Varaprasad Rao Velagapalli, after joining the BJP, said he has never seen any leader as dynamic as PM Modi.

“In my whole career as a politician, I have not come across anyone as dynamic as PM Modi. When I was an MP from 2014-19, I saw his dynamic decisions. I have admired how the BJP has been cleansing the system of ills and working towards development. I have been very much impressed with the development of villages and the upliftment of the weaker sections of the society,” he said.

Union Minister Thakur said today, when the youth of the country imagine a safe India, they look towards PM Modi with great hope.

“A prosperous, safe and a developed India is possible only under the leadership of Narendra Modi. The decades-old demand of our soldiers for ‘One Rank, One Pension’ was fulfilled by Narendra Modi,” he said.

Tawde said the former Air chief was actively involved in the ‘Viksit Bharat’ campaign of PM Modi. (ANI)
