New Delhi, June 9
BJP national president J P Nadda said the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has laid a “strong foundation” for a developed and self-reliant India.
Addressing a press briefing to mark 11 years of the Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre, Nadda said, “These 11 years have seen the transformation of governance into a transparent and future-oriented system. We are no longer just talking about development, we are realising the vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat’ in this Amrit Kaal.”
He added that the ruling NDA will complete the current and the next terms. The Prime Minister has taken India from pessimism to optimism in 11 years of his government, Nadda said, adding that the scale of work done by the government has been “incredible and unimaginable and one that should be written in golden letters”.
He said the PM took the country from pessimism to optimism and took bold decisions confronting complex issues upfront, including striking terrorists in their den as evidenced in Operation Sindoor. “The work done in these 11 years should be written in golden letters as incredible and unimaginable. PM Modi has transformed India’s political culture in these years and created a new normal and new order,” Nadda said.
He castigated Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for “repeatedly maligning institutions”, including the Election Commission and raising questions on Operation Sindoor.
“In the all-party meet he says he is with the nation. Outside, he raises questions. This is irresponsible conduct. Likewise, when they win in Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka it’s fine, but when they lose anywhere, they blame the BJP. It is like when you win a cricket match you are great players but when you lose it the umpire is biased,” said Nadda.
Among the NDA government’s bold decisions in 11 years, Nadda mentioned the abrogation of Article 370, criminalisation of triple talaq, demonetisation, Waqf Act and CAA.
“What was considered impossible — such as the abrogation of Article 370 — was also achieved,” Nadda said. The government worked for the welfare of the poor not as a slogan but as conviction.
The BJP President said the government was committed to enacting ‘one nation one election’ and would build a people’s movement for it. Crediting the NDA for ushering in economic discipline, Nadda said, “PM Modi ran a people-led government and set new standards of transparency. This is a futuristic government. That’s why we talk about Viksit Bharat and Amrit Kaal. In 11 years, we have formed the basis for Viksit Bharat.”
Nadda said the government before 2014 was mired in corruption and scandals and was working for appeasement.
