BJP president J.P. Nadda on Saturday set the tone for the two-day national executive meet of the party in Hyderabad by taking on the Opposition parties, especially the dynastic ones, which, he said, had “for the purpose of opposing Prime Minister Narendra Modi begun opposing the nation” even as the people of the country continued to repose faith in both Mr. Modi and the BJP.
Mr. Nadda said this on a day Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao skipped, for the third time in a row, receiving Mr. Modi at the airport as he landed in Hyderabad, which, the BJP said, was a violation of “constitutional propriety and federal protocol”.
Union Minister Smriti Irani, briefing the media on Mr. Nadda’s closed-door address to the party’s national executive, said that the party president flagged the “obstruction and destruction” of the Opposition parties over every programme and policy of the government that was aimed at reforms and the welfare of people.
