'Spared No Effort To Break India': J P Nadda's Swipe At Congress Ahead Of 'Bharat Nyay Yatra'
Hitting out at the opposition I.N.D.I.A bloc, the BJP chief said that it is bent on dragging the country down while Prime Minister Narendra Modi is taking it forward.
New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president J P Nadda on Sunday targeted the Congress, saying those who spared no effort in doing injustice to society are now thinking about holding a 'nyay yatra'.
Hitting out at the opposition I.N.D.I.A bloc, the BJP chief said that it is bent on dragging the country down while Prime Minister Narendra Modi is taking it forward, reported news agency PTI.
Addressing a public gathering in Lucknow, Nadda said, "Those people who spared no effort to break India over the last so many years had set out on Bharat Jodo Yatra. Those people who spared no effort in doing injustice to society are thinking about holding a 'nyay yatra' these days."
"Those people who never thought of anyone outside their family are talking about the country today," the BJP chief added, PTI reported.
Nadda was in Lucknow to participate in the 'Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra', which aims to spread the word about the central government's flagship schemes ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. He also flagged off a half-marathon for women.
Last week, the Congress announced it will hold a 'Bharat Nyay Yatra' led by Rahul Gandhi from Manipur to Mumbai, passing through 14 states and 85 districts from east to west of India in 67 days, beginning January 14. The exercise is being seen as the party's attempt to rally support ahead of the crucial 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Nadda attacked the I.N.D.I.A bloc, which also includes the Congress, saying the opposition coalition is working to stop the country's growth, reported PTI.
"On one side, we have Modi ji who is taking the country forward and on the other side, we have the INDI Alliance that is bent on stopping the country (from growing). They are competing to drag the country down and we are competing to take India forward under the leadership of Modi ji," he said.
He further stated, "Prime Minister Modi empowered the youth of the country through many schemes like Startup India, Khelo India and Fit India. This year, India gave its best performance in the Asian Games and won the maximum number of medals."
"Our Prime Minister Modi has said that he sees only four castes and these are women, farmers, youths and the poor. If we strengthen these four castes, then the dream of a developed India will come true," he added.
The BJP chief also praised his party's government in Uttar Pradesh for taking the state forward, PTI reported.
"There was a time when Uttar Pradesh was known as a state of goons. It was difficult for women to leave their homes and all work was stopped. At that time, Uttar Pradesh was a backward state. Today, with the blessings of Modi ji and the hard work of Yogi ji, Uttar Pradesh is moving forward at a fast pace," he said.
