The BJP is ready to take everyone along and it works on the principle of building a strong nation, party chief J P Nadda said on Monday, brushing aside suggestions that a section of the society feels alienated under the Narendra Modi government. "When we work politically, it is our endeavour to take everyone along.
We have to be ready for it. We are ready for it," Nadda told a press conference here to mark eight years of the BJP-led government at the Centre. "There are many types of people in a society. Some respond earlier, some later, some after decades and some respond after much time has passed. It depends on them.
But our conduct is on the principle of a strong nation, one nation. This is clear and everyone will have an equal share," he said. Replying to questions on whether the issue of the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi is on the agenda of the BJP, Nadda said the party has always spoken for cultural development and such issues are decided in accordance with the Constitution and courts. "Court and Constitution will decide on it and the BJP will follow it in letter and spirit," the party chief said. (PTI)

One must recognise that the falling rupee, flight of capital, plummeting GDP and a sharp drop in manufacturing activities are the result of a series of economic policy failures. This is called policy paralysis. It started with the body-blow of demonetisation, which failed in every single one of its stated objectives — curbing black money in circulation, combatting terrorism, reduction of forged currency and increasing taxation. The deeply flawed GST and 1,100 amendments since 2017 have made the taxation structure cumbersome for medium and small businesses. The bank frauds of Rs 5,35,000 crore over the last eight years and gross NPAs of 21 lakh crore have further eroded the credibility of the banking system. To top it, the surge in the Union’s debt from Rs 55 lakh crore in 2014 to 135 lakh crore now reflects a debt trap. Read more
