Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday took to Twitter and posted on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
“We mark our Party’s 40th Anniversary when India is battling COVID-19. I appeal to BJP Karyakartas to follow the set of guidelines from our Party President @JPNaddavJi, help those in need and reaffirm the importance of social distancing. Let’s make India COVID-19 free,” the Prime Minister tweeted.
PM Modi said that whenever the party got the chance to serve the nation, it did so by emphasising “good governance and empowerment of the poor”.
“In line with the principles of the party, our workers have toiled to bring positive changes in the lives of the people and also set a new example of social service,” PM’s post read.
भाजपा के स्थापना दिवस पर @BJP4India के सभी कार्यकर्ताओं को बहुत-बहुत शुभकामनाएं। इस अवसर पर उन सबको मेरी विनम्र श्रद्धांजलि, जिन्होंने अपने खून-पसीने से पार्टी को सींचा। उनकी वजह से ही भाजपा को आज देशभर में करोड़ों भारतीयों की सेवा करने का अवसर मिला है। #BJPat40
