Chandigarh \u2014 Marking twelve years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s tenure at the helm of the Union Government, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Thursday described the period as one of the most transformative chapters in independent India\u2019s history, asserting that the country has witnessed unprecedented progress in national security, economic growth, digital innovation, women\u2019s empowerment and global influence under Modi\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addressing a press conference at Panchkamal in Panchkula, Saini said the past twelve years have fundamentally altered India\u2019s position on the world stage and strengthened its internal foundations. He argued that the country has moved from being a participant in global affairs to becoming an increasingly influential voice in international decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chief Minister also launched a sharp political attack on the Congress, accusing the party of failing to build a strong and self-reliant India despite having governed the country for decades. He claimed that previous governments often relied on rhetoric, whereas the current administration has focused on delivering measurable outcomes across multiple sectors. Expressing confidence in Prime Minister Modi\u2019s continued popularity, Saini predicted that he would return as the country\u2019s \u201cPradhan Sevak\u201d for a fourth term in 2029.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The press conference was attended by Haryana Agriculture Minister Shyam Singh Rana, BJP state president Dr. Archana Gupta, MLA Shakti Rani Sharma, Panchkula Mayor Shyam Lal Bansal, BJP vice-president Banto Kataria and several senior party leaders and government officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reflecting on the broader political significance of Modi\u2019s tenure, Saini said India has undergone visible transformation both in rural and urban areas. According to him, improved infrastructure, expanded welfare programmes and accelerated economic growth have changed the lives of millions while creating a stronger foundation for long-term development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He argued that Prime Minister Modi\u2019s tenure would be remembered not only for domestic reforms but also for reshaping India\u2019s international identity. Under his leadership, Saini said, India\u2019s voice has gained greater weight at major global forums including the G20, BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the United Nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Highlighting national security initiatives, the Chief Minister said several decisions taken during the past decade have strengthened the country\u2019s strategic position. He referred to the abrogation of Article 370 and Article 35A in Jammu and Kashmir as a landmark move aimed at reinforcing national integration. He also cited military operations and counter-terror initiatives as evidence of what he described as a more assertive approach towards protecting national interests and internal security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saini said India\u2019s security architecture has become significantly stronger through decisive action against terrorism and insurgency. According to him, efforts to reduce Left-Wing Extremism and strengthen law enforcement have contributed to greater stability across several regions of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turning to economic issues, the Chief Minister described India\u2019s economic rise as one of the most remarkable achievements of the past decade. He noted that despite challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical conflicts, supply chain disruptions and global economic uncertainty, India has remained among the fastest-growing major economies in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He pointed to the expansion of entrepreneurship, financial inclusion and support for small businesses as key drivers of economic growth. Schemes such as PM SVANidhi and the Mudra Yojana, he said, have enabled millions of small traders, street vendors and entrepreneurs to access formal credit and strengthen their livelihoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Particular emphasis was placed on India\u2019s digital transformation. Saini described the digital revolution as one of the defining features of the Modi era, highlighting the rapid growth of digital payments, direct benefit transfers and technology-driven governance systems. He argued that these reforms have improved transparency, reduced leakages and enabled welfare benefits to reach citizens directly without intermediaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chief Minister also credited flagship initiatives such as Startup India, Skill India, Digital India and Make in India with creating new opportunities for young people. He said India has emerged as one of the world\u2019s largest startup ecosystems, with innovation and entrepreneurship increasingly originating from smaller towns and rural regions rather than being confined to major metropolitan centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On scientific and technological achievements, Saini cited India\u2019s successful Chandrayaan-3 mission, progress in the Aditya-L1 solar mission and preparations for the Gaganyaan human spaceflight programme as evidence of growing national confidence in research and advanced technology. These achievements, he said, have demonstrated India’s capability to compete with leading global powers in cutting-edge scientific fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chief Minister further highlighted progress in sports, education and skill development. According to him, investments in sports infrastructure and athlete training programmes have contributed to India\u2019s improved performances in international competitions, including the record medal haul at the Asian Games. Initiatives such as Khelo India and the Target Olympic Podium Scheme have created pathways for talented athletes to compete at the highest levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Education and workforce development, he argued, have also received unprecedented attention. Through vocational training initiatives and skill development programmes, millions of young people have been equipped with industry-relevant skills, while expanded educational infrastructure has created greater access to higher learning opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Healthcare emerged as another major area of focus during the Chief Minister\u2019s address. He pointed to the expansion of medical education, including a significant increase in the number of medical colleges and seats available for undergraduate and postgraduate studies. These measures, he said, are helping address long-term healthcare workforce requirements while improving access to medical education across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Women\u2019s empowerment, according to Saini, has been placed at the centre of the development agenda over the past twelve years. He described the passage of the Nari Shakti Vandan Act, which provides for greater representation of women in legislatures, as a historic milestone. Alongside political representation, he highlighted programmes focused on financial inclusion, entrepreneurship, maternal health and self-help group development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chief Minister noted that millions of women have benefited from schemes designed to improve economic independence and social mobility. Initiatives encouraging entrepreneurship and skill development have enabled greater participation of women in the formal economy, while welfare programmes targeting maternal and child health have expanded support for vulnerable families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saini also emphasised the growing presence of women in sectors traditionally dominated by men, including the armed forces, defence institutions and entrepreneurship. He said these developments reflect a broader social transformation that is creating new opportunities for women across India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Concluding his remarks, the Haryana Chief Minister described the past twelve years as a period in which several goals once considered unattainable had been transformed into reality. From strengthening national security and accelerating economic growth to expanding social welfare and enhancing India’s international standing, he argued that the country has entered a new phase of confidence and ambition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As India moves towards its long-term goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047, Saini said the achievements of the past decade provide a strong foundation for the next stage of national progress. According to him, the journey ahead will be driven by innovation, inclusive development and a vision of India as a leading global power in the twenty-first century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
