New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, took a swipe at the opposition parties, during his address at the felicitation ceremony of the newly elected BJP chief Jagat Prakash Nadda. Targeting the parties that faced defeat in the elections, PM Modi said: “Parties rejected in elections have been left with few weapons, and now they are spreading lies.” Hailing Jagat Prakash Nadda’s elevation at the President of the party and acknowledging the contribution of his predecessor Amit Shah, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a stirring speech at the BJP headquarters and asserted that the party’s able leaders will continue working selflessly for the upliftment of the party. “It is a big thing that the BJP grew to become world's largest party with its organisational work while it remained in power,” Modi said. He described Nadda as an old colleague, remembered how they used to ride scooter together for party work.
