On the occasion of 42nd Foundation Day of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the party workers across the country via video conferencing. PM Modi said that this year’s Foundation Day is a major occasion for inspiration. “This year's Foundation Day has become very important due to three reasons. First, we are celebrating 75 years of independence. This is a major occasion for inspiration. Second, rapidly changing global situation. New opportunities are coming up for India continuously,” said PM Modi. “Third, BJP's double engine government came to power once again in four states recently. After three decades, a party has touched the mark of 100 members in Rajya Sabha,” he added.
