Haryana CM holds meeting in Gurugram, discusses programs to mark 11 years of Modi govt
According to an official statement, CM Saini at the meeting presented the achievements of the Modi government and appealed to everyone to convey it to every household. State President Mohan Lal Baroli, National Vice President Rekha Verma, National Secretary Om Prakash Dhankhar, Organization Minister Phanindranath Sharma along with state ministers, MLAs and MPs attended the meeting. Gurugram, Jun 1 (PTI) Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday held a meeting at the party office in Gururgam and discussed programmes to mark 11 years of the Narendra Modi government, an official said. BJP National Vice President Rekha Verma gave information about all the programs to be held in June. While addressing the workshop, the CM said that whatever Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in 2014, he completed it in the last 11 years. If we evaluate the period before and after BJP came to power, we will see a huge difference. India has progressed rapidly in these 11 years, he said. 'India's respect in the world has increased under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi. He has pledged to make India a developed country by 2047 and we all have to achieve this pledge together,' Saini said. 'In 11 years, the lives of people have become easier. Every district is connected with four-lane roads and the infrastructure of the country and the state has become stronger,' he said. Saini said that PM Modi had pledged to make India the fifth largest economy and brought the resolution to fruition and after becoming the fifth largest economy, the country has now become the fourth largest economy in the world. Soon India will be the third largest economy, he said. 'After independence, development did not happen at the pace that was expected, but in 11 years under the leadership of PM Modi, India is touching new heights of development,' the CM added. Meanwhile, targeting the opposition, Verma said that after the country gained independence, the governments of that time kept the country behind in matters of development. 'If Sardar Patel had been the Prime Minister of India instead of Jawaharlal Nehru, there would have been no problem with Article 370. The country has been transformed after the formation of the government under the leadership of PM Modi in 2014,' she added. BJP national secretary Om Prakash Dhankar said that now India is moving ahead by adopting a new normal under the leadership of PM Modi. He appealed to the workers to go door-to-door and make people realize the achievements of 11 years, he said. BJP State President Pandit Mohan Lal Baroli called upon the officials to make all the programs successful. PTI COR NB NB This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

Deendayal's ‘integral humanism' behind Modi govt's welfare measures: Nadda
The Narendra Modi government has empowered women, farmers and marginalised sections of society by taking various measures for them, while others only talked about doing so, BJP president and Union Minister J P Nadda said on Sunday. From putting the country on the path of economic progress to lifting 25 crore people above the poverty line, the government under PM Narendra Modi's leadership has launched varioius welfare schemes for all sections, drawing inspiration from Jana Sangh ideologue Deendayal Upadhyaya's idea of 'integral humanism', Nadda said. The BJP chief was addressing the valedictory session of a two-day conclave to commemorate 60 years of Upadhyaya's lectures on integral humanism. 'Our traditions were not created in two days; they are a result of experiences of thousands of years,' he said, stressing the need to expound Indian economic thought. Nadda said that India as a country of 140 crore people cannot be centralised. 'We have to be a decentralised system,' he said. 'World standards cannot be the standards we have to adhere to; we have to have our Indian standards,' he said. He said this might not have seemed possible in Upadhyaya's time, but under PM Modi's leadership every parameter was being prepared around Indian standards. He said Upadhyaya at that time advocated 'swadeshi' and India could say today that self-reliance is the order of the times. 'We were even purchasing idols of Ganesh ji from China. Today, we are third in the toy industry,' Nadda said. 'We are also third in the automobile market.' He said that India had made strides in defence production too. 'We witnessed the success of Operation Sindoor and that of the BrahMos (missiles) as well. Our defence production has reached `1.3 crore,' he said. Under PM Modi, India had established an economic model aligning 'integral humanism; with 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas', he said. Recalling Upadhyaya's message that the economy was not assessed from the person on the top of the ladder but the one at its bottom, Nadda said, 'We have taken inspiration from his Antyodaya concept (uplifting the poorest).' Nadda underlined that Upadhyaya was the inspiration for the free gas cylinder scheme — PM Ujjwala Yojana — for women. He said Swachh Bharat Mission and welfare schemes for farmers launched by the PM were also inspired by Upadhyaya. He said the government has provided cooking gas connections to more than 10 crore households, constructed 12 crore toilets and built four crore pukka houses. There is a need to understand how the government under Modi's leadership has empowered women, farmers and the marginalised sections of society, and brought them into the mainstream, he said.
