Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday, 6 April, interacted with Bharatiya Janata Party workers of five Lok Sabha seats and the presidents of the party's 734 district units though his NaMo App, to mark the party's 38th foundation day.

‘We Want to Work With Shiv Sena': Amit Shah in Mumbai
The BJP celebrated its 38th foundation day, marking the day with a mega event in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex.
Addressing a press conference in Mumbai, party president Amit Shah said that the party was not aiming to bring in a “Congress-mukt Bharat,” but a “Congress culture-mukt Bharat.”
Addressing concerns about the BJP's rocky relationship with the Shiv Sena, the BJP president said the party wished to stay with its local alliance partner.

He also criticised the Opposition for launching a joint effort to take down the BJP government in the upcoming 2019 general elections. “I have heard that whenever floods happen, all the animals come together. Similarly, all these animals like snakes, dogs, cats and mongoose are coming together to fight the Modi flood,” he said.
Earlier in the day, Shah had also blamed the Opposition for the Budget Session washout. “Ghulam Nabi Azad, you fix the stage and we'll be up for debate. We have nothing to hide," the BJP president had reportedly said.
Union minister Nitin Gadkari and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also took to the dais at the party's ‘Maha Rally' in the Bandra Kurla complex.
