Independence Day 2023: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his speech during the Independence Day celebrations, slammed dynastic politics and said that political parties who believe in dynastic politics have one mantra – “party of the family, by the family and for the family”. PM Modi said that the country has to fight the three evils of "corruption, nepotism and appeasement.” He said that it is a collective responsibility to promote "suchita (probity), pardarshita (transparency), nishpakshta (objectivity)" to make India developed.
Addressing the 77th Independence Day celebrations from the ramparts of Red Fort PM Modi, "Dynastic politics have one mantra 'of the family, by the family, for the family. These are the enemies of the country...just as you hate filth, you have to hate corruption,' he said.
"'Parivarvaad' and appeasement have caused immense damage to the country. How can a political party have only one family in charge? For them, their life mantra is 'Party of the family, by the family and for the family,’" PM Modi said in a veiled dig at some opponents of the BJP. "I firmly believe that when the country will celebrate 100 years of freedom in 2047, the country would be a developed India. I say this on the basis of the capability of my country and available resources. But the need of the hour is to fight three evils - corruption, dynasty and appeasement," he added.
The Prime Minister said that corruption has badly affected India's capabilities and the country has to resolve to not tolerate it in any form. "It is Modi's life-long commitment to keep fighting against corruption...My government weeded out 10 crore fake beneficiaries of welfare schemes, and seizure of ill-gotten assets rose by 20 times," he said.
He also said that the politics of appeasement has inflicted the most harm on social justice and the country has to resolve to not tolerate corruption in any form. "It is the commitment of my life to keep fighting against corruption. Second, dynasty politics has ruined the country. It has taken away the rights of people. And the third evil is appeasement which has left a blot of the national character. We have to fight against these three evils with full force - corruption, dynasty politics and appeasement," said PM Modi.
