New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi Saturday said he will fulfil all expectations of the people of India.

Modi was speaking at the Bharatiya Janata Party’s first national council meet at the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium here.

Modi Saturday called Rajnath Singh the “captain” and Amit Shah the “man of the match” of the BJP team that won the Lok Sabha elections.

Modi was speaking at the Bharatiya Janata Party’s first national council meet after the general elections.

Modi stated that he neither had knowledge about the “geography” of parliament nor about the streets of Delhi.

“I did not know the geography of parliament, and did not know about the ‘gali mohalla’ (streets and colonies) of Delhi,” Modi said.

“People thought what will he do in Delhi… even I thought so…,” Modi said at the Bharatiya Janata Party’s first national council meet at the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium here.

He further quoted, “Hamare liye dal se badhkar desh hai. (For us, country is greater than the party),”

Speaking in Hindi, Modi said that during the Emergency, he along with other leaders sacrificed the Jana Sangh for the country, thinking “desh ka hit” (national welfare) was “supreme”.

Modi also said the BJP will not tolerate any act of violence that affects the nation.

The BJP can carve a separate identity for itself by encouraging party workers to work for a social cause each year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Saturday said here.

Speaking at the party’s national council meet, Modi suggested to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that each year can be “dedicated to an issue about the welfare of the society and not necessarily restricted to politics”.

“Every party worker should work on programmes on the social issue for a particular year,” he said.

“For instance, one year can be dedicated to energy saving…the next to building toilets in villages…,” he said.
