Rajkot, August 10, 2024: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President and Union Minister J.P. Nadda launched a scathing critique of the Congress party during his address at the \u2018Tiranga Yatra\u2019 event in Rajkot, Gujarat, on Saturday. Nadda accused Congress leaders of being \u201cfake patriots\u201d and focused his ire on their perceived neglect of key historical figures and contributions to India\u2019s unity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addressing a gathering before flagging off the BJP’s Tiranga Yatra, Nadda targeted Rahul Gandhi, though he did not name him directly. \u201cThese people with narrow thinking and small minds,\u201d Nadda said, referring to the Congress party, are preoccupied with their \u2018Bharat Jodo Yatra\u2019 while overlooking the significant role of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in uniting India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nadda expressed dismay that no Congress leader had visited the Statue of Unity in Kevadia, Gujarat, dedicated to Sardar Patel. \u201cI have to say with sadness that till date, not a single Congress leader has gone to Kevadia to offer flowers at the Statue of Unity,\u201d he stated, highlighting what he sees as a lack of respect for Patel\u2019s contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He further criticized Congress leaders for focusing on a single family, presumably the Gandhi family, while neglecting the contributions of other freedom fighters like Chandra Shekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. \u201cThrough your glasses, you see only one family,\u201d Nadda said. \u201cYou forget the contributions of countless others who sacrificed their lives to free India from British rule.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nadda also praised Gujarat for its role in India\u2019s freedom struggle, emphasizing the achievements of Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel. He commended Patel\u2019s efforts in integrating 562 princely states into India, calling it a monumental task accomplished within two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Union Minister of Jalshakti C.R. Paatil and Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel were present at the event, where Nadda urged the youth to pledge their commitment to building a developed India by 2047, in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s vision. \u201cWhen we participate in the Tiranga Yatra, we must pledge to advance our Gujarat and our country, striving to make it a developed nation,\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Highlighting the progress made under Modi\u2019s leadership, Nadda spoke of India\u2019s strides toward self-reliance, including becoming the world\u2019s second-largest steel producer and the third-largest automobile hub. He noted that India now produces 97% of its mobile phones domestically and has transitioned from importing to exporting bulletproof jackets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIndia is moving towards self-reliance and achieving new heights under the leadership of PM Modi,\u201d Nadda declared. He emphasized that it is the duty of every Indian to contribute to the vision of a developed India by 2047, using the freedom and opportunities afforded by the country\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the Tiranga Yatra commences, Nadda\u2019s remarks reflect a broader political narrative, positioning the BJP as a champion of national unity and development, while criticizing the opposition for its perceived shortcomings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
