Days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked BJP leaders not to seek tickets for their relatives in view of elections in five states, Madhya Pradesh BJP executive committee today passed a political resolution to check nepotism in party at its meeting which began here today.
Today, a political resolution praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the surgical strikes across the border, demonetisation and his boost for cashless transactions was also passed at the two-day meet.
"Surgical strike at terrorists' camps across the border displayed the country's strength and the note ban move aimed at eradicating naxalism, terrorism, corruption, black money which was ruining the country is historic," stated the resolution.
The cashless transaction drive of the government has gathered steam across the country, it said.
"Yes, we have passed the political resolution to check nepotism in the party," MP BJP general secretary Ajay Pratap Singh said, adding merit will be the main criteria in picking up candidates and promoting them within the party.
"We have passed a political resolution regarding the surgical strike, demonetisation and cashless transaction drive," Singh added.
