Addressing workers virtually on the 44th Foundation Day of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that Opposition parties suffering an existential crisis are “conspiring” against the saffron party, which will remain unbeatable in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
“Parties fighting existential crises will keep conspiring against us. The poor, deprived, Dalits and tribals are protecting the lotus (BJP),” Modi said in his address, which was relayed to workers in over 10,72,942 booth offices.
He said that Opposition parties with a 'baadshahi' attitude, have been lying to voters. “They have become restless and desperate at the exposure of their corrupt deeds. They are openly saying ‘Modi teri kabar khudegi’. They are issuing threats to dig my grave,” he said.
He urged BJP karyakartas to not become complacent despite being the “world's biggest political party”. “People have already started saying that no one can defeat the BJP in 2024. This is true but 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,” Modi said.
Modi said that the change of guard in 2014 was against a class of oppressors and that the abrogation of Article 370 could have taken place only under the BJP. The BJP has worked out a week-long celebration of its foundation day, with president JP Nadda unveiling a new slogan that is to be pasted across the walls of all the BJP offices.
A host of activities, including medical camps, intellectual meets, as well as facilitating workers of the Jana Sangh have been planned.
