"Zero marks to Modi Government": Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah
Mysuru (Karnataka) [India], June 9 (ANI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday criticised the Narendra Modi-led government, saying it earned 'zero marks' even after completing 11 years in power, and accused the BJP of relying solely on media publicity for its image. While speaking to the mediapersons in Mysuru on the occasion of the Modi government's 11th anniversary, Siddaramaiah said, 'Modi has completed 11 years in power because of media publicity. Zero marks! (to Modi government)...' Siddaramaiah also recalled Prime Minister Modi's past stance as Gujarat Chief Minister and accused him of doing the opposite after becoming the Prime Minister. 'When he was Gujarat CM, he said that states should have 50% share in Central tax devolution, but what did he do when he became the PM?' Siddaramaiah asked, alleging that Karnataka faced unfair treatment from the Centre. He added, 'Injustice has been done to Karnataka. But when we ask the BJP, they say we are indulging in slandering.' Earlier in the day, as the Narendra Modi-led NDA government completed 11 years, BJP President and Union Minister JP Nadda on Monday said India has made significant progress in economic growth, social welfare, and global leadership under Prime Minister Modi's leadership. He highlighted achievements like India rising to the fifth-largest economy, success in rescue operations like Operation Ganga, effective COVID-19 management, and efforts to uplift women, SC, ST, and OBC communities. Addressing a press conference, JP Nadda said, 'In the last 11 years, we jumped to the fifth position from the 10th position in the world's economies. The new data from the IMF will bring us to the fourth position. We have been the fastest economy in the we talk about Operation Ganga, PM Modi proactively brought back the Indian citizens from Ukraine. Not only Indians but people from other countries also came out of Ukraine, showing their flags.' He said the Modi government showed strong and proactive leadership through major rescue and relief operations, including during COVID-19. He said India ran the world's largest and fastest vaccination drive, giving 220 crore free double-dose vaccines, and no other country responded to the pandemic like India did. Narendra Modi first took oath as the Prime Minister of India on May 26, 2014, and is currently serving his third consecutive term. Last year, he took oath as Prime Minister on June 9 after winning elections for the third term. Marking the occasion, the Union government also released a comprehensive e-book detailing achievements across various sectors over the past 11 years. The year 2025 marks 11 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. (ANI)

"Postponing problems has neither been policy nor practice of this govt": JP Nadda on 11 years of Modi government
New Delhi [India], June 9 (ANI): As the Narendra Modi-led NDA government completed 11 years, BJP President and Union Minister JP Nadda on Monday said India has made significant progress in economic growth, social welfare, and global leadership under Prime Minister Modi's leadership. He highlighted achievements like India rising to the fifth-largest economy, success in rescue operations like Operation Ganga, effective COVID-19 management, and efforts to uplift women, SC, ST, and OBC communities. Addressing a press conference, JP Nadda said, 'In the last 11 years, we jumped to the fifth position from the 10th position in the world's economies. The new data from the IMF will bring us to the fourth position.

