BJP national president JP Nadda sharply criticised the former Congress-led UPA administration on Tuesday, accusing it of feeding biryani to terrorists from across the border.
Nadda praised the government’s audacious move to repeal Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir and praised the BJP-led NDA’s ten years in office under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “There used to be a government at the Centre that used to host terrorists at their offices and treat them to biryani,” Nadda said during a public meeting in Pitampura. Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, our government has the guts and the political determination to deprive Jammu and Kashmir of its constitutionally granted special rights. Because of such momentous and historic ruling, Jammu & Kashmir is now an essential component of the nation.”
Nadda also praised the economic progress made under the BJP-led government, noting that while the US and China are experiencing economic downturns, India is viewed as a beacon of hope according to global estimates. He said, “We navigated several global challenges such as the Covid-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine military conflict, among others. However, under the visionary leadership of Modi-ji, we managed to come out of these challenges unscathed and outpace the UK as the fifth-largest global economy.”
Highlighting India’s shift from aid recipient to aid provider, Nadda added, “Today, we are no longer a recipient but a giver. All sections of society, including the poor and marginalised, have been empowered by the schemes launched by Modi-ji.”
Nadda also led a roadshow in the Palam area to support BJP’s South Delhi candidate, Ramvir Singh Bidhuri. Speaking to ANI during the event, Nadda criticized the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), accusing it of being allied with anti-national forces. He claimed, “The Aam Aadmi Party is in cahoots with anti-national forces. There are allegations that they received funds from terrorists and pro-Khalistani elements in the Punjab (assembly) elections. Arvind Kejriwal hasn’t responded to these allegations yet. They embody the habits of urban Naxals.”
Nadda further accused AAP of undermining national security, stating, “They want to inflict damage to the country and impede its progress on the path of development. They have always indulged anti-national forces. Is it not true that they had sought proof of the surgical strikes (post the Uri terror attack), shaking the morale of our armed forces?”
