NEW DELHI: Prime Minister
Narendra Modi
Monday marked the milestone of him completing 11 years in office, saying the NDA govt, in its three terms, had delivered significant changes, and promising to do more in the rest of his current tenure.
"We are proud of our collective success but at the same time, we look ahead with hope, confidence and a renewed resolve to build a Viksit Bharat," he posted on X.
Modi shared a series of hashtags and social media links, which - while focusing on his govt's initiatives - also represented a pitch for OBCs, tribals, Dalits and women.
A link shared by him noted that 60% of Union ministers were from the SC, ST and OBC categories, a message aimed at burnishing the social justice credentials of his govt amid attempts by opposition parties to paint it as working against their interests.
This is the highest representation of these groups in the Union Council of Ministers, it added. He also said that the NDA govt had redefined the concept of "women-led development".
Modi also asserted that under the 11 years of his govt, India had not just become the fastest-growing major economy, but was also a key global voice on pressing issues like climate action and digital innovation.
Home minister Amit Shah hailed Modi govt's 11 years as a "golden period" in public service, while defence minister Rajnath Singh asserted that India stood well-equipped and unwavering in its resolve to safeguard its territorial integrity, as Union ministers praised the PM's leadership.

Left, Dalit groups protest over police torture
Rajamahendravaram: CPI, CPM, CPI (ML) New Democracy, and various Dalit rights organisations organised a protest here on Monday, condemning the police assault on Dalit and minority youth in Tenali. The protest began with floral tributes at the statue of Dr BR Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution. Speaking at the protest, CPI leader Tatipaka Madhu and CPM leader T Arun recalled past instances of police brutality under the previous YSRCP government, including the cases of Dr Sudhakar and driver Subrahmanyam. They stated that such incidents were a key reason people voted out the YSRCP and elected the alliance government. However, they alleged that despite a change in government, Dalits still remain unprotected, citing the latest Tenali incident as proof. The leaders said that even if the three youths were found using ganja or involved in any wrongdoing, they should have been arrested and produced before the court in accordance with the law. 'Police have no authority to beat people in public. Such acts are unconstitutional and inhuman,' they said. They strongly criticised Home Minister Vangalapudi Anitha for not condemning the incident and instead defending the police action. 'It is outrageous that Dalit youth were stomped on with boots and beaten up on a road,' they said. Questioning Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's silence, the leaders said, 'He was quick to respond to remarks made against Amaravati women. Why is he silent now when Dalits are being brutally assaulted?' Dalit organisation leaders Korukonda Chiranjeevi, Jangam Subbarao, and S Vijay Kumar urged the alliance government to respect the Constitution and the rule of law. They reminded that the Supreme Court and human rights bodies have ruled against custodial torture. Chikatla Venkateswara Rao, district assistant secretary of New Democracy, demanded the immediate suspension of the Tenali CI and SI and called for a thorough investigation into the incident. Several prominent leaders, including CPI district assistant secretary K Rambabu, city secretary V Kondala Rao, assistant secretary Sappa Ramana, CPM district leaders B Pavan Poornima Raju, New Democracy leaders K Sattibabu and V Chittibabu, and CPI leaders P Lavanya, K Srinivas, and T Nageswara Rao, participated n this protest.

NEW DELHI: Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP president JP Nadda on Monday hailed the 11 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government, saying that the country is moving decisively towards becoming a secure, self-reliant and developed nation, an achievement that will be recorded in 'golden letters'. In a post on X, Shah, while highlighting the achievements of the Modi government, said that the era has marked a significant transformation in India's internal security and national confidence. '11 years of Seva has also proved to be a milestone for national security. Naxalism is on its last leg, peace has been established in Jammu and Kashmir and the Northeast, and India now responds to terrorism by entering terrorists' homes. This shows the changing picture of India under the Modi government,' he said. During the '11 years of seva', the speed and scale of the country's development have been changed by 'Minimum Government, Maximum Governance', he added. 'PM Shri @narendramodi ji brought farmers, women, backwards, Dalits and marginalised to the centre of governance and created a work culture of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas instead of appeasement,' he shared. He asserted that with the beginning of Modi 3.0, the nation is 'rapidly progressing towards development and self-reliance with the power of reform, performance and transformation.' Shah said that the vision for India becoming number one across all sectors remains steadfast and will continue to bring 'positive changes in the lives of the countrymen'. Meanwhile, Nadda, while praising the 11 years of the Modi government, called the period transformative, one that will be written in 'golden letters'.
