Humongous tasks have been fulfilled under PM Modi's leadership to put the country on the path of "long-term growth", Union I&B minister Ashwani Vaishnaw said at an event to mark the Modi govt's 11 years. He made a presentation on the Modi government's 'seva, sushashan and gareeb kalyan'.
BJP chief J P Nadda, Union ministers Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari & Nirmala Sitharaman were among those present at the event.
In its presentation, BJP said India became a global powerhouse under Modi, with per capita GDP increasing from Rs 86,647 in FY 2014 to Rs 2 lakh in FY 2025 due to structural economic reforms.
'Start Up India' scheme provided small loans to empower grassroots entrepreneurs to shift from "survival to growth" and make a "big impact", it said. RBI's financial inclusion index surged from 43 in 2017 to 64 in 2024 with the implementation of the 'PM Jan Dhan Yojna' and other measures.

Mumbai To Ahmedabad In 2 Hours: Indias First Bullet Train To Start Soon; Check Expected Speed
India's First Bullet Train: Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Sunday announced that India's first bullet train between Mumbai and Ahmedabad will begin operations very soon, reducing travel time between the two cities to just 2 hours and 7 minutes. He was speaking to reporters at the Bhavnagar terminus in Gujarat after virtually flagging off three trains, namely the Ayodhya Express, Rewa Pune Express, and Jabalpur Raipur Express. He further stated that the bullet train project is progressing rapidly. 508-Kilometre Rail Corridor The 508-kilometre high-speed rail corridor will connect Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) with key cities in Gujarat, including Vapi, Surat, Vadodara, and Ahmedabad. The trains are expected to run at speeds of up to 320 km/h. Vaishnaw also outlined several upcoming railway projects in Gujarat, including a new Porbandar–Rajkot train, a Rs 135-crore coach maintenance facility at Ranavav station, a railway flyover in Porbandar, two Gati Shakti cargo terminals, and a container terminal at a developing port in Bhavnagar. He highlighted the nation's progress, saying that during the last 11 years, 34,000 km of new railway tracks have been installed under the PM Narendra Modi administration, averaging almost 12 km per day. He described the 1,300 railway stations undergoing renovation as an unprecedented endeavour in the history of Indian Railways. PM Modi's Vision Ashwini Vaishnaw pointed out that India is implementing this change while maintaining train operations and keeping stations operational, which reflects the scope of PM Modi's vision, in contrast to developed nations, where station redevelopment entails completely stopping services. Adding further, he cited the introduction of contemporary trains such as the Vande Bharat Express, the Amrit Bharat Express, and the Namo Bharat Express. Eight Amrit Bharat trains with high-class amenities and reasonably priced tickets have been introduced thus far. According to the minister, passengers have responded favorably to these new trains, which were constructed using cutting-edge technology. With the help of double-engine governments in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, significant railway projects are also progressing in those states, in addition to Gujarat, the minister highlighted.

Jitendra Awhad sparks row, says 'Sanatan Dharma ruined India'; BJP MP Medha Kulkarni, Shiv Sena's Shaina NC hit back
Maharashtra: Following NCP-SCP MLA Jitendra Awhad's 'Sanatan Dharma has ruined India,' comment, several political leaders including BJP MP Medha Kulkarni, Shiv Sena's Shaina NC, among others have hit back. 'It has become a trend for the Opposition to criticise Sanatan Dharma... His saying that Sanatan Dharma is a perverted ideology distinct from Hindu Dharma shows you his lack of education, and he is responsible for caste oppression and social exclusion by making such preposterous comments,' Shaina NC told reporters. Jitendra Awhad, on Sunday, made explosive statements claiming that 'there was never any religion called Sanatan Dharma,' and this 'so‑called Sanatan Dharma denied Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj his coronation.' 'The followers of this Sanatan Dharma tried to assassinate Jyotirao Phule. They threw cow dung and filth at Savitribai Phule. This very Sanatan Dharma conspired to kill Shahu Maharaj. It did not even allow Dr BR Ambedkar to drink water or attend school. It was Babasaheb Ambedkar who finally rose against Sanatan Dharma, burned the Manusmriti, and rejected its oppressive traditions,' news wire ANI quoted the NCP-SCP MLA as saying. Apart from Shaina NC, Maharashtra Minister and Shiv Sena leader Shambhuraj Desai also hit back at Awhad's comments. 'What Jitendra Awhad said is not acceptable to me. Sanatan Dharma is a distinct ideology that advocates for harmony and tolerance... What he said is totally wrong,' said Desai. BJP leader Ram Kadam said that Jitendra Awhad's comments are based on the MLA's 'incomplete study of the scriptures.' 'The statement by the leader of Sharad Pawar's faction is based on an incomplete study of the scriptures... Are you defaming Sanatan Dharma?... Will you now do this for your politics?... It is unfortunate that he (Jitendra Awhad) is making such statements solely for the politics of appeasement,' said the BJP leader.
