NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today underlined the support the BJP had received from backward sections of the society by noting that it had the maximum number of elected lawmakers from OBC, Dalit and Tribal communities, and asserted that its reach was no longer confined to a particular class, urban centres or north India.
Modi has also asked party leaders to refrain from making “irresponsible” statements, saying their responsibility has risen as public support has increased for the BJP.
His comments, made during an interaction with the party’s MPs, MLAs and other representatives through his mobile application, assume significance in the wake of opposition parties’ attempts to put up a united front against the saffron party over Dalit issues and also criticism of some BJP leaders for making irresponsible statements.
