We are all humbled to bear witness to the hard work , the perseverance and the selflessness of karyakartas who seek no post, no glory for self but are purely driven with a strong desire to build a New India— resilient, resurgent, committed to sabka saath, sabka vikas.

Targetting the opposition, Irani added, “In the last 5 years not a day went by when Narendra Modi was not subjected to humiliation and hateful barbs by the opposition. However, as karyakartas, we take pride that the citizens of the Nation stood by the PM through every Endeavour, every initiative.
We are conscious of the sacrifices made by the families of karyakartas especially in Kerala and West Bengal. No words will ever be enough to pay homage to those who died. However , the best tribute would be that every day we contribute constructively to Nation building.

Irani is up against Congress President Rahul Gandhi from Amethi constituency in Uttar Pradesh. The constituency voted on May 6 in the fifth phase. The BJP leader held back-to-back road- shows and political rallies in the state in an effort to woo voters.
This election was about the people versus the opposition. The people stood firm against the anarchists who screamed ‘ Bharat ke tukde honge’. It is to those citizens that I give my grateful thanks for they resolutely and unabashedly believed in ‘Bharat’ & her future.
