Modi 3.0 completed one year in the Government today and a total of 11 years in power at the Centre.
“When Uri happened, the Prime Minister in his speech had stated that reply will be given for the attack. This was for the first time when the Prime Minister directly dropped indications of action to the enemy. And the India carried out surgical strikes,” the BJP president, who is also Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare, said.
He said when Pulwama attack took place, the Prime Minister stated that they (the enemy Pakistan) have committed big mistake and will have to face consequences. Then, Balakote airstrikes took place, he added.
“This time (after Baisaran terror attack in Pahalgam), the Prime Minister while addressing a rally at Bihar’s Madhubani district warned that reply for the terror attack will be beyond imagination of the perpetrators. And you know, terror infrastructure and military bases were destroyed (deep inside Pakistan),” Nadda said.
He said the Prime Minister has made it very clear that any terror attack will be treated as an “act of war”. The PM has also declared that India is not going to be blackmailed by nuclear threat.
“The Prime Minister has stated that terrorists and those sheltering terrorists will be treated at par and action taken against them. The Government has confronted terrorism from the front and gave befitting reply to all such acts during last 11 years,” the BJP president said.
He cited the repeal of Article 370, abolition of triple talaq, amendment in Waqf law, the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, demonetization and the Women’s Reservation Bill as among the bold decisions taken by his Government.
Modi, he said, believes in confronting the challenges facing the country, be it terrorism, Naxalism or COVID.
“Before 2014, the then 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’. People believe Modi will solve the problems,” Nadda added.
PTI adds: The 11 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Government will be written in golden letters for the positive changes it has affected, BJP president J P Nadda asserted on Monday while slamming Rahul Gandhi as an “irresponsible” opposition leader and accusing him of raising “baseless” questions.
Modi made the Government accountable and responsive while confronting challenges head-on, putting an end to “scams, divisive politics, appeasement and overall negativism” which marked the 10 years of the Congress-led UPA rule.
“May God give him good sense,” Nadda said of Gandhi when asked about the Congress leader’s criticism of the Government’s foreign policy and questions about the likely losses of fighter aircraft India might have suffered in military conflict with Pakistan during Operation Sindoor.
The BJP chief said, “It is difficult to understand his (Gandhi’s) aim. He attends the all-party meeting and says he stands with the country. He goes outside and raises questions that are baseless. I can only say that he is playing the role of an irresponsible opposition.”
Nadda expressed confidence that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) Government will complete its tenure and quipped that it will last its next full term as well. He was asked about opposition leaders making dire predictions about its stability after the BJP, the principal NDA constituent, lost majority in the 2024 polls.
“Our Government is strong. It will last for five years in this term and the next too,” he said.
The Government led by Modi has laid the foundation of a ‘Viksit Bharat’, and India is successfully on its way to achieving its goals with people’s participation, he said.
Dismissing Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh’s swipe at Modi for not addressing a press conference on the Government’s anniversary, Nadda wondered what is wrong when the president of the main party in power has spoken to the media.
