BJP is determined like Hanuman to fight corruption: Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said the BJP was committed to taking tough steps to rid India of corruption, nepotism and law and order challenges.

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.

Hanuman Jayanti, which celebrates the birth of Lord Hanuman, is being observed on Thursday.

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,” PM Modi said.
