Srinagar, Sep 02: BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh on Saturday said the “so-called” INDIA conclave is a “fake get-together party” that has no development agenda and only believes in aiming shots at Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Chugh in a statement said, “The group will soon collapse as there are more than a dozen PM candidates in it and their only target is to disturb the Modi government which has delivered a number of welfare schemes for 140 crore Indians.”
It is a fractured group, both ideologically and politically, he said, adding, “They are all opportunists who are aiming at petty political gains.”
The BJP leader said the Modi government has earned laurels at the international level as much as within the country for its “visionary and progressive” policies.
“The entire opposition is rattled by it and is giving a panic reaction,” he said while referring to the Mumbai meet of the opposition parties.
Tarun Chugh also welcomed the Central government’s move to constitute a high-level committee to chalk out a strategy for conducting simultaneous polls based on the ‘One Nation, One Election’ concept.
This initiative was an urgent requirement as the present system takes a heavy toll on the resources and finances for organising elections separately, he said, adding that combining the assembly and parliamentary elections would help save time, money and official duty hours of the Election Commission and the bureaucracy.
He said all the opposition parties must join hands with the Modi government to evolve the new system of one election throughout the country simultaneously.
The BJP leader also welcomed the appointment of former President Ram Nath Kovind as head of the panel that would study the whole process to be undertaken. “The new concept will bring consistency and continuity in policies and programmes of the Central and state governments as these two would focus on developmental activities,” he said.
