We, the BJP-NDA, are fully prepared, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi, after the Election Commission announced the schedule of 7-phase Lok Sabha elections. Welcoming the announcement of dates for the “biggest festival of democracy”, the PM said that the BJP-led NDA was “going to the people on the basis of our track record of good governance and service delivery across sectors”.
He attacked the Opposition as “rudderless and issueless” and said its “attempts of dividing society are not being accepted”. The next five years, he said, will be about establishing a “roadmap that will guide our trajectory as a nation for the next thousand years”.
In a series of posts on X, Modi said, “We, the BJP-NDA, are fully prepared for elections. We are going to the people on the basis of our track record of good governance and service delivery across sectors.” He tagged the BJP slogan of “#PhirEkBaarModiSarkar”.
He said 10 years ago, “before we assumed office, the people of India were feeling betrayed and disillusioned thanks to INDI Alliance’s pathetic governance”.
“No sector was left untouched from scams and policy paralysis. The world had given up on India. From there, it’s been a glorious turnaround,” he said.
“Powered by 140 crore Indians, our nation is creating new records of development. We have become the fifth largest economy and crores of people have been freed from poverty. Our schemes have reached all parts of India and the emphasis of saturation has yielded great results,” he said.
The people of the country, Modi said, are witnessing what “a determined, focused and result-oriented government can do. And, they want more of it. That is why from every corner of India, cutting across all sections of society, the people are saying in one voice – Ab Ki Baar, 400 Paar!”
“Our Opposition is rudderless and issueless. All they can do is abuse us and practice vote bank politics. Their dynastic approach and attempts of dividing society are not being accepted. Equally hurting them is their corruption track record. People don’t want such leadership,” he said.
“In our third term, there’s much work to be done. The last decade was about filling gaps created by those who ruled for seventy years. It was also about instilling a spirit of self-confidence that yes, India can become prosperous and self-reliant. We will build on this spirit,” he said.
The war against poverty and corruption, he said, will go on at an even faster pace and emphasis on social justice will be strong. “We are going to work towards making India the third largest global economy. We will further cement our effort for fulfilling the dreams of the youth,” he said.
“I can clearly see that the coming five years will be about our collective resolve of establishing the roadmap that will guide our trajectory as a nation for the next thousand years and make India the embodiment of prosperity, all-round growth and global leadership.”
Modi said he derives “great strength from people’s blessings, especially the poor, our farmers, Yuva and Nari Shakti.”
“When they say ‘Mai hoon Modi ka parivar’, it fills me with joy and makes me work harder to build a Viksit Bharat. This is the era to make it happen and together we will! Yahi samay hai, sahi samay hai! (This is the time, the right time),” he said.
