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.

Allahabad HC dismisses petition seeking permission to mount loudspeaker on mosque
Prayagraj, Jan 24 (PTI): The Allahabad High Court on Wednesday dismissed a writ petition seeking direction to the state authorities to permit the mounting of loudspeakers on a Masjid.
The court observed that the religious places were for offering prayers, therefore the use of loudspeakers was not a matter of right.
Dismissing the writ petition filed by Pilibhit-resident Mukhtiyar Ahmad, a two judge-bench, comprising Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra and Justice Donadi Ramesh, observed, "Religious places are for offering prayers to the divinity and use of loudspeakers cannot be claimed as a matter of right, particularly when often such use of loudspeakers create nuisance for the residents".
At the outset, the state counsel objected to the maintainability of the writ on the grounds that the petitioner was neither a mutawalli, nor did the mosque belong to him.
The court also noted that the petitioner did not have locus to file the writ petition.
The term 'locus' is a legal concept that refers to the right of a person or entity to participate in a legal proceeding or bring a lawsuit.
