Addressing party karyakartas today, PM Modi said that BJP represented India and our proud diversity. Shri Modi credited the BJP President and Karnataka BJP karyakartas for their hard work.
Expressing concern over the loss of lives due to the collapse of the flyover in Varanasi, PM Modi assured Centre’s full assistance to the State government.
PM Modi expressed grave concern over the violence during Panchayat polls in West Bengal. He said, “There is one more thing I want to talk about...the scenes from the Panchayat Elections in West Bengal. It was nothing but a murder of democracy. From the nomination stage to the day of polling, where was the spirit of democracy? People were bullied.”
“People were disallowed to file nominations also. It is not only BJP people who suffered. People from all the leading parties except the one that rules Bengal suffered. This is serious. A land as great as West Bengal has to see such sights, it is unfortunate”, noted the PM.
He said that it was not about who won the polls. “All those who are democratic minded, including friends in civil society, they must come together to strengthen democratic spirit. We cannot see things only in partisan terms”, he said.
PM Modi assured the people of Karnataka that the BJP would work for the progress of the state.

I want to thank @BJP4India Karyakartas. They have worked so hard in the elections. Our national president worked so hard. If one wants to know how an ideal Karyakarta works, one does not need to look anywhere else, look at our National President: PM @narendramodi
