Finance
Minister Arun Jaitley on Monday said that the popularity of
the NDA government is growing with each passing day, adding it has retained its
popularity in the last two years.
"The
2014 Lok Sabha elections were a major turn for the country when the BJP emerged
as the single largest party in the country. This year the Narendra Modi
government completed two successful years," Jaitley said on the sidelines
of party's National Executive meet in Allahabad.
"Earlier
the government was characterised by a policy paralysis. However now, India is
seen as a bright spot," he added.
The Union
Finance Minister further praised Prime Minister Modi, saying the BJP has proved
itself in all aspects by satisfying the citizens of India.
"Prime
Minister Narendra Modi has put forth seven-point 'mantras' for party workers,
including service, balance, restraint, empathy and dialogue," he added.
Jaitley
also said the main objectives of this executive meet were to analyse the
current political scenario and to increase the country's economic growth amid
the global slowdown.
"From
a geographical perspective, the party is growing stronger in places where we
have historically been weak such as Kerala, Assam, Bengal. And we have
identified seven states where we want to make the party stronger," he
added.
The BJP began
its two-day executive meet on June 12, targeting the Uttar Pradesh Assembly
elections in 2017, but the party's chief ministerial candidate for the UP
elections is yet to be announced.
