‘Golden Period Of Public Service': Amit Shah Hails 11 Years Of Governance Under PM Modi
Last Updated:
Narendra Modi first took oath as the Prime Minister of India on May 26, 2014, and is currently serving his third consecutive term.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday praised the last 11 years of governance under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, describing it as a 'golden period of resolve, endeavour and dedication towards public service."
'#11YearsOfSeva The country has seen a new era of economic revival, social justice, cultural pride and national security. The Modi government has proved that when the leadership is clear, the resolve is firm, and the intention is of public service, then new records of service, security and good governance are created," Shah wrote on X.
The Home Minister said that in 2014, when PM Modi took over the reins of the country, 'there was policy paralysis in the country. There were no policies, no leadership and scams were at their peak in the government. The economy was in shambles, and the governance system was directionless."
He said that in the last 11 years, the speed and scale of the country's development have been changed by 'Minimum Government, Maximum Governance'. 'PM Shri @narendramodi ji brought farmers, women, backwards, Dalits and deprived to the centre of governance and created a work culture of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas instead of appeasement."
Shah said that the 11 years of governance have also proved to be a milestone in the direction of national security. Naxalism is on its last legs, peace has been established in Jammu-Kashmir and the Northeast, and India now responds to terrorist attacks by entering the homes of terrorists. This shows the changing picture of India under the Modi government.
'In Modi 3.0, the new India is rapidly progressing towards development and self-reliance with the power of reform, perform and transform. This journey of making India number 1 in every field by bringing positive changes in the lives of the countrymen will continue like this," he added.
Narendra Modi first took oath as the Prime Minister of India on May 26, 2014, and is currently serving his third consecutive term.
'From ushering in an age of ease of living for the common citizen to enabling ease of doing business, India has rewritten the narrative of progress," he posted on X.
Highlighting the welfare schemes like Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Ayushman Bharat, and Ujjwala Yojana, Singh noted that these schemes have not only ensured dignity and health for millions but have truly empowered the poorest of the poor.
'Alongside, the massive expansion in physical infrastructure—from highways to railways, from smart cities to digital connectivity—and the strengthening of human resources in healthcare and education have laid the foundation for a new India," he added.

‘Infiltration, violence, obstructed Central schemes': Union Minister Bhupendra Yadav slams Bengal government ahead of 2026 Assembly elections
Union Minister Bhupendra Yadav, addressing a press conference in a Kolkata hotel, launched a scathing attack on the West Bengal government, accusing it of perpetuating 'unchecked infiltration, pervasive violence, and obstruction of Central welfare schemes'. With the 2026 Assembly elections in mind, Yadav said a 'befitting reply' would come from the people of Bengal in a BJP victory. The Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change was part of the press conference in Kolkata on the completion of 11 years of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Union government. He claimed that the Bengal government is responsible for 'helping infiltrators settle in the state' and 'opposing the Centre's steps to stop infiltration', while urging it to help Central forces identify and deport 'illegal' foreign nationals. 'The biggest impact of infiltration falls on the law and order of a state,' he said. Upon being asked about their strategies to tackle post-poll violence in the state, Yadav dismissed the idea that it was confined to the post-election period. 'It happens in Bengal throughout,' he stated, invoking incidents in Murshidabad and Sandeshkhali. 'The biggest sadness is violence has become part of Bengal,' he said, questioning the state's ability to function amidst 'community-based violence' fueled by 'appeasement' politics. 'It is sad that people under their own government are forced to flee their homes,' said Yadav. 'By talking about post-poll violence, we would restrict violence to two months, whereas on the ground, it is happening round the clock. People of Bengal are not ready to forgive this government. We are fighting post-poll violence democratically.' Yadav also criticised the state government's 'resistance' to Central schemes, claiming it opposed the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, Ayushman Bharat Yojana and the Pradhan Mantri Vishwakarma Yojana. He said, 'A large section of OBC workers are here; what is her scientific logic behind including and excluding people?' 'The Sandeshkhali and Murshidabad incidents are the poster of Mamata Banerjee's bad governance… while the Centre has proved that India will not tolerate terrorism…I don't take it in a good way that they are talking ill of Operation Sindoor. On Operation Sindoor, all political parties have been a representative of an international delegation,' Yadav said. Yadav alleged that 'not a single month passes without reports of attacks on women' in Bengal, claiming that the state did not take action during the violence in Murshidabad, which broke out on April 8. 'Instead, the responsibility of maintaining peace and security in the state was left to the Centre,' he claimed. Regarding the deployment of forces during the elections, he stated, 'The Election Commission is discussing it with all political parties and it will decide on the deployment of the forces.' Meanwhile, on the subject of climate action, Yadav highlighted Central initiatives. 'There is a beautiful name of a plan which is Project Mishti' he said, also mentioning 'Mission Life,' which focuses on seven key areas: saving water, saving food, saving energy, solid waste management, e-waste disposal, and a complete ban on single-use plastic. He stressed the importance of 'individual responsibility', stating, 'People must think about it.' Sweety Kumari reports from West Bengal for The Indian Express.

