Dialogue necessary in democracy: Modi hails BJP grassroot workers
New Delhi, Sep 13 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday stressed that dialogue in a democracy and political system is necessary and the BJP owes its victories to its grassroot-level workers.
The Prime Minister said the motto of every worker should be "Mera Booth, Sabse Majboot' (My booth is the strongest).
He said the two-day National Executive meeting of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which had concluded some days back was "very productive" as he interacted with the party workers from five Lok Sabha seats through the 'Narendra Modi Mobile App' on Thursday.
The five constituencies were Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad, Bihar's Nawada, Jharkhand's Hazaribagh, Rajasthan's Jaipur rural and the Arunachal Pradesh West parliamentary constituency.
"The BJP has spread over every corner of the country," Modi said, and added that it was all due to the contribution and dedicated hard work of the ordinary party workers.
The BJP owes its victory to its booth-level members, he said, adding that the party decides leadership on the basis of work ethics.
He said the party's victory has proved that 'Mera booth, sabse majboot' should be the motto of every party worker. He said he was glad to witness the energy and enthusiasm of the party workers.
"Ajeya Bharat, Atal Bhajapa' (A country which remains victorious and cannot be subjugated by anyone and a BJP which remains firm in its principles) is the inspiration for all of us," Modi said.

Bengaluru man arrested for sharing misleading ‘zombie drug’ video
Bengaluru (PTI): A day after a video of a man seen in a disoriented state went viral on social media with claims that he was under the influence of a so-called “zombie drug”, police on Friday arrested a 29-year-old employee of a private firm here for uploading the “misleading” video.
Hemanth, a resident of Vidyaranyapura, was issued a notice to join the inquiry, police said.
Learning that the police were looking for him, he posted an apology on social media. He was later taken into custody, a senior police officer said.
A case has been registered against him under Sections 353(2), relating to statements conducing to public mischief, including spreading false information or rumours that could incite public disorder, and Section 352, dealing with intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace, among others, under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, police added.
After Hemanth uploaded the video, it quickly went viral on Thursday.
Later, police clarified that the man shown in a disoriented state in the video had not consumed any narcotic or psychotropic substance.
He was subjected to a medical examination, and the report confirmed that there was no trace of narcotic substances, Bengaluru police said.
The police also urged the public not to spread unverified or misleading information on social media platforms, as such content can create unnecessary panic and harm individuals’ reputations.
The footage, which circulated widely on social media, showed the man standing motionless. People claimed he might be under the influence of a synthetic “zombie drug” and raised concerns about its availability in the city.
An inquiry revealed that the individual seen in the video had come to Bengaluru in search of a livelihood and had been residing there for the past three months, police said, adding that further investigation is ongoing.
The police warned that strict action will be taken against persons found spreading false information or rumours.
