PM Modi has changed politics of casteism, vote bank to vikasvaad, accountability: JP Nadda

 

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president JP Nadda said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has changed the age-old politics of casteism, vote bank and hooliganism to that of development, accountability and "report card politics".

"10 years ago, it was ingrained in the mind of the common man of India that nothing is going to change now. This is how politics is done, everyone here is dishonest, gundaraj will go on. These thoughts about politics were formed in the mind of the common man. But after the arrival of PM Modi, everything changed in the politics of India. This 2024 elections which is going on, you will be voting for RK Singh and also fulfil the mission of Viksit Bharat. This is the difference," Nadda said while speaking at Madhya Pradesh's Chitrakoot on Thursday.

Pointing out the difference in politics 10 years back, Nadda said, "What was the meaning of politics 10 years ago? Casteism, personality cult, parivarvaad, corruption. Vote bank politics, appeasement, making brothers fight against brothers, making castes fight against another, making hills fight against plains, north against south, east against west reigned. They practised vote bank politics to make people associate with elections."

The BJP chief said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi changed the nature of politics, making it "accountable" and inclusive.

"PM Modi took the politics of development forward in 10 years and kept the mantra, 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas Sabka Viswas Sabka Prayas. He changed the character, language, culture of politics. Today report card politics, accountable politics, inclusive politics is being practised. Politics is now about vikasvaad (development)," Nadda said.