India calls for urgent global action to protect ocean, commits to early ratification of High Seas Treaty
Image used for representative image NEW DELHI: India on Tuesday called for urgent global action on ocean health at the 3rd UN Ocean Conference in Nice, France, with Union minister of earth sciences Jitendra Singh urging the international community to invest in innovation, ratify the 'High Seas Treaty', and finalise a legally binding agreement to end plastic pollution. 'The ocean is our shared heritage and responsibility,' said Singh, expressing India's readiness to work with all stakeholders - govts, the private sector, civil society, and indigenous communities - to ensure a sustainable ocean future. He was delivering the country's statement at the conference. One of the core objectives of the five-day conference, which is co-hosted by France and Costa Rica, is to help bring into force the landmark 'High Seas Treaty' - Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ) Agreement - adopted in 2023 to safeguard life in international waters through long-term protection of marine biodiversity in the high seas. Once ratified by 60 countries, it will become law of the sea on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction. Fifty members (49 countries and the EU) have already submitted their ratifications, while 15 others, including India, committed to doing it soon, paving the way for its coming into force in the next four months. Singh, while addressing the conference, also highlighted the multiple measures being taken by India in sync with its commitment to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14: Life Below Water, and outlined how the country's initiatives are aimed at reversing ocean degradation through science, innovation, and inclusive partnerships. He shared the progress made on India's Deep Ocean Mission and its 'Samudrayaan' project, which is expected to deploy the country's first manned submersible by 2026. The project aims to explore ocean depths up to 6,000 meters and is seen as a major leap in India's scientific capability. A nationwide ban on single-use plastic items of high littering potential, implementation of over $80 billion worth of 'Blue Economy' projects, supporting a legally binding global plastics treaty, and the launch of the 'SAHAV' digital ocean data portal are some of the initiatives which found prominence in the minister's speech at the global forum. The SAHAV portal - a GIS-based decision support system - works as a tool to empower policymakers, researchers, and communities with real-time spatial data, enabling smarter planning and stronger marine resilience. Singh also spoke of expanding India's marine protected areas, which now cover 6.6% of the Exclusive Economic Zone, contributing to global biodiversity goals. He underlined that India has integrated ocean-based climate actions into its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement.

Op Sindoor: PM meets multi-party delegations, says proud of their work
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday met with members of various multi-party delegations at his official residence, 7 Lok Kalyan Marg, to commend them for their efforts in representing India's anti-terrorism stance globally. 'Met members of the various delegations who represented India in different countries and elaborated on India's commitment to peace and the need to eradicate the menace of terrorism. We are all proud of the manner in which they put forward India's voice,' PM Modi said in a post on X. Met members of the various delegations who represented India in different countries and elaborated on India's commitment to peace and the need to eradicate the menace of terrorism. We are all proud of the manner in which they put forward India's voice. — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) June 10, 2025 The delegations, comprising Members of Parliament from across party lines, former MPs, and seasoned diplomats, were tasked with articulating India's position on terrorism and its dedication to world peace during their visits to foreign nations. Their missions followed Operation Sindoor, India's targeted counter-terrorism strike on camps in Pakistan after a terrorist attack in the Pahalgam Valley of Jammu and Kashmir that claimed 26 civilian lives. Who was involved? Four delegations were led by MPs from the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), including two from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), one from Janata Dal (United), and one from Shiv Sena. Three delegations were led by opposition MPs—one each from the Indian National Congress, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), and the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar faction). EAM Jaishankar praises outreach Earlier this month, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar met with the delegations and commended their role in amplifying India's strong message against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. 'It was a very good meeting, and we gave External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar our feedback. All members of the delegation provided their inputs and shared their views with him,' said Harsh V Shringla, former foreign secretary and delegation member. India's outreach through these bipartisan efforts marks a notable shift in foreign policy messaging—one that seeks to project national consensus on the issue of terrorism beyond domestic political divides.
