NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi identified initiatives like
GST and the farm reforms as key elements of the “sabka saath, sabka vikas” mantra even as a resolution adopted at a meeting of party leaders on Sunday backed the government on the farm laws and handling of the situation on the Line of Actual Control.
“The government brought in three farm laws in the interest of farmers to ensure they get the right price for their produce, their income doubles and that they have the freedom to sell their farm produce where they want to,” the resolution said, indicating that the demand for repeal of the laws raised by farm unions, mainly from Punjab,, Haryana and west UP, , was not likely to be heeded. In fact, it pointed to a rallying around the initiative.
In the first major in-person organisational meeting since the lockdown, Modi urged BJP cadres to live up to expectations at a time when the global community was looking at India with a lot of expectations.
Modi said “sabka saath, sabka vikas, sabka vishwas” was the “basic mantra” of the party and its mission was to work for the country and its development. He also said that keeping this mantra in mind, the government had done “positive work” and highlighted the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and reforms in the agriculture sector. The meeting was inaugurated by Modi and it started by paying tributes to those who lost their lives due to coronavirus.
