(The writer is national president of BJP) Under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi ji, central govt has completed 12 years dedicated to trust, development and public welfare. This glorious era of âSankalp se Siddhiâ has witnessed unprecedented growth in Indiaâs development, security, economic empowerment and global prestige.Congress left the country with a legacy of uncertainty, corruption and weak leadership, while PM Modi has given Bharat a new identity built on self-confidence, good governance and development. Today, the world sees Bharat not merely as a regional power but as one of the greatest powers of the 21st century. While Congress viewed politics merely as a tool to protect dynastic legacy for years, PM Modi redefined it as a mission of âNation Above Familyâ and âService Above Powerâ.In 2014, PM first gave the nation âCollective Thinkingâ, then on the strength of public trust, converted that thinking into âCollective Resolveâ, and today that very resolve has taken the form of a vast âCollective Dreamâ in the shape of a âViksit Bharatâ.This great transformation began with an unprecedented revolution in infrastructure.
Before 2014, the country was struggling with a shortage of basic facilities.The result of this change on the ground is that more than 12 crore toilets have been built, 100% electrification has been achieved, expressway network has grown 7 times, and airports have risen from 74 to 165.This era stands as a testament to our liberation from a colonial mindset and marks the beginning of true decolonisation. The renaming of historic landmarks to Lok Kalyan Marg, Kartavya Path and Seva Teerth are living proof of this cultural resurgence.Todayâs youth is not becoming a âjob seekerâ but a âjob giverâ. With more than 2 lakh startups and over 125 unicorns, India is moving from âman powerâ towards âmanufacturing powerâ. Similarly, the country is witnessing a shift from âwomen developmentâ to âwomen-led developmentâ, where more than 3 crore âLakhpati Didisâ and a fourfold increase in women officers in security forces reflect self-reliance of Nari Shakti.In the field of welfare of poor, 25 crore people have been brought above poverty line.
Four crore permanent houses, Ayushman shield for over 44 crore citizens, and collateral-free loans worth Rs 40 lakh crore under PM Mudra Yojana formed its foundation. Driven by the Jan Dhan-Aadhaar-Mobile trinity and UPI, India now clocks an incredible Rs 314 lakh crore in annual digital transactions, commanding 49% share of global digital payments.Strategic priority given to border development under PM Modi marks a profound shift in national policy. What were once overlooked as Indiaâs âlast villagesâ have now taken centerstage as Indiaâs âfirst villagesâ.Finally, after a wait of 500 years, construction of the grand Ram temple and restoration of Kashi Vishwanath Dham and Mahakal Mahalok are reawakening of that civilisational consciousness of our cultural nationalism.Today, India is not only growing continuously stronger internally but has also rapidly emerged as a superpower on the global stage.
