Bharatiya Janata Party National President Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda addressed the Prabudh Jan Sammelan in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. During the event, BJP Madhya Pradesh President Shri Vishnu Dutt Sharma, Madhya Pradesh Cabinet Minister Shri Rakesh Singh, BJP Jabalpur candidate Shri Ashish Dubey and several other BJP leaders were present. Shri Nadda commenced his address by taking the blessings of Chausath Yogini Mata, Nandi Keshwar Mandir, and Rani Durgawati. Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda stated that they were resigned to a certain kind of politics, thinking nothing would change, and that things would just continue as they were. However, after Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s leadership for ten years, people now believe that change has come and more changes will be seen in the coming future.
Shri Nadda stated that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has brought a political change in the political culture. Earlier, common people would consider caste before voting, politics was influenced by casteism, followed by dynastic politics, and then appeasement politics. This was the old culture of politics. However, since Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power, dynasty politics has been removed, casteism has been eradicated, appeasement politics has been ended, and development-oriented politics has been promoted, ‘Vikas ki nayi ganga bahai hai’. And hence, the political culture of BJP involves the politics of development, accountability, report card, performance, and inclusiveness. However, for the opposition, the political culture differs greatly from that of the BJP. They perceive it as a politics of division, while the BJP speaks of inclusiveness and justice for all, and the opposition is seen as indulging in politics of appeasement. That’s why Bharatiya Janata Party speaks of ‘Sabka saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas aur Sabka Prayas’.
Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda highlighted Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s transformative impact on the country’s political landscape. He emphasized that during the unprecedented challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic when nations struggled to balance humanitarian concerns with economic priorities, Shri Narendra Modi’s decisive leadership stood out. While other countries grappled with the dilemma of imposing lockdowns, PM Shri Narendra Modi’s mantra of “Jaan hai to Jahan hai” guided India’s response, prioritizing both lives and livelihoods. After the nation had prepared, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi declared, “Jaan bhi hai aur Jahan bhi hai,” lifting the lockdown and steering the country towards development.
Shri Nadda emphasized that Tuberculosis medicine took 25-28 years to arrive in the country, tetanus medicine took 40 years, and the Japanese encephalitis vaccine took 100 years to become available in India. However, during COVID-19, Within 9 months, not only one but two vaccine doses were developed for the country to combat the virus. Moreover, 220 crore vaccine doses were manufactured, including booster shots, within a year to strengthen the country’s battle against the coronavirus. The opposition initially misled the country by labeling the vaccine as ‘Modi Teeka’, but they themselves took the vaccine secretly. Shri Nadda praised PM Shri Narendra Modi’s ‘Vaccine Maitri’ policy, which provided the COVID-19 vaccine to 100 countries, including free vaccines for 48 countries.
On the strengthening of the Indian economy under the BJP government, Shri Nadda said that following the COVID era and the Russia-Ukraine war, the entire world suffered an economic setback, but India under the guidance of PM Shri Narendra Modi, India entered the ‘bright spot’ of the economy, termed by IMF. The Morgan Stanley report highlights India’s progressive transformation since 2013, while Moody’s predicts a robust GDP growth of 8% by 2024. Shri Nadda noted international praise for India’s economic growth but criticized Congress for focusing on unemployment and inflation. Mockingly, he remarked that under PM Shri Narendra Modi, the Congress has become synonymous with “Berozgar.” Shri Nadda highlighted various countries’ inflation rates, noting that Russia’s is 6.3%, Turkey’s is 60%, Argentina’s is 93%, and Germany’s is 10%, contrasting them with India’s rate of 4.6%. He pointed out that under the UPA regime, India’s inflation rate never dropped below 10%. In terms of GDP growth, Shri Nadda compared India’s growth rate of 6.5% under PM Shri Narendra Modi with other countries.

Today, India stands out as the most progressive country in the world from the perspective of global cooperation.
