NEW DELHI, June 9: BJP president J P Nadda on Monday hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 11 years in office, saying the work done by the government under his leadership should be written in “golden letters”.
Addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters here, he said Prime Minister Modi changed the country’s political culture and started politics of performance and good governance by providing a responsible and accountable government, while the Congress-led UPA regime was marked by “corruption, scams and appeasement” politics.
Work done by the government under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi in the past 11 years were extraordinary, and should be written in golden letters, he asserted.
Nadda slammed Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi over his recent remarks on Operation Sindoor and 2024 Maharashtra assembly elections, accusing him of playing a role of an “irresponsible” opposition leader by asking baseless questions.
“May God bless him with good sense,” the BJP chief told a press conference, when asked for a comment on the Congress leader’s remarks.
To a question about the opposition raising questions about the BJP-led government’s stability after the party lost majority on its own in the 2024 polls, Nadda quipped that the Modi government will not only complete its term in this tenure but also in the next.
The BJP chief said Prime Minister Modi provided a responsive and a strong government, and cited repealing of Article 370, abolition of triple talaq, Waqf amendment, demonetisation, women quota bill among the bold decisions taken by his government.
“Before 2014, the previous government was full of corruption and there was a sense of negativity that prevailed across the country…But after 2014, under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, that sentiment changed. Now people proudly say, ‘Modi hai to mumkin hai’”, Nadda added.
Prime Minister Modi took oath for a third term on June 9, 2024. The Modi government marks its first anniversary in the third term and 11th overall on Monday. (PTI)
