Lucknow, June 5: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to break the record of all democratically elected Prime Ministers on June 9. This milestone will surpass the tenure of India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. In this context, ministers from Uttar Pradesh have commended PM Modi’s leadership and achievements during his record tenure.
Uttar Pradesh’s Finance Minister Suresh Khanna and Minister Daya Shankar Singh highlighted PM Modi’s 12-year term as a historic achievement for the nation. Finance Minister Khanna stated in an interview that Modi’s upcoming 12 years in office will be recorded as the longest continuous prime ministership in independent India. Under his leadership, India has gained a new identity on the global stage. Today, his popularity around the world and India’s growing reputation is a source of pride for every Indian.
Khanna noted that while many parts of the world are engulfed in war and instability, India is progressing on a path of development, celebration, and advancement. This situation is a result of PM Modi’s visionary leadership and robust policies.
Meanwhile, Transport Minister Daya Shankar Singh remarked that the Modi government has made significant progress in both economic and social sectors over the past 12 years. In 2014, India ranked 11th among the world’s economies, but today it is rapidly moving towards becoming the third-largest economy globally. India has established itself as the fastest-growing major economy and is working systematically towards the goal of a developed India by 2047.
Singh emphasized that if the country continues on this development path, India will remain a major center for global economic growth in the coming years. He highlighted various welfare schemes, stating that uplifting the poor is one of the Modi government’s greatest achievements. The Ujjwala scheme has provided cooking gas connections to millions of women, positively changing their lives and relieving them from smoke-related issues.
He added that previously, farmers, the poor, women, and youth were often limited to electoral slogans, but in the last 12 years, substantial and effective actions have been taken for their welfare. Programs like the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi and crop insurance schemes have significantly transformed farmers’ lives. The government has also made extensive efforts in rural development, infrastructure, health, education, and employment. Important steps have been taken to strengthen national security, with India making remarkable progress towards self-reliance in the defense sector, successfully manufacturing various defense equipment, including modern fighter jets.
In the context of Uttar Pradesh, he mentioned that two defense corridors are being developed in the state, playing a crucial role in boosting defense production and investment. The BrahMos missile is being manufactured in Lucknow, a point of pride for both the state and the nation. He also referenced the Jal Jeevan Mission, noting that areas like Bulandshahr, which once faced drinking water crises, are now benefiting from the ‘Har Ghar Nal Jal’ scheme. The central government‘s initiatives have significantly contributed to improving the living standards of people in both rural and urban areas.
