Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said the Armed forces demanded One Rank One Pension (OROP) and nothing happened for 40 years, but the The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government fulfilled the promise.
“For 40 years our forces demanded OROP but nothing happened. I had promised BJP Govt will deliver on OROP and we did,” Modi said while addressing a rally in Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh (UP).

“We are so proud of what our forces did. It was done after elaborate planning & is being talked about world over,” Modi said.
“Sadly, there are some people who are so driven by political considerations that they want to question our armed forces,” he added.
“Those who question surgical strikes- come to Jaunpur & ask the families of the martyrs. Why politicise issues of national security,” Modi said.
Meanwhile, Modi thanked the people for attending his rallies.
“In this scorching heat also I can see a Jan Sagar. Wherever I turn, I can see only people. Thank you for coming to bless us,” Modi said.
“Loans of small farmers will be waived off in the first cabinet meeting after a BJP Government assumes office in Uttar Pradesh,” he added.
