India an emerging model: Modi

RECALLING THE RECENT Bihar election victory of the NDA, Modi cautioned all state governments that their politics of today would determine the future of their political parties.

People in Bihar had still not forgotten “jungle raj” of Lalu Prasad's days, he said.

The PM said that after the Bihar elections, the media started saying that Modi and the BJP are always in election mode. "Not election mode — one must remain in emotion mode," he said, adding that one should relentlessly keep working for the poor. "In the last few decades, some parties and families have worked for their own interest in the name of social justice,'Modi said, adding that the fact that about 940 million people in India today are covered by the social security net is actual social justice. Modi also said that the footprint of Maoism was continuously shrinking, and accused the Congress of promoting Maoism even in urban areas when it was in power.

“Congress promoted Naxalism even in urbanareas,’he said, adding that the urban Naxals have now transformed the party into the “Muslim League Maoist Congress”.

The PM said that while the world had struggled since Covid, India was still maintaining a growth rate of about 7%.“At a time when the world is fearful of disruption, India is confidently moving in the direction of a bright future,’ he said.
