In the anticipation of the Election Commission of India’s forthcoming announcement regarding the Lok Sabha Election schedule, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has penned a missive to the nation, reflecting on his tenure at the helm of the country’s affairs and advocating for the realization of ‘Viksit Bharat’ (or Developed India).
Within this letter, the Prime Minister delineates the initiatives undertaken by the BJP-led government under his leadership to enhance the standard of living for marginalized segments including the impoverished, agrarians, youth, and women. He succinctly outlines a catalogue of accomplishments achieved through his governance.
Enumerating significant milestones, he recalls the implementation of GST, the annulment of Article 370, the enactment of legislation pertaining to Triple Talaq, the Women’s Reservation Act, the construction of a new Parliament House, in addition to addressing the challenges posed by terrorism and Left-Wing Extremism.
Furthermore, he appeals for continual support from the populace, emphasizing the pivotal role of public engagement in democracy and the pursuit of Viksit Bharat.
What constitutes Viksit Bharat?
Viksit Bharat @ 2047 serves as a visionary document conceived by PM Modi. His official platform posits it as more than mere rhetoric, asserting its role as a comprehensive roadmap towards the nation’s prosperity. It proclaims, “This vision shall serve as a guiding beacon for India throughout its Amrit Kaal.”
The complete text of PM Modi’s missive reads as follows:
Dear Fellow Citizen,
Our alliance stands on the brink of a decade-long journey. The unwavering trust and backing of 1.4 billion Indians fuel my determination and zeal.
The metamorphosis witnessed in the lives of our people stands as the crowning achievement of our administration over the past decade. These transformative outcomes are a testament to the resolute endeavors of a dedicated government aimed at ameliorating the livelihoods of the underprivileged, farmers, youth, and women.
The fruition of endeavors such as the provision of concrete housing under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, universal access to electricity, water, and LPG, cost-free medical care through Ayushman Bharat, financial aid to farmers, support for women through the Matru Vandana Yojana, and numerous other initiatives have been made possible solely due to the faith vested in me by you.
Our nation strides forward, embracing both tradition and modernity hand in hand. While the bygone decade witnessed unprecedented strides in the construction of next-generation infrastructure, there has also been a renaissance of our rich national and cultural heritage. Presently, every citizen takes pride in the nation’s forward march, while simultaneously celebrating its diverse cultural tapestry.
It is a testament to your trust and backing that we have been able to undertake several historic and pivotal decisions such as the implementation of GST, the revocation of Article 370, the enactment of new laws addressing Triple Talaq, the Nari Shakti Vandan Act aimed at bolstering women’s participation in Parliament, the inauguration of a new Parliament edifice, and resolute measures against terrorism and Left-Wing Extremism.
The essence of democracy lies in Janbhagidari or public participation. It is your support that endows me with the fortitude to make bold decisions for the welfare of the nation, formulate ambitious plans, and execute them seamlessly.
I earnestly seek and eagerly anticipate your ideas, suggestions, and support as we endeavor to fulfill the commitment of erecting a Viksit Bharat. I am sanguine that together, we shall continue to propel our nation to greater heights.
With heartfelt wishes for your radiant future,
