Khandu hails 11 years of transformative governance under PM Modi's leadership
'For 11 years, it has been a journey dedicated to serving the poor and marginalised, empowering the last person in the queue with dignity, opportunity, and hope,' the chief minister said in a series of posts on X.
Reflecting on the Narendra Modi government's journey since 2014, Khandu described it as a saga of 'Seva, Samarpan, and Sankalp' (service, dedication, and resolve) to build a 'viksit Bharat' (developed India).
Itanagar, Jun 9 (PTI) As the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre marks one year of its third consecutive term, Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Monday lauded its commitment to inclusive development and national transformation over the last 11 years.
He highlighted the government's focus on shifting the country from a welfare-driven model to one of self-reliance, where transformative policies have redefined the socio-economic landscape.
The 11 years of service, he said, exemplifies a vision rooted in justice and empowerment for all sections of society.
Underscoring the youth-centric policies of the Modi government, Khandu emphasised the efforts to nurture the 'Amrit Peedhi', the young generation of new India, through education, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
'From Start-Up India to Digital India, NEP to PM Vishwakarma, every step is shaping a confident, self-reliant generation ready to lead the future,' he noted, reaffirming that the government's long-term investments are aimed at preparing the youth to become the drivers of India's growth story.
On the economic front, the chief minister praised the transformation of India into a hub of Ease of Doing Business, powered by resilient reforms and digital innovation.
He pointed to simplified compliance systems, the implementation of GST, and startup-friendly policies as evidence of a bold, forward-thinking economic strategy.
'#11YearsOfSeva has been about empowering enterprises, boosting investments, and unlocking India's economic potential,' he said in one of the posts.
Khandu also acknowledged the support extended to India's middle class under the Modi administration.
From lower income tax rates and interest subsidies for homebuyers to digital payments through UPI and improved urban mobility through smart cities and Vande Bharat trains, the chief minister said the reforms have touched everyday lives in meaningful ways.
'The honest taxpayer is finally being respected, supported, and heard,' he added.
The chief minister's reflections came as the nation observed the first anniversary of NDA 3.0, with party leaders across the country highlighting the milestones achieved under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. PTI UPL NN

‘We are politicians, not saints': Ajit Pawar defends decision to join NDA
Pune: chief on Tuesday justified his and colleagues' decision to rebel against uncle Sharad Pawar to join BJP-led National Democratic Alliance and said that he is not a saint to remain in the opposition and keep raising slogans against govt. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Addressing a rally orgainsed on the occasion of NCP's foundation day conclave at Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Balewadi, Pawar exhorted party workers to start preparations for the upcoming civic polls. "Some people raised questions about our decision to join , claiming that NCP was founded on secular ideology. However, the party already made a compromise in 2019 by joining hands with Shiv Sena to form govt. Then why are we being blamed? Sitting in opposition and raising slogans is not enough in politics. We are not saints but politicians, and in order to address public grievances, we joined govt," he said. The deputy chief minister, however, said that he has not abandoned the secular ideology. "Our party's base is the ideology of Shahu Maharaj, Jyotiba Phule, and Babasaheb Ambedkar. Our aim to be in NDA is to ensure development. Even Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar's parties became part of the alliance, though they follow secular ideology like NCP." Scotching the rumours of a possible merger with NCP (SP), he said, "Some party functionaries may have some opinion on the issue, but such decisions are made by the senior leadership." Last week, NCP state president Sunil Tatkare denied having any such proposal for discussion in the party's core group. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Against the backdrop of some NCP members being named in criminal cases, the deputy CM warned of action. "We are in govt, and therefore, we have a greater responsibility to follow discipline. If any of the party workers is found involved in any anti-social activity, they will not be spared." This was NCP's 26th foundation day, but after the split in 2023, both factions have been celebrating the day separately.
