BJP national president JP Nadda on Sunday attacked the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, saying that they indulged in corruption, promoted nepotism, enjoyed the cream, had fun and forgot the public.
Hitting out at the UPA government, Nadda said, "What happened during the UPA government? They did corruption, promoted nepotism, enjoyed the cream, had fun, and forgot the public." Addressing a public meeting in Buldhana, Maharashtra, Nadda said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Indian politics has become the politics of responsibility towards the voter. "When I talk about India, PM Modi has changed the political definition of India, changed the style of Indian politics, and changed the way of running Indian politics. Earlier, good slogans were used, and promises were made but later, they forgot all such promises. But after the arrival of PM Modi, Indian politics has become the politics of responsibility towards the voter. Instead of vote-bank politics, the politics of accountability are being done. We are towards the path of development," the BJP leader said. The polls for the five parliamentary seats in Maharashtra were held in the first phase of polling on Friday. The state, with its 48 Lok Sabha seats, is the second-largest contributor to the lower house of Parliament after Uttar Pradesh. PM Modi is seeking his third consecutive term, while the opposition bloc (INDIA), a coalition of opposition parties formed to take on the BJP in the general elections, is eyeing ousting him from power. The results of the seven-phase polls will be announced on June 4. The second phase will be held on April 26 and the remaining phases will be May 7, May 13, May 20, May 25, and June 1 accordingly. The counting of votes will be held on June 4. The last general elections in 2019 were also held in seven phases. (ANI)
