PM praises massive infra transformation
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday lauded the massive infrastructure transformation that has taken place across the country over the past 11 years. As part of the celebrations marking 11 years of the NDA government at the Centre, Modi met the Delhi Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, at his residence. This was his first meeting with the Delhi leadership following the BJP's return to power in the national capital. The meeting was also attended by party MPs, MLAs, and state office-bearers.
With Covid-19 cases resurging across the country, all leaders who met the Prime Minister were present only after testing negative.
Prime Minister Modi emphasised India's remarkable progress in infrastructure development, spanning railways, highways, ports, and airports, which he said has significantly boosted connectivity, economic growth, and the overall Ease of Living, thereby enhancing prosperity for citizens.
He reiterated that India's drive for next-generation infrastructure is rooted in sustainability and long-term planning, laying the foundation for a self-reliant India.
Responding to posts by MyGovIndia on X, Modi stated, "It's been #11YearsOfInfraRevolution, with outstanding infrastructure being added that has enhanced India's growth trajectory. From railways to highways, ports to airports, India's rapidly expanding infra network is boosting 'Ease of Living' and enhancing prosperity."
He further added, "India's push for next-gen infrastructure is powered by sustainability and long-term vision. It is laying the foundations of a self-reliant India! #11YearsOfInfraRevolution."
Later in the evening, the Prime Minister held a separate meeting with party MPs, MLAs, and office-bearers of the Delhi BJP unit.
"After 100 days of the formation of the BJP government in the national capital, the Prime Minister met the newly elected MLAs for the first time," a party leader said.
During the nearly three-hour-long meeting, the Prime Minister discussed the future of governance, reviewed the 100-day performance of the BJP government, and offered guidance on key policy decisions and future plans.
Offering advice on governance, Modi urged the lawmakers to fulfill people's aspirations and maintain strong public support to sustain the popularity of the ruling dispensation.
He also emphasized the need for organisational strengthening of the party by promoting good governance and fulfilling the principles of Jan Akanksha (people's aspirations), Antyodaya (upliftment of the last person in society), and ongoing initiatives like Sankalp Se Siddhi, as the NDA government completes 11 years at the Centre.
The Prime Minister's core message to the MPs and MLAs was to encourage regular Jan Samvad (public dialogue) and Jan Sunvai (public hearings) to foster deeper public engagement.
"Prime Minister Modi offered practical guidance to the newly elected MLAs and MPs, most of whom are first-timers, encouraging them to establish strong and consistent public connect," sources added.
