Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President J.P. Nadda made an appeal on Sunday, urging the public to reject the opposition alliance INDIA. He accused the alliance of disseminating ‘hatred’ and ‘poison’ while also attacking India’s culture and traditions.
Speaking at a function in Chitrakoot city of Madhya Pradesh ahead of the assembly polls due this year-end, Nadda also urged people to make the BJP victorious in the state and also at the Centre in the next Lok Sabha elections to help the country become the third largest economy in the world.
Later, amid slogans of “Bharat Mata ki Jai”, Nadda flagged off the BJP’s ‘Jan Ashirwad Yatra’ from Chitrakoot.
BJP’s national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya and Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra, standing on a vehicle of the yatra, waved party flags as the crowd chanted “Vande Matram” and “Bharat Mata ki Jai”.
“Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Mohabbat ki Dukaan’ has turned out to be ‘nafrat failane wali dukaan’ (spreading hatred). The opposition (alliance) that met in Mumbai a couple of days ago was attacking India’s culture, traditional and religion,” Nadda claimed at the function before flagging off the yatra.
He said a big and strong constituent of the opposition alliance – DMK – has attacked the Sanatana Dharma. “The (opposition) alliance is attacking our religion,” Nadda said.
“Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin’s son Udhayanidhi Stalin has remarked that the Sanatana Dharma should be abolished. He had likened it to the coronavirus, malaria,” the BJP chief said.
“Throw away such an alliance which is against our Sanatana Dharma and spreading poison. They want to abolish it (Sanatana Dharma), eradicate them,” Nadda said.
He appealed to people shower their blessings on the BJP in the December 2023 MP assembly polls and in November 2024 (general elections) for making the country’s economy emerge as the third largest in the world.
