Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president JP Nadda emphasised that the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections will represent a clash between dynastic politics and corruption versus a platform of development.
Speaking to party workers from Mumbai's western suburbs during his visit to the city on Wednesday, Nadda hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, asserting that India, under his guidance, is poised to ascend from the fifth to the third largest economy globally.
In a pointed critique aimed at opposition parties opposed to the BJP, Nadda accused them of being either mired in dynastic politics or tainted by corruption.
Encouraging party workers to mobilise voters and secure support for a renewed mandate for the BJP, Nadda underscored that citizens, particularly first-time voters of the past decade, have experienced governance marked by development rather than the corruption prevalent in previous administrations.
He stressed that the impending Lok Sabha elections, anticipated to be held in April-May, will represent a clash between dynastic politics and corruption on one side and a vision of development on the other, warning that dynastic politics and corruption spell inevitable ruin, contrasting it with the BJP's focus on development.
Earlier in the day, Nadda engaged with BJP office-bearers from all 36 assembly constituencies in Mumbai, as well as party MPs and MLAs from the metropolis.
During his address, Nadda urged BJP leaders to ensure the party's ideology reaches every segment of society, and urged them to effectively counter opposition criticism directed at the BJP and its governance.
Advocating for the extensive use of social media and garnering support from prominent figures on issues of public concern, Nadda also presided over meetings of the Election Management Committee for all six Lok Sabha constituencies in Mumbai, as part of the party's preparations for the upcoming national elections.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the BJP, along with its then-ally undivided Shiv Sena, secured three seats each in Mumbai. In the subsequent Maharashtra assembly elections held in October of that year, the BJP won 16 of the city's 36 seats, while the Shiv Sena clinched 14.
Currently, in Maharashtra's 288-member legislative assembly, the BJP leads in an alliance with the Shiv Sena, helmed by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, along with the NCP led by Ajit Pawar.
