Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking at a rally in Lucknow, stated that the BJP has liberated India from the influence of a single family, criticizing the past tendency to attribute all post-independence achievements to the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty. He inaugurated a memorial site featuring statues and a museum dedicated to leaders like Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Syama Prasad Mookerjee, and Deendayal Upadhyaya. The event was attended by thousands of RSS and BJP workers.
