Bose had earlier attended the ceremony where 100 files on Netaji were declassified by the NDA government on January 23 and had said, “We welcome this step by the Prime Minister wholeheartedly. This is a day of transparency in India.”
“Joining a political party is a personal matter but I feel your principle and ideology matter. The BJP believes in the ideology of Subhas Chandra Bose,” he said.
Lately, Chandra Bose has been heaping praise on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the NDA government.
On January 23 when Modi government declassified 100 files related to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, he had said, “The country is waiting to see how the NDA Government will transform a government of suppression and deceit” to a government of transparency and openness.”
He had also stated that “We feel that certain very important files were destroyed during the Congress regime in order to hide the truth. We have documentary evidence to understand this. So, we feel the Indian government should take steps to ensure the release of files lying in Russia, Germany, UK and USA.”
