New Delhi, June 9: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday said that the work done under Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the last 11 years would be written in `golden letters’.
BJP president and Union Health Minister JP Nadda said the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, currently at the helm, would not only complete its ongoing term fully but would also be voted back in 2029.
The Modi government marks its first anniversary in the third term on Monday (June 9, 2025). Modi took oath for a third term as Prime Minister on June 9, 2024.
“Prime Minister Modi has 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 (United Progressive Alliance) regime was marked by corruption, scams, and ‘appeasement politics’,” Nadda said.
He listed out bold decisions by the Modi government, including the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution, which accorded special status to Jammu and Kashmir; the passage of the Triple Talaq Act; the Women’s Reservation Act, 2023 which makes provisions for reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and the State Assemblies; and the Waqf Act.
On key initiatives taken by the PM Modi-led government to cater to the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, the BJP president highlighted, “abrogation of Article 370, the country had accepted that this was not possible, but the Modi government removed Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir.”
“The turnout in the Lok Sabha was 58.46 per cent, while the turnout in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections was 63 per cent. This change has come due to the bold decision of the Modi government,” he said
Giving credit to PM Modi for the completion of the recently inaugurated Chenab Bridge, Nadda said, “In 1995, during the time of Narasimha Rao ji, the foundation stone of Chenab Bridge was laid, Atal ji declared it a project of national importance and PM Modi completed this project and dedicated it to the nation on 6 June 2025.”
“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 (all is possible with Modi)’,” Nadda said.
“People’s participation has significantly increased under the Modi government because of the strong trust in leadership. If I talk about demonetisation, I remember how other political parties were instigating the public to take advantage. You may have forgotten, but I do not forget. But the common man of India stood in front of the bank for hours and supported the demonetisation decision of the Modi government. When there is trust in the leadership, the public supports it,” Nadda said.
He said that under Modi’s leadership, key policies, including the National Education Policy and National Health Policy, were implemented smoothly with wide support, and campaigns, including the Swachh Bharat Mission, became major public movements.
“This is the same country where, in the past, even Education Ministers struggled to hold press conferences together. But today, we collectively agreed on the National Education Policy, a result of one of the widest and most inclusive consultation processes in our history. Thanks to a holistic approach, we introduced a new National Health Policy smoothly, without confusion or chaos. Initiatives like Swachh Bharat have become among the most successful mass movements,” Nadda said.
Responding to queries on what his response would be to the remarks by the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, on the electoral integrity of the results of the Maharashtra Assembly election, Nadda accused Gandhi of playing the role of an “irresponsible” Opposition leader by asking baseless questions.
“May God bless him with good sense,” Nadda said, when asked to specify what he meant.
To a question on the Opposition doubting the BJP-led government’s stability after the party lost majority on its own in the 2024 Lok Sabha election, Nadda quipped that the Modi government would not only complete its term in this tenure, but also in the next.
