New Delhi, June 9 (UNI) Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday lauded the 11-year tenure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling it a period of "unprecedented development" and "epoch-making political, social, and economic transformations."
Highlighting India's growing self-reliance in the defence sector, Singh credited PM Modi's vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat for empowering the country to stand confidently among the world’s top five economies. “India today stands well-equipped, confident, and unwavering in its resolve to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity at all costs,” he said in a series of tweets on social media platform X.
Reflecting on the broader impact of the last decade, Singh stated, “These 11 Years of Seva have been a story of the realisation of the dreams of our freedom fighters and Constitution makers—who envisioned a democracy that is not just political, but also social and economic in nature.”
He emphasised that under PM Modi’s dynamic leadership, India is not merely progressing, but rising to claim its “rightful place in the comity of nations.” Singh also congratulated every citizen who has contributed to this transformative journey, stating, “Together, we move forward—stronger, prouder, and united.”
Enumerating the key achievements of the Modi government, the Defence Minister pointed to initiatives that have enhanced the ease of living for citizens and ease of doing business for entrepreneurs. From women empowerment to farmers' welfare, Singh said, the administration has worked with a “focused and committed effort to uplift and strengthen every section of society.”
He cited flagship welfare schemes such as Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Ayushman Bharat, and Ujjwala Yojana as historic initiatives that have ensured dignity, health, and empowerment for millions of the poorest of the poor.
“Alongside, the massive expansion in physical infrastructure—from highways to railways, from smart cities to digital connectivity—and the strengthening of human resources in healthcare and education have laid the foundation for a new India,” the Defence Minister said.
