Addressing the BJP’s national executive and its law-makers from across the country, Modi asked them to take the party beyond elections and make it an instrument of mass participation to improve quality of people’s lives.<\/p>\n
Modi’s comments at the closed-door meeting, attended by 13 chief ministers, six deputy chief ministers, over 60 union ministers besides party’s MPs and MLAs among others, were shared with the media by senior party leader Arun Jaitley.<\/p>\n
“When opposition was in government, power was a means of enjoyment for it. Now they do not know how to behave as opposition,” Modi told the meeting, according to Jaitley.<\/p>\n
The prime minister also underlined his resolve to fight corruption, saying his “battle against it is uncompromising. No one will be spared. I have no relatives”.<\/p>\n
