Addressing the BJP's 44th Foundation Day celebrations, PM Modi drew parallels between Lord Hanuman and the BJP and asserted that the party believed in the ideals of selfless service.
He said India was realising its potential just like Lord Hanuman after eliminating self-doubt. "If we see the whole life of Lord Hanuman, he had a 'can-do' attitude that helped him achieve big successes," PM Modi said.
PM Modi cited the free ration scheme, health insurance and other welfare measures to assert that social justice was an article of faith for the BJP.
He alleged that the opposition parties could not think big, set small goals and were satisfied with small achievements. "BJP believes in dreaming big and achieving even bigger goals," Modi said.
The prime minister also slammed people with a "baadshahi" mindset, alleging they have been insulting the poor, backwards, and deprived since 2014.
