Prayagraj: Recalling Atal Bihari Vajpayee 's prophetic words, state cabinet minister Swatantra Deo Singh on Friday said that the former Prime Minister once said ‘Andhera Chhatega, Sooraj Niklega, Kamal Khilega (The darkness will dispel, the sun will be out and the lotus shall bloom) and "that vision has become a reality today". "When Vajpayee entered Parliament after winning two Lok Sabha seats, people mocked him saying ‘Hum Do Hamare Do'..
.," Singh said, addressing people at Dabhav of Chaka Mandal as part of the door-to-door beneficiary contact campaign to brief them about the achievements of eight years of BJP govt in the state and 11 years of central govt. He said: "In the same House, Congress leader Sonia Gandhi and the entire opposition termed Vajpayee communal to which BJP's Sushma Swaraj retorted, ‘I am communal because I talk about Ram and I say Bharat Mata ki jai.
I talk about Vande Mataram and I am communal. I talk about building the Ram temple, and I am communal. If I talk about removing section 370 and I am termed communal.
I am a Hindu; if I call myself a Hindu, then I am communal'." Stating that BJP is the only party where an ordinary member can reach high ranks, he said, "The country's home minister Amit Shah became BJP's president and a minister from a booth president. When tea seller Narendra Modi became the country's PM, in one stroke, what Sushma ji said in the House, section 370 was removed, and the tricolour was hoisted.
The construction of grand Ram Mandir is going on and triple talaq has also ended." "Today, the foundation of good governance is being laid and the whole country is watching. In the past 40 years, from Nehru to Indira, no one could level any allegation agaisnt Atal ji, and the country will never forget what Sonia Gandhi said in Parliament," Singh said.
Praising Modi, he said: "Such is the might of PM that when he lands in London, chants of Bharat Mata ki jai, Vande Mataram fill the air and the tricolour is unfurled." Slamming the opposition, he said: "We do not work for casteism, dynasty and regionalism. It's only the SP's dream to promote dynasty.
.. Our dream is to make nation proud and to keep poor happy.
