Learn from mistakes of parties in 'terminal decline', says PM Modi

Referring to Hyderabad as 'Bhagyanagar', Modi said Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel laid the foundation of 'Ek Bharat' (United India) by integrating the region into the Union

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday asked Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) members to learn from mistakes of the parties which ruled India for long but are now in "terminal decline", as he emphasised on qualities such as restraint, balanced outlook and coordination among them.

In his speech at the final session of the BJP national executive, Modi called upon party workers to strive to make India "shreshtha" (great) and asserted that its goal should be "triptikaran" (fulfilment) from "tushtikaran" (appeasement), something it has accused opposition parties of.

“This will lead to sabka vikas (development of all). No one should be left behind,”
