Wherever lotus blooms, there is peace & prosperity: Sarbananda Sonowal

Guwahati: The Union Minister of Ports, Shipping & Waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal, drew a Lotus, the symbol of BJP, as part of the BJP Wall Painting program at the Jyotikuchi area in Guwahati.

As part of this national campaign, the Party's senior leader joined enthusiastic party workers and common people to draw a lotus, where everyone cheered for ‘Ek Bar Phir Se Modi Sarkar.’


Sonowal said, “Under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, the country has been able to break shackles from the dark age of inefficient, inept, corrupt misgovernance by the Congress, as the country is set to launch itself towards becoming the world’s top three economies. People of India suffered due to Congress’s obsession to please one family at the cost of everything, as their ‘Garibi Hatao’ chants were mere optics. Due to their corrupt & inefficient governance, India could not come out of its poverty, despite being one of the most promising economies in the world. Since 2014, under the inspiring leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, India regained its lost confidence as it cruised towards becoming an Atmanirbhar nation at the end of Amrit Kaal. Due to Modi ji’s leadership, the country is experiencing the true fruit of a welfare state with a corruption-free, efficient, inclusive government at the center. It is a moment of great joy that Modi government’s effort led to the rescue of 25 crores Indians from the abyss of poverty in the last 10 years. This clearly shows how the Modi government means business as against the Congress government’s means to please the family. This is why the whole country is saying ‘Ek Bar Phir Se Modi Sarkar.”

Adding further, Sonowal said, “Our beautiful region of North East never received its due until Narendra Modi came to lead the country in 2014. For every small thing, we had to launch a protest, a movement to lodge our demand for our rightful way of existence. For most of the time, we were denied what is rightfully our region’s right to grow and develop. Modi ji brought about meaningful change as he brought the focus on the North East with an agenda for development and growth. What our region endured for decades of disturbance and insurgency, under Modi ji, most of Northeast could attain peace as insurgents joined the mainstream after meaningful dialogues. I can say that wherever Lotus bloomed, there was and is peace and prosperity. Due to the arrogance, ignorance, or simply supercilious attitude of Congress towards North East, we, the people of the region, suffered for decades. Countless young people died. Since 2014, Modi ji has traveled to the region for more than 60 times, the most by any Prime Minister. Almost 900 trips were made by his members of Council of Ministers to the region. All these helped the region to gain approval as a destination of promise, peace, and prosperity. Today, the North East is propelling the growth engine of the country, a thought that never crossed the minds of Congress. Those mids were and still are too busy appeasing that one dynasty, that one family. Modi ji has given hope to the future of the country, as the young generation of the country is moving forward to become equal partners in the growth story of Atmanirbhar Bharat. Thanks to many innovative ideas that have come into being like Start-Up India, Digital India, and many more, the young are experiencing opportunities that were long denied to them. The youth is completely against corruption and nepotism, and the days are numbered for any family-run parties where merit is not honored. It is a foregone conclusion that Modi ji will return to become Prime Minister once again, with the love and support from the people, we will ‘Ab Ki Baar, 400 Paar.”
