The resolution highlighted how in the Corona crisis, the Prime Minister not only cared for about 80 crore people of the country but also accelerated the economic growth through several economic packages and ‘Self-reliant India’ campaign. On one hand, Prime Minister Shri Modi arranged free ration for about eight crore people of the country for about eight months and on the other hand he also started the employment programme for migrant labourers.

In the Political Resolution, PM Shri Narendra Modi was specially thanked for the biggest vaccination campaign in the world.

The popularity and credibility of a political party is considered to be a great blessing. Therefore, in the resolution the Prime Minister was warmly congratulated and thanked for party’s success in last one year.
The resolution outlined the victory in the Bihar Assembly elections and BJP’s spectacular performance in the DDC elections held in Jammu and Kashmir and the Ladakh Hill Development Council election. Along with this, party thanked the people for giving historic mandate to BJP in elections ranging from local body in Rajasthan, Arunachal Pradesh, Goa to Bodo Territorial Council and Greater Hyderabad Municipal Council. The BJP also expressed gratitude to the people for the splendid success achieved by the BJP in the Assembly by-elections of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Manipur and Karnataka.
The resolution also said that during the Corona Pandemic the opposition, especially the Congress, tried to create unnecessary fear in the country on the basis of lies and confusion, but their every attempt failed completely. It also said that the Congress party only does cheap politics. The Congress could not implement GST during its tenure but when BJP government implemented it, they are opposing it. Similarly, Congress talked about agricultural reforms in its election manifesto but when the Modi government implemented agricultural reforms for the welfare of farmers, the Congress party started misleading the farmers. When we talked about the construction of Shri Ram Temple, the Congress used to raise a variety of questions, but today when the grand Shri Ram Temple is going to be built, the Congress is silent. We have taken forward the topic of national unity like Article 370, but it has become a habit of Congress to oppose every subject and even to play with the health of the people. Opposition to vaccination is also indicative of the prejudice of Congress. The Congress seems to have gone into darkness due to the eclipse of opposition.
It said all the office bearers and Karyakartas of the party believe that under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the Bharatiya Janata Party government at the Center worked to implement all the steps taken for the service of humanity. Under the leadership of Prime Minister, every party Karyakarta is ready to work for the expansion of the party, carrying forward the resolution of ‘Seva Hi Sangathan’.
In the meeting, issues like Agricultural Reforms, Self-Reliant India Campaign, assembly elections to be held in five states and the party’s organizational functions were discussed. The meeting also discussed the expansion plan in Himachal Pradesh and the plan to expand the party to Mandal level in Karnataka through new programs in Karnataka.
All the party Karyakartas must work for ‘Nation First’: PM
Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in his inaugural address said that the mission of Bharatiya Janata Party is not just to gain power but always to serve the country. He said for the purpose of serving the country, the organization should also develop its quality accordingly.
The Prime Minister said “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas and Sabka Vishwas” is the basic mantra of the Bharatiya Janata Party and taking this basic mantra forward the Central Government and the BJP State Governments functions. For this mantra, today there is a positive environment created for the development of the country.
