Allahabad: In the city to attend Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) national executive meeting, Prime Minister Narendra Modi exhorted his party leaders and workers to embrace seven precepts that he said would increase its presence across India.
"Sense of service, balance, patience, coordination, positive attitude, sensitivity and dialogue were the seven points the Prime Minister asked party leaders and workers to follow," Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley told reporters.
Advising the party leaders to stay polite, he asked them to not get carried away by power.
"He asked them to concentrate on serving the people," Jaitley said.
Jaitley said the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government has had "two successful years" in office, making policy paralysis a thing of the past.
"It's a historical period for all of us," the minister said. “India is a bright spot and a fastest-growing economy in the world now.”
He said the BJP's two-day National Executive convention in Allahabad was held when the party was doing "really well".
The minister said there has been a great change in the popularity graph of the Congress and the BJP.
He said the Congress has gone down in terms of popularity and was on the verge of losing its mass base further.
