BJP focusing on nation's inclusive development: Nadda
Earlier this month, Nadda said, while the BJP led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi was focusing on all round and inclusive development of the country, the Congress was still busy promoting dynastic politics by repackaging its leader Rahul Gandhi.
Addressing a public meeting as part of BJP's 'Vijaya Sankalpa Yatre' ahead of Assembly polls in Karnataka, he said that Rahul Gandhi, unable to win elections, is alleging that democracy in India was under threat, on foreign land.
"Before 2014 (before Modi govt) India was mired in corruption. There were scams like 2G, 3G, and commonwealth among others, but today the country is among the leading nations of the world," Nadda added.
