They said that during the last five years, India has seen a government that has delivered corruption-free good governance and development oriented administration.

“During this period, India has acquired greater respect globally. It is our firm conviction that the continuance of the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the need of the hour,” they said.

“Besides, when challenges like terrorism are before all of us, we need a “Majboot Sarkar” and not a “Mazboor Sarkar” and hence we need the present Govt. to continue.” they added.
