On the first Sunday after assuming office, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spent considerable time with the Bharatiya Janata Party office bearers and workers at the party headquarters here, hailing their contribution in the impressive victory of the party in the 2014 Lok Sabha election.

Referring to the new government’s bold initiative of inviting leaders from the SAARC countries to his swearing-in ceremony on May 26, Mr. Modi said it was a “right decision” which has sent a positive message to the world.

He asked the party workers to strive to uphold the trust of the people who have a lot of expectations from the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance government. Home Minister Rajnath Singh was also present at the party headquarters.

Describing “karyakarta” (party worker) as bigger than the Prime Minister, Mr. Modi said the faith and trust reposed by the people in the BJP should never be betrayed.

While hailing the democratic traditions that are firmly rooted in the country, Mr. Modi said the BJP workers should remain steadfast in their commitment to public welfare.
