Prime Minister Narendra Modi has driven India forward while keeping the most marginalised at the centre of governance, BJP national president Nitin Nabin said on Sunday.
Speaking during his first visit to Mathura after being elected BJP national president, Nabin said the transformation visible in Uttar Pradesh reflected the changing face of the country.
“As I was coming here today, I felt that the roads in Uttar Pradesh are better than those I have seen abroad. This itself is testimony to how the country is changing,” he said.
Nabin credited the prime minister with ensuring development while focusing on the weak and marginalised. Referring to Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya’s concept of Antyodaya, he said, “It can now be said with confidence that the prime minister’s vision of development is focused on the poorest and most marginalised.”
The BJP chief reached Mathura from Delhi via the Yamuna Expressway, where party workers gave him a warm welcome at the Bajna Cut in the Mant area. “I have come here today to meet the people of the Mant Assembly constituency. By God’s grace, my first programme after becoming BJP national president has been scheduled at Mathura, the birthplace of Lord Krishna,” he said.
Appealing to citizens to contribute to the development of the state and the country, Nabin added, “Prime Minister Modi often states that when he takes one step forward, the country’s 140 crore people walk with him. With such collective strength, no force can stop India from progressing.”
Highlighting India’s rise on the global stage under PM Modi, he said, “There was a time when India’s prime minister could not look world leaders in the eye, but those days are a thing of the past. Today, Narendra Modi leads the world, and India’s prestige has risen globally.”
Nabin, accompanied by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, also visited the Shri Vrindavan Chandrodaya temple on Vrindavan Marg, where they listened to the prime minister’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ programme.
