JAMMU: Senior BJP leader Devender Singh Rana declared today that the country has decided to support Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his unwavering and committed pursuit of inclusive growth for India, which has undergone an amazing and unprecedented metamorphosis over the previous nine years. "The Prime Minister's concept of Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas Sabka Vishwas Sabka Prayas has inspired the nation and encouraged everyone to secure Viksit Bharat by 2047," Rana stated this afternoon during a meeting with party colleagues from the Nagrota Assembly constituency's Dansal, Mathwar, Amb-Ghrota, and Nagrota blocks.He stated that programmes like "Make in India," "Start-up," "Swachh Bharat Abhiyan," and "Ayushman Bharat," which seek to improve every segment of society and close the gaps that have remained for 60 years after independence, demonstrate the Prime Minister's commitment to inclusive growth. He said that the goal of the past nine years has been to guarantee equitable and inclusive economic development for all segments of the nation's diverse society, free from discrimination or appeasement. The people of Jammu and Kashmir, who are now actively participating in India's progress, have been the main beneficiaries of this mission. According to Rana, the significant change occurred with the repeal of Article 370, which made all the difference in August 2019 by removing barriers to the implementation of several government projects and welfare schemes and putting an end to the denial and deprivation of marginalised groups for seventy years. He declared that ground-breaking projects are gathering steam and will be advanced during Prime Minister Modi's third term. "Prime Minister Modi believes in carving out a nation where prosperity knows no socio-economic boundaries by empowering the poor, the youth, and women, promoting skill development, fostering innovation, and encouraging investment," Rana said, adding that the BJP's unwavering commitment to creating a stronger and Viksit Bharat calls for collective support.He expressed hope that the people of India, regardless of their religion, caste, or geographic location, would once again rise to the occasion and guide the country towards its objective by helping to realise a prosperous and vibrant India.
