Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre has worked for poor, downtrodden and Dalits in the country for the past two years. Addressing ‘Smriti Sandhya’, a gathering of former Jan Sangh leaders in Kozhikode, he said his agenda is to empower the last man in the last row and take India to the top of the world. Mr Modi wanted party workers to take to the people the achievements and various welfare schemes initiated by the BJP-led NDA government.
He also wanted the new generation to learn lessons from the old party leaders who sacrificed for the party.
The state BJP organised the Smriti Sandhya to felicitate those Jan Sangh leaders who had convened the 1967 meet where Deendayal Upadyaya was elected as All India President. Party activists, who underwent jail term during the Emergency period, were also among the more than 1,000 people felicitated at the function. BJP President Amit Shah also spoke on the occasion.
