Launching an attack at the Congress, Nadda said, “The erstwhile governments believed in isolation and ignorance. They wanted to keep the people isolated, ignore them and increase their vote bank politics. This was the style of functioning of the Congress party and other parties. But when Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister, he said – Look East, Act East, Act Fast and Act First.”
