Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday hailed the commencement of the 18th general election process saying the ruling BJP was fully prepared for the polls. PM also floated #PhirEkBaarModiSarkar hashtag.
Seconds after the Election Commission of India announced the poll schedules, the PM said on X, ‘The biggest festival of democracy is here! EC has announced the 2024 Lok Sabha election dates. We, the BJP-NDA, are fully prepared for elections. We are going to the people on the basis of our track record of good governance and service delivery across sectors.”
PM also floated #PhirEkBaarModiSarkar hashtag. While attacking the oppositin INDIA bloc, PM Modi recounted the scams and policy paralysis issues during the previous regime. “Ten years ago, before we assumed office, the people of India were feeling betrayed and disillusioned thanks to INDI Alliance’s pathetic governance. No sector was left untouched by scams and policy paralysis. The world had given up on India. From there, it’s been a glorious turnaround,” the Prime Minister added.
PM Modi emphasized that the welfare schemes started by his government reached all parts of India and our country is creating records in developmental goals. “The people of India are witnessing what a determined, focused, and result-oriented government can do. And, they want more of it. That is why from every corner of India, cutting across all sections of society, the people are saying in one voice- Ab Ki Baar, 400 Paar!,” PM Modi said.
In a jibe at Opposition Parties, PM Modi said that all they can do is abuse and vote-bank politics. “Our Opposition is rudderless and issueless. All they can do is abuse us and practice vote bank politics. Their dynastic approach and attempts to divide society are not being accepted. Equally hurting them is their corruption track record. People don’t want such leadership,” he said.
“In our third term, there’s much work to be done. The last decade was about filling gaps created by those who ruled for seventy years. It was also about instilling a spirit of self-confidence that yes, India can become prosperous and self-reliant. We will build on this spirit,” PM Modi added.
PM Modi said that during his third term, the fight against poverty and corruption will go on at an even faster pace and the new government will strongly emphasize social justice. He added that they are going to work towards making India the third-largest global economy and fulfill the dreams of the Indian youth.
