Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed Bharatiya Janata Party workers via video conferencing on the party's 47th foundation day on April 6, 2026. He underlined that Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and One Nation One Election remain "our mission," noting a "serious discussion" nationwide with "constructive progress" (sakaratmak pragati).
Modi identified demographic changes and "infiltration" as challenges that only the BJP can combat. He referenced Uttarakhand's UCC implementation on January 27, 2025, and Gujarat Assembly's legislation passed last month. The UCC forms part of the Directive Principles under Article 44 of the Constitution.
Modi recalled achievements like the Ram temple construction and abrogation of Article 370. On foreign policy amid wars, he invoked Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, stating India now maintains "equal closeness" with all nations. He aimed to implement women's reservation in Parliament by 2029 via the Naari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam.
He paid tribute to workers who lost lives in hostile states like West Bengal and Kerala. Modi praised new BJP president Nitin Nabin for infusing "newness" and credited RSS as inspiration. He noted fresh energy ahead of elections in Assam, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Puducherry.
