Prime Minister Narendra Modi today took a dig at Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s official induction into the Congress by claiming that for some “family is the party”.

Mr Modi was interacting with BJP booth workers from Baramati, Gadchiroli, Hingoli, Nanded and Nandurbar through video conferencing.

Prime Minister said the BJP was not a party where the decision is taken at the wishes of one individual and family.

He said the BJP takes decisions on its workers’ wishes and it is the only party which truly follows democratic traditions.

The Prime Minister accused Congress of challenging government’s decision on ten percent reservation for economically weaker sections for upper castes in the court through back door.

Mr Modi said the decision has been taken to give benefits to the poor and it will be implemented without touching the existing reservation for people from SC, ST and OBC categories.

During the interaction, he said NDA government has taken several steps keeping the common man’s interest in mind to make lives easier.

Mr Modi said Maoist violence has come down in the last four and a half years in the country and the number of Left Wing Extremism affected districts have also come down from 126 to 90. He said development has now surpassed Maoism in the country.
