Modi asks BJP leaders, workers to follow 7 precepts

Allahabad, June 13  Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday exhorted BJP leaders and workers to embrace seven precepts that he said would strengthen the party and increase its presence all across India.

"Sense of service, balance, patience, coordination, positive attitude, sensitivity and dialogue were the seven points the prime minister asked party leaders and workers to follow," Finance Minister Arun Jaitley told reporters here.

Jaitley said the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government has had "two successful years" in office, making policy paralysis a thing of the past.

"It's a historical period for all of us," the minister said.

He said the BJP's two-day National Executive convention in Allahabad, which concluded on Monday, was held when the party was doing "really well".

Among other things, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) discussed how it would strengthen its presence in states where it was not doing well earlier, Jaitley said.
