11 YEARS OF MODI 3.0
New Delhi, June 10 -- The 11 years of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government will be written in golden letters because it ushered in changes with wider ramifications on polity, society and economics, and laid the foundations of Viksit Bharat or developed India, Union minister and Bharatiya Janata Party chief JP Nadda said on Monday.
Addressing the media on the 11th anniversary of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance government and the first anniversary of the coalition's third term, Nadda said Modi changed the country's political culture and made room for performance-driven politics and good governance by implementing a model of "responsible and accountable" government.
He also criticised the Opposition, underscored that NDA will finish this term and the next, and said God should give Congress leader Rahul Gandhi wisdom. Separately, Union home minister Amit Shah said that the 11 years proved to be a milestone in the direction of national security, while adding that India now responds to terror attacks by entering the home of terrorists.
"The work that has been dedicated to Amrit Kaal should be written in golden words. It is unprecedented. He (PM) changed the political culture...11 years ago the country had a political culture of appeasement and bifurcating society. PM Modi has reshaped the Indian political culture...it is now a people-led government. Over the past years, we have brought transparency and built a forward-looking, futuristic administration. We are a responsive, responsible and accountable government. And we are proud to say, the government set up a new normal of effective, decisive government and one that brings economic discipline," Nadda said. With Operation Sindoor, India's military response to the Pakistan-sponsored April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam dominating the political and security narrative, Nadda said the PM confronted all problems upfront. He said India's doctrine that all terror attacks will be considered an act of war has become "the new normal."
"When Uri happened (in 2016) for the first time the PM said, the sacrifice of the soldiers will not go in vain and then surgical strike happened. When Pulwama happened (in 2019) he said you made a big mistake and you will have to bear the brunt of it. And the air strikes happened (in Balakote)...After Pahalgam, he said in Patna, that the response will be beyond imagination..." Nadda said. He was referring to Operation Sindoor.
He credited the government for cracking down on Naxalism. "Under the Modi government, the number of districts affected by Naxals has significantly reduced from 126 to just 18. Top leaders of Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) have been eliminated. There was a time when the defence minister used to say 'we don't build roads in border areas so that the enemy can't reach us.' Today, that mindset has changed completely," Nadda said....
