BJP chief echoes Modi’s ‘naraz fufa’ jibe against Opposition
BJP leader Nitin Nabin criticized India’s Opposition parties.
He compared them to a “naraz fufa,” meaning an unhappy uncle who complains about everything.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had used the same comparison one day earlier.
Nabin said the Opposition is unhappy even when India makes progress.
He pointed to economic growth, job creation and poverty reduction as examples.
He also mentioned the hoisting of India’s flag at Lal Chowk after Article 370 was removed.
Nabin said the government wants to build a developed India by 2047.
He said this plan would continue with support from the country’s citizens.
BJP president Nitin Nabin compared India’s Opposition to a perpetually dissatisfied “naraz fufa,” or disgruntled uncle.
Nabin echoed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s criticism of opponents who resist government initiatives and India’s progress.
He cited development claims including 7.8% growth, employment creation, poverty reduction and the eradication of Naxalism.
Nabin said the government’s goal of achieving “Viksit Bharat by 2047” would continue despite Opposition criticism.
He attributed the effort to the support of India’s 140 crore citizens and defended the government’s record in Jammu and Kashmir.
