for using “propaganda to defame” the PM, the resolution said, “From the surgical strike to Pulwama, from Pakistan to China, every time the false propaganda of the opposition felt flat on its face. For 20 years, the opposition tried to defame Prime Minister Modi in the Gujarat riots case, but our supreme leader, bearing this humiliation like ‘Neelkanth’, only focused upon the development of the nation. The Supreme Court put an end to this propaganda by giving him the clean chit.”
Congratulating the PM for the party’s massive win in Gujarat assembly elections, it said, “All Indians share such a deep connect with the pro-poor welfare policies and innovative vision of the prime minister…the BJP victory in Gujarat under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi was so overwhelming that the party which stood second in this election could not get enough seats to get the status of the main opposition.”
The BJP won 156 seats in the 182-member Gujarat Assembly and nearly 53 per cent of votes, the resolution said, adding that the party that came second (the Congress) could not even get the 10 per cent of the total seats required for it to be recognised as the main opposition.
The resolution further said, “anti-incumbency is no longer used for the BJP,” pro-incumbency being the buzzword. “There should be research on how a pro-poor welfare government makes its place in the hearts of people and returns every time with a bigger majority than before.”
In the resolution, the party also resolved to win the assembly elections due this year in Tripura, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Karnataka, Mizoram, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh.
