Shiv Sena President & Chief Minister of Maharashtra Shri Eknath Shinde proposed the resolution in the meeting. AIADMK’s Shri K. Palanisamy and Asom Gana Parishad leader Shri Atul Bora supported the resolution. In the meeting, all constituents of NDA resolved that NDA will unitedly contest the Lok Sabha elections under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and for the third consecutive time, Shri Narendra Modi will become the Prime Minister of the country with a huge majority.
Over the last 9 years, under the leadership of Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) Government has realised the vision of Sewa, Sushasan and Gareeb Kalyaan (Service, Good Governance and Welfare of Poor) in the true sense. The country has scaled newer heights of development under the NDA Government. This journey of good governance and development has seen the participation of all sections, regions and communities. NDA in its very form is a leading representative of ‘One India. United India’. All constituents of the NDA congratulate Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for his visionary and popular leadership that has taken India successfully ahead in Her developmental journey.
The NDA coalition has completed 25 years of existence. In these 25 years, the NDA has established inspiring records in good governance. Whenever the NDA has been in power, the coalition has worked with the spirit of ‘Nation First’ towards public welfare. Whether it was Atal ji’s government from 1998 to 2004, or it is the government under Honourable Shri Narendra Modi since 2014, the NDA Government has always worked for nation-building while respecting regional aspirations.
Strengthening national security, establishing good governance, development of basic infrastructure, improvement in the living standards of the poor and marginalised, and raising India’s stature on the global stage have been among the priority areas of the NDA Government. In the past nine years especially, the work done for the welfare of the poor and development of all has been unprecedented.
By forsaking personal interest and dedicating themselves to public welfare, the NDA constituents have presented an exemplary model of politics before the country. The ‘India First’ spirit has always been central to the thoughts, ideologies and foundational principles of NDA. The journey that started in 1998 for nation-building and public welfare is moving ahead in the same form and structure, invigorated by the same spirit.
All NDA constituents resolve their unshakable trust in the victory of the coalition in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections under the leadership of Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. NDA appreciates the commitment displayed by the Modi Government towards Sewa, Sushasan and Gareeb Kalyaan and lauds the significant development made across all sectors of governance.
The commitment to Gareeb Kalyan
The NDA Government’s welfare schemes, which have realised Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘Gareeb Kalyan’ outlined in 2014, have brought about a positive change in the lives of scores of country’s poor people. According to credible international reports also, there has been a sharp reduction in poverty in India. From bank accounts under Jan Dhan Yojana, to smokeless kitchen through PM Ujjwala Yojana; from toilets under Swachh Bharat Mission to potable water in taps under Har Ghar Jal Mission; from extending economic support to small farmers via PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, to providing houses with basic amenities to crores of Indian families under PM Awas Yojana, to ensuring jobs and self-employment opportunities for the youth by extending economic support to Small and Medium Enterprises, an array of pro-people schemes have been implemented with success under the NDA government. These schemes have helped transform the lives of the poor. All NDA constituents heartily congratulate Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for realising the vision of Gareeb Kalyan with success.
All-inclusive government
Over the last nine years, the NDA Government has worked with the spirit of inclusiveness under the leadership of Shri Narendra Modi. NDA’s Modi Government is forever committed to social and economic upliftment of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Communities, women and Economically Weaker Sections of the society. The task of developing five places associated with the life and work of Dr BR Ambedkar, the national hero who raised his voice for the marginalised sections of the society, as Panchteerth, has also been undertaken and completed under the leadership of Shri Narendra Modi. The Panchteerth stand to inspire the society to achieve equality and harmony.
The number of steps that have been undertaken for the Scheduled Castes and Tribes over the last nine years had never been undertaken in the past. There has been a consistent increase in the Union Budget year after year for the social, educational and economic empowerment of the Scheduled Castes and Tribes. Even in the welfare schemes of the Modi Government, Dalits and Adivasis have been given preference.
To ensure the economic empowerment of Dalit communities and their participation in self-employment, the Modi government is extending easy loans under schemes such as StandUp India and Mudra Yojana. As a result of these policies, people from SC-ST communities are taking the lead in areas of education, business, jobs, services and social sectors.
In 2017, the NDA made Honourable Shri Ramnath Kovind, who hails from the Dailt community, its Presidential candidate. He went on to grace the chair of the President of India. In 2022, when the Presidential elections were announced, the NDA forwarded the name of Honourable Smt. Droupadi Murmu and she became the President of India. These aspects make it amply clear that under the leadership of PM Shri Narendra Modi, the NDA is fully committed to the all-round development of Scheduled Castes and Tribes.
To empower the socially and educationally backward communities, the Modi government granted Constitutional status to the National Commission for Backward Classes, a demand that had been pending for decades. Due to the policy decisions of the Modi government, opportunities for students hailing from backward communities in the field of medical science have risen. The efforts of the Modi Government towards ensuring the participation of the OBC community in education and employment are praise-worthy.
The NDA Government took many women-centric initiatives to empower India’s ‘Nari Shakti’. With several steps like registering homes under housing schemes in the name of women, distributing property cards to women, strengthening women Self-Help Groups, ensuring loans easily for women entrepreneurs, doors for the nation’s Nari Shakti in politics, employment and self-employment, services, and defence forces have opened up. As a result of these initiatives, the presence of women power is being increasingly seen in all fields.
The NDA Government led by Shri Narendra Modi has realised this vision of social justice through its policies and decisions. Today, all sections of the society are being represented in politics, government and other fields and for this the commitment shown by Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is worthy of high praise. The NDA appreciates and lauds this aspect.
Rising economic prowess on the global stage
Under the leadership of Shri Narendra Modi, India is fast moving towards being a US $5 trillion economy apart from emerging as a new power centre of the global economy.

As a result of this, in many sectors, including defence, the India of Amrit Kaal is emerging as a country with lower reliance on imports and fast strengthening exports sector.

Popular leadership – unshakable trust
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, India’s stature on the global stage has strengthened. As the world’s most popular leader, Shri Narendra Modi enjoys the unwavering trust of millions of Indians. The trust of 140 crore Indians on Shri Modi’s visionary leadership is the reason for India’s growing stature on the global stage. It is a matter of pride for the entire country, including us, that 14 countries have conferred their highest honour upon Shri Narendra Modi ji. These 14 countries include France and several Gulf nations.

The commitment to trust in victory
The blessings that NDA received from the people in the 2014 elections under the leadership of Shri Narendra Modi, grew manifold in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Rejecting and rubbishing the lies, rumours and baseless allegations of the opposition parties, the country is reposing faith in the leadership of the NDA coalition. The opposition is faced with a crisis of identity and relevance. Today, the opposition is confused and disoriented.
All parties part of the National Democratic Alliance repose full faith in the leadership of Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi to attain a bigger mandate in 2024 than that won in 2019.
