Ideological victories a sign of our commitment, says Muralidhar Rao

‘Nation was undergoing a crises of confidence when the UPA govt. was in power’

Abrogation of Article 370, enactment of Citizen Amendment Act (CAA) along with the initiating construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya by the Narendra Modi led government at the Centre “are not political victories but ideological victories for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)”, asserted senior leader and Madhya Pradesh in-charge P. Muralidhar Rao on Thursday. “For years we have been debating about these issues even as the Congress and Communist parties were questioning our motives. These courageous decisions by the Modi government had proven that we are a party with true commitment,” he said during the second ‘e-chintan’ meeting of the party on the occasion of seventh anniversary of the NDA government. The CAA has been a long pending step to “correct” the wrongs of post-Independence when scores of refugees have been denied citizenship following migration from the neighbouring countries. Whereas removing Article 370 has ensured 890 central laws are made applicable, including quota for Scheduled Castes, protection of property rights for women, Ayushman Bharat, human rights commission, etc.
