NEW DELHI: “NDA is a vibrant alliance, encapsulating India’s diversity. We cherish this partnership, and I am sure it will get even stronger in the times to come,” the PM said in a series of posts on X on BJP’s Foundation Day. Home Minister Amit Shah said under the leadership of PM Modi, BJP is helping in building a developed India by becoming synonymous with the welfare of the poor, reconstruction of cultural heritage, and respect for women.

BJP, formerly Jan Sangh, was founded on April 6, 1980.

“Today, on the Sthapana Diwas of @BJIndia, I extend my greetings to all fellow party karyakartas from across the length and breadth of India. I also recall with great reverence the hardwork, struggles, and sacrifices of all those great women and men who built our party over the years. I can say with great confidence that we are India’s preferred party, which has always served with the motto of ‘Nation First,” the PM said.

The Prime Minister said that be it in the Centre or the states, BJP has redefined good governance.

“Our schemes and policies have given strength to the poor and downtrodden. Those who were left on the margins for decades found a voice and hope in our party. We have worked towards providing all-round development, which has boosted ‘ease of living’ for every Indian,” PM Modi said.

He said BJP has also freed India from the culture of corruption, cronyism, casteism, communalism, and vote bank politics, which was the hallmark of those who ruled the nation for the longest time. “In today’s India, emphasis is on clean and transparent governance, which ensures the fruits of development reach the poor without any discrimination,” the PM said.
