The PM wished party workers on the BJP's foundation day today

BJP leader and External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar while commenting on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's statement that "BJP draws inspiration from Lord Hanuman to fight corruption" on Thursday said that the BJP discovered its strength in 2014 and "kept discovering since then."

"The way lord Hanuman discovered his strength and then performed the task, the same way we discovered our strength in 2014 and kept discovering since then," Jaishankar said.

Earlier in the day, while virtually interacting with the party workers, PM Modi said, "Today India is realizing its potential just like the power of lord Hanuman. BJP party gets inspiration from lord Hanuman to fight corruption, law and order. If we see the whole life of lord Hanuman, he had a 'Can Do' attitude that helped him in bringing all kinds of success."

He added, "Hanuman Ji can do anything, does it for everyone, but does not do anything for Himself! This is what the Bharatiya Janata Party derives inspiration from!"

Extending greetings to the party workers, PM Modi said," Today we all are celebrating the foundation day of our party. I congratulate each and every BJP worker dedicated to the service of Mother India." -- ANI
