By Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday used the Bharatiya Janata Party’s 47th Foundation Day to highlight the party’s major policy achievements and outline its future agenda, saying key promises such as the Ram temple and Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) have been fulfilled while reforms like the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and “One Nation, One Election” are still in progress. Addressing party workers virtually, Modi struck a confident tone, portraying the BJP as a disciplined cadre-based organisation committed to long-term national goals.
In a speech that mixed political messaging with organisational reflection, the Prime Minister traced the BJP’s journey from its early ideological roots to its current position as the country’s dominant political force. He said the party drew inspiration from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and built a strong grassroots network over decades, which allowed it to pursue policy reforms that earlier governments hesitated to implement.
Modi highlighted a series of decisions taken during BJP-led governments, including the revocation of Article 370, the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, the ban on triple talaq, and the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act. According to him, these measures reflect the party’s commitment to fulfilling long-standing promises and addressing issues that were pending for decades. He also pointed to the new Parliament building, the removal of colonial-era laws, and the 10 percent reservation for economically weaker sections as examples of structural reforms aimed at strengthening governance and social justice.
Looking ahead, the Prime Minister said debates on the Uniform Civil Code and the idea of simultaneous elections across the country are gaining momentum and that the government is moving steadily in that direction. He noted that Uttarakhand has already implemented the UCC and other states are discussing similar steps, indicating a broader policy shift that could shape future political and legislative priorities.
Modi also took aim at the Congress, accusing it of focusing on dynastic politics rather than national development. He said the BJP, in contrast, treats the organisation like a family driven by service and dedication, and urged party workers to continue strengthening grassroots outreach in upcoming elections. He expressed confidence in the party’s performance in five states heading to polls and praised BJP president Nitin Nabin for energising the organisation.
The Prime Minister concluded by highlighting India’s growing global engagement, saying the country is now building strong relationships with nations around the world while staying rooted in the principle of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. The address reinforced the BJP’s narrative of continuity, governance, and future reforms as it prepares for key electoral and legislative battles.
