Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a reflective address today, marking a significant milestone as his government completed ten years in office since 2014. In his speech broadcasted nationwide, Modi recounted the transformative journey of India under his leadership, emphasizing the profound shift from skepticism to optimism that has reshaped the nation’s outlook.
Addressing the nation, Modi recalled the prevalent sentiment before 2014, encapsulated by the phrase, “Iss desh ka kuch nahi ho sakta” (Nothing can happen in this country). He acknowledged the pervasive sense of disillusionment that had permeated Indian society, attributing it to a lack of confidence and leadership.
“Our journey over the past decade has been about restoring belief — belief in ourselves, in our potential, and in our collective ability to achieve greatness,” Modi declared. He credited the decisive mandate given by the people of India in 2014 as a mandate for change, marking the beginning of a new era characterized by bold reforms and inclusive growth.
Highlighting key achievements of his government, Modi cited initiatives such as the Jan Dhan Yojana for financial inclusion, the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan for sanitation, and the Ayushman Bharat health scheme for universal healthcare access. These initiatives, he emphasized, were not mere policy measures but milestones in India’s journey towards becoming a more equitable and prosperous society.
“One of our proudest achievements has been to overturn the defeatist attitude that once held us back and replace it with a spirit of optimism and resilience,” Modi asserted. He spoke passionately about the transformation in national sentiment, noting how India had transitioned from being seen as a land of missed opportunities to a land of boundless potential and possibilities.
Looking ahead, Modi outlined his vision for India’s future, envisioning a nation that leads the world in innovation, sustainability, and inclusivity. He reiterated his government’s commitment to building a self-reliant India that harnesses the talents and aspirations of its diverse population.
As Modi concluded his address, he called upon all Indians to continue their contributions towards building a stronger and more prosperous nation. His message resonated deeply with citizens across the country, who expressed pride in India’s progress under his leadership and optimism for the future.
As India prepares for upcoming elections, Modi’s narrative of transformation and empowerment is expected to resonate strongly, shaping public discourse and reaffirming his leadership in steering India towards greater heights on the global stage.
