Today’s India is Led by Vision, Not Vote-Bank Politics- Saini
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh :
Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini, while addressing a press conference on the completion of 11 impactful years of the Modi Government, praised PM Narendra Modi's leadership for steering the nation from a time of indecision and inefficiency to an era of dynamic governance, national pride, and global recognition. He described the last 11 years as the most transformative phase of independent India, where each citizen has felt the presence of a decisive, sensitive, and effective government. Today’s India is led by Vision, Not Vote-Bank Politics, said Saini.
The Chief Minister said, while the previous Congress-led governments were often marked by hesitation, weak decision-making and misplaced priorities, PM gave India a clear vision, a strong direction, and an unwavering commitment to public welfare and nation-first governance.
Before 2014, the country was engulfed in an atmosphere of gloom and distrust. Corruption, and ineffective leadership had blocked our progress. Those days were ruled by fear, nepotism, regionalism, and corruption, there was a complete lack of fair governance. But under the Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi’s leadership, India witnessed a decisive and transparent administration, said Saini.
He said that guided by the principle of ‘Minimum Government–Maximum Governance,’ procedures were simplified and public participation was encouraged.
From Indecision to Global Impact- India Emerges as a World Leader
Saini said that when PM assumed office in 2014, our economy ranked 11th worldwide. He highlighted how under Prime Minister’s leadership India’s economy rose from the 11th to the 4th largest global economy. He said that India’s total exports reached $825 billion in 2024–25. Engineering exports grew from $73 billion in 2014–15 to $117 billion in 2024–25. Besides this, Defence exports have risen 34‑fold since 2014, reaching Rs. 23,622 crore in 2024–25, compared to just Rs. 1,521 crore before 2016. In the past 10 fiscal years, India attracted around US $668 billion in FDI, up from US $323 billion during 2000–2014, said the Chief Minister.
The Chief Minister said that the Prime Minister took strong measures like demonetization to crack down on black money and curb parallel economies. From Chandrayaan to exporting defence equipment, India is setting benchmarks. Under previous governments, such ambition was rarely seen. Today, we are at the frontlines of diplomacy, science, and technology, he said.
