There was uncertainty and lack of purpose. Now we have a government with a determined leadership, nationalist policies and progressive governance,&#8221; Jaitley said.<\/p>\n<p>The resolution also dealt with economically and socially inclusive policies of the government, good governance and its thrust on infrastructure development, he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the debate on nationalism coming to the fore, BJP today said freedom of expression does not give a right to seek the country&#8217;s destruction, as the issue found the pride of place in the political resolution adopted at its National Executive meeting here.