He said the Modi government showed strong and proactive leadership through major rescue and relief operations, including during COVID-19. He said India ran the world's largest and fastest vaccination drive, giving 220 crore free double-dose vaccines, and no other country responded to the pandemic like India did. 'We've demonstrated proactive governance through various operations like Operation Devi Shakti, Operation Rahat, Operation Maitri, Operation Vaccine Maitri, and Operation Ganga. Our COVID-19 management was exemplary, with the world's largest and fastest vaccination way India responded to COVID-19, no other country could do it. In India, India gave 220 crores free double-dose of vaccines,' Nadda said. He said that the Modi government has worked for the welfare of SC, ST, and OBC communities, and has promoted women-led development. 'Over the past decade, we have worked with deep concern for all sections of society, including SC, ST, and OBC communities. At the same time, we have actively promoted the vision of Women-Led Development. From empowering Lakhpati Didis to promoting Self-Help Groups (SHGs), the Modi government has made dedicated efforts to bring women, as well as SC, ST, and OBC communities, into the mainstream of national development. We've increased maternity leave from 12 to 26 weeks with salary and promoted women-led development, with women excelling in various fields, including space exploration (Chandrayaan),' he said. He said the Modi government has focused on real work for the poor, not just slogans. He said 25 crore people have come out of poverty in the last 10 years, and extreme poverty in the country has dropped by 80 per cent. 'We have not come with the slogan of eradicating poverty, we have shown by doing welfare for the poor. When I talk about accountable government, we talk about gareeb kalyan.. The statistics are proof of this...25 crore people in the country have come out of the poverty line. In this way, extreme poverty has been reduced by 80 per cent,' he added He further talked about the recently inaugurated Chenab Bridge and said, '...In 1995, during the time of Narasimha Rao ji, the foundation stone of Chenab Bridge was laid, Atal ji declared it a 'project of national importance' and PM Modi completed this project and dedicated it to the nation on 6 June 2025. Postponing problems has neither been the policy nor the practice of this government. The government took care of all sections of the society and tried to improve their lives, and today we are ready to take a leap towards a developed India with full strength.' Narendra Modi first took oath as the Prime Minister of India on May 26, 2014, and is currently serving his third consecutive term. Last year, he took oath as Prime Minister on June 9 after winning elections for the third term. Marking the occasion, the Union government also released a comprehensive e-book detailing achievements across various sectors over the past 11 years.

PM Modi's achievements will be etched in golden letters: Nadda
New Delhi, June 9 (UNI) As the Narendra Modi-led NDA government marked the first anniversary of its third-term on Monday, BJP National President JP Nadda described the economic and social strides in India under the Prime Minister's leadership as achievements that will be remembered in 'golden letters". Speaking at a press conference at the BJP headquarters, Nadda said, 'The work done under Prime Minister Modi's leadership over the past 11 years has been exceptional and deserves to be inscribed in golden letters in the annals of history.' The BJP-led government also completed 11 years in office on Monday, having first come to power in 2014. Prime Minister Modi was sworn in for a third consecutive term on June 9, 2024. Calling the Modi Government "a people-led government", Nadda highlighted the transformation witnessed over the past decade. He said, 'India has undergone a remarkable transformation under PM Modi. He has reshaped the country's political ethos. Previously, politics was often centered on appeasement and power retention. Today, the Modi government stands as a people-driven administration.' Nadda emphasised that since 2014, the government has promoted transparency and established a forward-thinking, development-oriented governance model and asserted that the NDA is poised not only to complete this term but to return for another. He also hailed measures like India rising to the fifth largest country, effective management of Covid, Operation Ganga and upliftment of the women, scheduled caste and tribes among others. Reflecting on the political shift post-2014 in the country's landscape, Nadda attacked the Opposition party Congress saying, 'The Congress-led UPA government was plagued by corruption and negativity. But since PM Modi assumed office, we have moved from despair to hope. Today, the sentiment across the nation is: 'Modi hai toh mumkin hai.'' Nadda credited the Prime Minister for ushering in a performance-based political culture. 'Eleven years ago, politics was driven by division and appeasement to preserve power. With PM Modi, we've seen the emergence of a new political culture — one of accountability, transparency, and bold governance. A new normal has taken shape,' the BJP Chief said. He also pointed to decisions such as the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, the abolition of triple talaq, amendments to the Waqf Act, demonetisation, and the Women's Reservation Bill as examples of the Modi government's decisive and landmark leadership. 'These are not just policy changes — they represent a shift in the way governance is envisioned and implemented,' Nadda said. 'This is the hallmark of the Modi government — bold, visionary, and people-centric.' He also praised India's response to terrorism under the current leadership. 'After the Pulwama attack, PM Modi sent a strong message: 'You will have to pay for this mistake.' This led to the Balakot airstrikes. More recently in Madhubani, he said: 'You will be answered in a way that's beyond your imagination.' This strong posture has become the new normal in India's national security doctrine.' Responding to criticism from Rahul Gandhi regarding foreign policy and Operation Sindoor, Nadda remarked, 'May God give him wisdom. His intentions are unclear. He claims to support the nation in all-party meetings, yet criticises the government while abroad. Such inconsistency is the hallmark of an irresponsible opposition.' UNI AJ RN
