KOLKATA: Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh said here today that after the Northeast, “Lotus” is all set to bloom in the East.
Addressing an election meeting of Serampore Lok Sabha constituency, Dr. Jitendra Singh, said that when Prime Minister Narendra Modi took over in 2014, there was not a single State in the Northeast, which was ruled by BJP either singly or in coalition with any other Party.
At that time, it was unimaginable for most of the critics and commentators to believe that one day the entire Northeast will turn saffron, he recalled.
But in course of time, said Dr Jitendra, as people got awakened to the fast-track development agenda of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and equitable fair deal being met out to every section of society, one after the other, each of the Northeastern States started voting for BJP and its allies and finally, all the eight States of Northeast have governments of which BJP is a part.
Similarly, Dr. Singh predicted that the vicious cycle of corruption, high handedness and violence unleashed by the Mamata Banerjee led TMC is also coming to an end and people are wary of it. He expressed confidence that both the major States of East India, namely West Bengal and Odisha will return the maximum number of seats to BJP in the ongoing general Parliamentary election.
On the 4th of June, predict ed Dr. Jitendra, when the result of Lok Sabha election is declared, the whole world will be a witness to see that within 10 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rule, “Lotus”, that marked the arrival of BJP in the Northeastern States, has also arrived in West Bengal to herald the arrival of BJP in a territory which was at one time considered to be a citadel of Leftist Communism.
The reason why the Modi led BJP is finding unani mous pan-India support, said Dr. Jitendra, hailed that
Modi has raised the bench mark of political practice and introduced a culture of justice to all and appeasement to none.
With the passage of time, he said, every section of society, every religion or caste and every region have gradually realised that they would be beneficiaries of whatever was required or whatever was the need, regardless of whichever Party they had voted for in the past.
While heading towards the target of 400 plus, Dr. Jitendra said, it is important for each of the BJP Karyakartas to realise that the common masses have made up their mind to help Modi reach this target and now it is up to us, the Modi’s team of BJP Karyakartas, to cooperate with the common masses to realise this dream which has virtually assumed the proportion of the national dream of 2024, he added.
