On the 12th anniversary of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterated his vision for a 'Viksit Bharat' (Developed India), asserting that the people of India have come to understand the importance of political stability. Addressing the NDA Conclave in Delhi on June 10, 2026, PM Modi highlighted the achievements of the past 12 years and credited the alliance for freeing the country from what he termed the Congress party's 'vicious trap.'
Key Achievements of NDA Rule
PM Modi emphasized that the NDA government's biggest success has been to liberate India from the Congress party's long-standing grip, which he described as a 'vicious trap' that hindered progress. He noted that the people now recognize the value of a stable government that works decisively for national development. The Prime Minister also reiterated his commitment to transforming India into a developed nation by 2047, marking 100 years of independence.
Political Stability as a Foundation for Growth
Modi stated that political stability has been the cornerstone of the NDA's governance model. He argued that frequent changes in government and policy paralysis under previous regimes had hampered India's growth. 'People have understood the importance of political stability, and that is why they have repeatedly blessed the NDA with their mandate,' he said. The Prime Minister credited this stability for enabling long-term planning and implementation of flagship schemes.
Vision for Viksit Bharat
Reiterating his dream of a 'Viksit Bharat,' Modi outlined the government's focus on infrastructure, digital transformation, self-reliance in defense, and social welfare. He urged NDA allies to work collectively towards this goal, emphasizing that the alliance represents the aspirations of 140 crore Indians. The conclave also saw participation from various NDA partners, who expressed their support for the government's agenda.
Criticism of Congress
Without naming specific leaders, PM Modi launched a sharp critique of the Congress party, accusing it of undermining national progress through dynastic politics and corruption. He claimed that the NDA's governance model has restored faith in democracy and ensured that development reaches the last mile. The Prime Minister also highlighted the government's efforts in improving ease of living and boosting economic growth.
Looking Ahead
As the NDA completes 12 years in power, Modi called for a renewed commitment to public service and nation-building. He expressed confidence that under the NDA's leadership, India would achieve its goal of becoming a developed nation. The event marked a significant moment for the alliance, which has been in power at the center since 2014, with Modi serving as Prime Minister for a third consecutive term.
