Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji sets new ideals with his good governance to make governments accountable to society. In his last two terms, the country has seen how work starts in mission mode as soon as the government is formed. It is because of Modi Ji’s farsightedness that for the first time, the citizens of the country are witnessing both Bhoomi Pujan and the inauguration of projects in the same tenure. This was not possible earlier. Modi Ji creates his records, breaks them, and creates new records. We are witnessing this in his third consecutive term. Modi Ji has made the delivery ratio between the government and the beneficiary 100% with DBT, which earlier stood at 85/15 in the Congress regime. This is a great example of good governance and transparency. This can only be done by a person like Modi Ji who devoted his life for the people of this country.
During the elections, all the political parties were busy with the elections but Prime Minister Modi had given the task to the bureaucracy six months before the elections that all the development works that are in the pipeline should be completed before the new government formed so that the pace of development of the country is not hindered. The result of Modi ji’s thinking is that we have been successful in taking the development work worth thousands of crores a long way forward within 100 days of the formation of NDA government 3.0.
