India’s ruling Bhyaratiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday (26) highlighted the achievements of nine years of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government and said the country has witnessed “all-round development and inclusive growth” under the leadership of prime minister Narendra Modi.

The nine years of the Modi government were dedicated to bring about development, which is “inclusive, progressive and sustainable”, the party said.

Addressing the media at an event organised in New Delhi to mark the ninth anniversary of the NDA government which came to power in 2014, BJP’s national president J P Nadda said India has seen “all-round development and inclusive growth” under Modi.

Nadda cited the prime minister’s speech that he delivered on his return from a three-nation tour on Thursday (25) to assert that his government has not only strengthened India’s roots, but has also paid equal attention to its growth and development.

The event was attended by senior BJP leaders and several heavyweight federal ministers, including home minister Amit Shah, defence minister Rajnath Singh and women and child development minister Smriti Irani.

“These nine years of prime minister Narendra Modi’s government have been dedicated to bring about development which is inclusive, progressive and sustainable,” the party said in a booklet released at the event.

“In stark contrast to the earlier piecemeal approach to development, the Modi government has brought in a culture of holistic development that leaves no one behind,” it said.

The government has been “steadfast” in its commitment towards creating equity and opportunity for all citizens, it added.

In the last nine years, there has been a paradigm shift in public service delivery and implementation of government schemes using the “JAM” trinity — Jan Dhan, Aadhaar and Mobile — the party said.

The Modi government has effectively deployed technology and digital tools to ensure transparency and plug leakages in governance, it added.

Since assuming office in 2014, Modi has remained firm in his resolve of keeping “India first” in every policy formulation, the party said.

“This resolve is evident in the government’s handling of both external and internal security, economic management, empowerment schemes for marginalised groups, efforts at cultural conservation and so on,” it added.
