Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said the BJP is a political organisation that works for the people and not merely an "election-winning machine". Addressing party workers via videoconferencing amid the coronavirus pandemic, the Prime Minister said, "Political commentators see elections only from a political perspective. But for the BJP, the party is not just a machine to win elections. It stands for seva (service), for people, for community, for the country, to bring change."
"People's blessings are like God's blessings. They are very powerful. People will make demands and requests, and we have work for them and understand the society that trusts us during crisis," PM Modi said. "During the lockdown, you (party workers) have made the lives of millions of people easy with your dedication," he added.
"Many BJP workers have treated the poor as their family members during this lockdown and helped them in the fight against COVID-19. Not many know about these workers, they weren't shown on TV as they have been helping people in remote areas," PM Modi said.
