Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing the National Convention of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at Delhi’s Bharat Mandapam, took a sharp swipe at opposition parties, accusing them of lacking in the fulfillment of promises while excelling in making false pledges.
During his speech on the concluding day of the convention, PM Modi emphasized the stark contrast between the BJP’s commitment to development and what he described as the opposition’s failure to deliver on their promises. He reiterated his party’s pledge for a ‘Viksit Bharat’ (Developed India) and asserted that while the opposition may shy away from similar promises, the BJP is steadfast in its determination to make India the world’s third-largest economy during its third term, branding it as “Modi ki Guarantee.”
PM Modi outlined the tangible benefits of achieving such a milestone, including the upliftment of living standards, increased incomes, modernization of public transport, expanded employment opportunities, empowerment of women, and the integration of modern technologies in agriculture to benefit farmers.
Highlighting the participatory approach of the government in shaping the vision of ‘Viksit Bharat’, PM Modi disclosed that over 15 lakh people, with a significant portion being youth, have contributed suggestions and ideas toward this goal. He emphasized the importance of harnessing the energy of India’s youth, announcing preparations for the Youth Olympics in 2029 and laying the groundwork for India to host the Olympics in 2036.
Moreover, PM Modi outlined various initiatives aimed at reducing India’s carbon footprint, such as making Indian Railways carbon-free and promoting ‘green jobs’ to decrease dependency on other nations. He also highlighted efforts to bolster the agricultural sector through initiatives like the ‘Amrit Sarovar’ campaign, which has seen the construction of over 60,000 ponds across the country to benefit farmers.
The Prime Minister’s address underlines the BJP’s commitment to realizing its vision of a prosperous and developed India while taking a dig at the opposition’s perceived lack of credibility in delivering on their promises.
