‘Stay connected to grassroots’. PM Modi tells senior BJP leaders. His stern message to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders is ‘Raja ki tarah mat bano, jameen se jure raho (Don’t behave like kings, stay connected to the grassroots).’
He has also asked BJP office-bearers not to be “arrogant” and to listen to ordinary party workers who have made them leaders.
This came Sunday when the Prime Minister interacted with BJP’s national office-bearers, in-charges of states, presidents and general secretaries of state units, among others. The meeting was chaired by BJP president J.P. Nadda.
PM’s message was a wake-up call to party leaders who were becoming complacent. It has come in the backdrop of criticism of the BJP for its failure to counter the narrative against the central farm laws on the ground in Punjab, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh.
According to a senior BJP leader, PM Modi, who attended the meeting in the morning, also told the party leaders to inform people about the benefits of the three laws.
PM Modi spoke for at least 40 minutes but rather than a speech it was more of personal interaction with the office-bearers who were asked to give a brief introduction about themselves,” said the senior party leader.
