BJP president JP Nadda on Saturday applauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Government for completing the first year of its second consecutive tenure and called it a year of “accomplishment with unimaginable challenges” saying that a “cultural change” in political arena is very much visible with the BJP dispensation showing its capacity to take bold decisions unlike the paralysis reflected during the Congress regimes.

He said Prime Minister’s leadership has been acknowledged globally and in the time of global pandemic, he has led the country with a “timely lockdown” and situation has been “stabilised.”

“This has been a year of accomplishments and we have also faced unimaginable challenges. The Prime Minister led from the front to give a vision to the country and managed the coronavirus crisis well. Starting from testing facility to developing PPE kits and ventilators in the fight against Covid-19, the country under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership is heading towards indigenous and self-reliant India. A holistic package was also announced by our Government,” BJP president said addressing a digital Press conference from BJP headquarters.

Nadda said his party would conduct 2,000 virtual rallies through one month as he accepted that coronavirus has created a problem for future political campaigns and activities. “We have seen that this Government is responsive, receptive and has the capacity to take bold decisions. With the announcement of Rs 1.70 lakh crore package, the WHO accepted that India is the country which has shown that economic aspect is also to be taken into consideration during the time of Covid-19 crisis,” he said.

Nadd said the Modi-Government took bold decision and did not stop at ifs and buts. “If we felt it was right then we went ahead with a decision and did not waver,” he said.

BJP president listed abrogation of Article 370, Citizenship Amendment Act, criminalisation of triple talaq, resolution of Ayodhya temple dispute and cross-border air strikes as the major achievements of the Modi-Government.

He charged the Congress of putting hurdle on the way to the resolution of court decision on the temple issue and “delaying” it.

BJP president said while the Government did all to contain coronavirus, the Congress sought to politicise the pandemic and described Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s comments as “irresponsible” and “without proper facts and study”.

Nadda said in last six-years, Modi has moved the country from the indecisive and paralytic mood prevailing during the Congress Government to a culture of decisiveness.

Former BJP president and Union Home Minister Amit Shah also congratulated Prime Minister on the first anniversary of his government’s second term.

He described the second term of PM Modi as “historic” and claimed that that the ruling Government has corrected many “historic wrongs.”
