Prime Minister Narendra Modi today completed 12 years in office with the ruling BJP lauding his tenure as “glorious".
BJP national president Nitin Nabin led the greetings for the Prime Minister today and said this era, which began on 26 May, 2014, was not merely a change in governance but a historic moment of the nation’s reclaimed self-confidence and cultural renaissance under Narendra Modi.
“With the foundational mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas’ and the supreme principle of ‘Antyodaya’ as its guiding light, the government has transformed policies from mere documents into instruments of change in the lives of every individual," said nabin.
The BJP chief said on the one hand, initiatives like Jan Dhan, DBT, and the Digital Revolution had empowered the poorest at the farthest reaches; on the other, the resolve of “Vikas Bhi, Virasat Bhi" had revitalised the nation’s cultural pride alongside modern infrastructure.
“Today’s secure and capable India stands fully prepared to safeguard its sovereignty, backed by resolute strikes against terrorism and the rising valor of its armed forces. This 12-year journey of good governance and nation-first ethos now forms the strongest foundation for the grand resolve of “Viksit Bharat @ 2047," Nabin added.
Later today, Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan’s tribute to Modi called “Apnapan" will be released by former Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu. Former PM HD Deve Gowda will also attend the event.
The book details what Chouhan describes as the “life and governance lessons he took from Modi”.
It was on May 26, 2014, that Modi, then the chief minister of Gujarat, assumed office as Prime Minister of India. He has since led the BJP and NDA to three successive poll wins — equalling first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s historic record.
Modi is the only leader in independent India besides JL Nehru to secure three successive terms as Prime Minister.
