Nehruvism has been 'completely replaced' by Modi-ism: MP Rakesh Sinha on poll results

RSS ideologue and BJP Rajya Sabha MP Rakesh Sinha Thursday hailed the party's stellar performance as a "victory of Narendra Modi and his vision" and claimed Nehruvism has been "completely replaced by Modi-ism".

With the BJP on course to return to power with a thumping majority, Sinha also said the party triumphed because the Modi government knew how to balance "Ram and 'roti'".

"This is a historic moment in the country in post-independent India, when we have rejected dynasty, individualism, and politics based on narrow discourse, and a new narrative, new India, new leadership is the message of this election," Sinha told PTI.

The Rajya Sabha MP also rejected claims that BJP's performance would have been on a much lower scale had it not been for the Balakot airstrike months before the beginning of polls.

"Politics is not run by conspiracy theories... It is the work of (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi, who has worked for the common man, the Jan Dhan Yojana, Ayushman Bharat, and other schemes, these could not be realised by the urban-centric elite."
