Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed NDA leaders at a conclave on June 10, 2026, shortly after becoming India's longest-serving elected Prime Minister. He expressed gratitude to the people and alliance partners for their unwavering trust, describing his tenure as a "collective yagya" and a form of public service. Modi highlighted major achievements in infrastructure, digital growth, poverty reduction, defence exports, and connectivity. He contrasted the NDA's governance model with the Congress era, asserting that political stability and decisive leadership have accelerated development. The Prime Minister urged NDA leaders to continue working towards the goal of a Viksit Bharat.
Key Achievements Highlighted
During his address, Modi outlined several key accomplishments under the NDA government. These include significant advancements in infrastructure such as highways, railways, and airports; digital initiatives that expanded internet access and digital payments; and poverty reduction programs that lifted millions above the poverty line. Defence exports also saw a substantial increase, with India becoming a major exporter of defence equipment. Connectivity projects, including rural road networks and broadband expansion, were also emphasized as milestones.
Contrast with Congress Era
Modi drew a sharp contrast between the NDA's governance and the Congress era, which he characterized by policy paralysis and corruption. He argued that the previous government lacked the political will to implement transformative reforms. In contrast, the NDA's stable leadership enabled bold decisions such as the abrogation of Article 370, the implementation of GST, and the construction of the Ram Temple. Modi asserted that this stability has been crucial for India's rapid progress on the global stage.
Call for Continued Efforts
The Prime Minister urged NDA leaders to remain committed to the vision of a Viksit Bharat (Developed India) by 2047. He emphasized the need for collective effort and unity among alliance partners to achieve this goal. Modi also thanked the people for their support, calling it a testament to the trust in the NDA's development agenda.
The conclave served as a platform to reaffirm the coalition's commitment to good governance and inclusive growth, with leaders from various states sharing their perspectives on regional development. The event concluded with a resolve to work tirelessly for the nation's progress.
