BJP is the party to reckon with: Naidu

Union Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday said all political parties except the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) were disintegrating and their leaders were abandoning them to join the BJP.

"BJP has been winning elections after elections after 2014 and parties like Congress, Samajwadi Party, AIADMK, AAP and others were disintegrating," Naidu said while addressing a huge gathering of party workers and supporters at Ramlila Maidan here.

He said the BJP has won the maximum number of elections in the past three years and has governments all across the country.

"Ever since Narendra Modi has become Prime Minister, there has been a movement in the country, BJP's flag could be seen across the country," he said, encouraging party workers to gear up for the upcoming civic bodies elections in Delhi next month.

He said there had not been even a single charge of corruption against the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in the past three years.

"During Congress' regime, there would be many corruption cases in a single day, but nobody can accuse us of any corrupt practice," he said.

Naidu also praised the BJP, saying that it was the only party which ensured representation of all sections of society.

"BJP has maximum Scheduled Caste, farmers and women MPs," he said.

The minister said that the NDA's demonetisation policy was criticised by many but people proved them wrong by giving the BJP a huge mandate in the just concluded elections.
