Northeast Desk, 11th April: During the unveiling of the election manifesto in Sikkim today, BJP national president JP Nadda issued a clarion call for change, declaring, “Enough is enough; it’s time to join the mainstream, and the mainstream is BJP. The era of regional parties is over; it’s high time to bid farewell to regional politics and embrace the BJP, which promises comprehensive development.”
Nadda’s statement resonates with a message of transformation, underscoring the BJP’s vision for Sikkim’s progress. “Gone are the days of corruption and divisive politics; it’s time for the lotus to bloom in Sikkim,” he asserted, symbolizing the party’s symbol and its potential to usher in positive change.
In discussing development and promises, he spotlighted India’s economic resilience under PM Modi’s leadership. Nadda drew attention to global economic shifts post-pandemic and post-Ukraine war. “Following the COVID-19 pandemic, America’s economy has faltered. Post-Ukraine war, Russia’s economy has been affected, as have those of Australia and Japan. However, India, under the leadership of PM Modi, has ascended to the 5th position in economic power,” Nadda remarked, highlighting India’s growing stature on the world stage.
Nadda also underscored specific sectors where India has made significant progress, stating, “In steel manufacturing, we have risen to number 2 from number 4; in the automobile market, we have surpassed Japan, standing at number 3. Even in the mobile industry, today you use phones labeled ‘Made in India,’ not ‘Made in China’.”
