Union ministers and chief ministers of National Democratic Alliance (NDA)-ruled states on Tuesday hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi on completion of 11 years of governance, terming his tenure a "golden period" for the growth and development of India.
NEW DELHI:
Union home minister Amit Shah, in a post on X, highlighted the transformation of India's security during the 11 years of the NDA government. "In #11YearsOfRakshaShakti Bharat has been transformed into an unconquerable citadel of national security by PM Shri @narendramodi Ji. Building arrays of invincible human, technological, and institutional shields of defence, Modi Ji has ensured that no threat can violate our borders, internal peace, and the rights of the citizens."
Defence minister Rajnath Singh said that India's defence sector has transformed from a "largely import-driven model to becoming a trusted global exporter" during the three terms of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led NDA government.
"Powered by #AatmanirbharBharat and #MakeInIndia, this journey has led to record-high defence exports to 100+ countries, indigenous milestones like LCH Prachand, Tejas fighter jets, BrahMos missile production and the rise of defence corridors attracting massive investments," he said in a post on X. "As we celebrate #11YearsOfRakshaShakti, we honour India's stride towards strength, self-reliance and strategic global leadership."
Addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters in Lucknow on the 11th anniversary of the BJP-led NDA government and the first anniversary of the coalition's third term, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath said these years will be remembered as a "golden period" in the making of a developed and self-reliant India.
