12 years of Modi government are golden years that laid a strong foundation for a developed India: Nadda
Shimla, June 12, 2026
Addressing an intellectuals’ conference in Shimla as part of the “12 years of trust, development, and public welfare” campaign organized by the Bharatiya Janata Party, Union Minister of Health, Family Welfare, Chemicals and Fertilizers and former BJP National President Jagat Prakash Nadda said that the 12 years of the central government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be written in golden letters in the history of India. He said that these 12 years are not just the tenure of one government, but are transformative years that will lay a strong foundation for a developed India.
Jagat Prakash Nadda said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set a new record by serving as the nation’s Prime Servant for 4,399 consecutive days. This achievement is not just the work of one person but a symbol of the trust, support, and hopes of the nation’s 1.4 billion people. He said that when the country completed 75 years of independence, Prime Minister Modi invoked the Amritkaal and pledged to achieve a developed India by 2047, and in the last 12 years, a strong foundation for that pledge has been laid.
He said that before 2014, the country’s politics revolved around casteism, nepotism, appeasement, and corruption. The common citizen had accepted that governments change but the system does not. The public had come to terms with their circumstances. Prime Minister Modi changed this mindset and transformed politics into a medium of service, good governance, and accountability. Today, the common citizen has the courage to speak out against corruption because he or she is confident that the government will listen.
Nadda said that Prime Minister Modi gave the country the mantra of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas.” Previously, governments were formed with everyone’s votes but were limited to a single family, caste, or region. Today, the Modi government is functioning as a government of 1.4 billion Indians.
He said that Prime Minister Modi fulfilled the resolutions for which the Bharatiya Janata Party and its millions of workers struggled for decades. The removal of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, the construction of the grand Shri Ram Temple in Ayodhya, the liberation of Muslim women from the evil practice of triple talaq, and the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act are historic decisions that previous governments postponed solely for political reasons.
Nadda said that the Modi government has received the people’s blessings for the third consecutive term. The BJP has emerged as the country’s largest party in all three Lok Sabha elections held since 2014. The BJP and NDA have won 43 of the 75 major elections held in recent years. Today, 78 percent of the country’s citizens live in BJP and NDA-ruled states. This is a testament to the public’s trust in Prime Minister Modi’s leadership and the BJP’s public-friendly policies.
He said that the last 12 years have seen an unprecedented revolution in the country’s infrastructure. Railway electrification has increased by 200 percent, and Himachal Pradesh has achieved 100 percent railway electrification. National highways, tunnels, four-lane projects, and modern transportation networks have transformed the country. He said that today, world-class roads and infrastructure are being developed in India.
Referring to the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, he said that more than 430,000 kilometers of rural roads have been built across the country, while Himachal Pradesh has developed a rural road network of more than 14,400 kilometers. This has been a major success in connecting villages to the mainstream of development.
He said that through the Ujjwala Yojana, millions of women have been freed from smoke. Nearly 150,000 families in Himachal Pradesh have been provided gas connections. Through the Jal Jeevan Mission, tap water has been provided to millions of homes across the country, and 100% of households in Himachal Pradesh have been connected to drinking water.
Nadda said that under the Swachh Bharat Mission, more than 120 million toilets have been constructed across the country. Nearly two lakh toilets have been built in Himachal Pradesh. This campaign is not just about construction, but about protecting the honor and dignity of women.
He said that through the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, tens of millions of poor families have been provided with permanent homes. In Himachal Pradesh, more than one lakh families have also benefited from this scheme.
Referring to the historic expansion in the health sector, Nadda said that in 2014, there were approximately 376 medical colleges in the country, which has now increased to more than 820. In Himachal Pradesh, medical colleges have been established in Chamba, Hamirpur, and Nahan, while the establishment of AIIMS in Bilaspur has proved to be a milestone for the state’s health sector.
He said that today India is rapidly moving towards self-reliance in the defense sector. Defense exports have increased by 5700 percent, and India is now exporting defense equipment to many countries around the world. The BrahMos missile, indigenous defense equipment, and modern military technology are evidence of India’s growing strength.
Attacking terrorism and Naxalism, he said that Prime Minister Modi has adopted a policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism. India has now become a nation that takes decisive action against terrorism. Development, expansion of roads, education, and health facilities in Naxal-affected areas have led to historic improvements in the situation.
He said that the success of Chandrayaan-3, preparations for Gaganyaan mission, mobile manufacturing, semiconductor production, Digital India, Vande Bharat trains, modern airports and optical fibre network are the hallmarks of India’s new confidence.
Nadda said that today’s India is confident, strong, and a leader on the world stage. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is moving toward a new era, and every BJP worker is working with complete dedication and devotion to realize the resolve for a developed India.

Shimla, June 12, 2026
Addressing the Intellectuals’ Conference organized in Shimla under the Bharatiya Janata Party’s campaign “12 Years of Trust, Development and Public Welfare,” Union Minister for Health & Family Welfare, Chemicals & Fertilizers and former BJP National President Jagat Prakash Nadda said that the twelve years of the Narendra Modi-led government will be remembered as a golden chapter in India’s history. He stated that these twelve years have not merely been a government’s tenure but a transformational period that has laid the strong foundation of a developed India.
Nadda said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has completed 4,399 days as the nation’s “Pradhan Sevak” (Chief Servant), setting a remarkable milestone. This achievement, he said, reflects the trust, support and aspirations of 1.4 billion Indians. He added that when India celebrated 75 years of Independence, Prime Minister Modi gave the vision of Amrit Kaal and the resolve to build a Viksit Bharat (Developed India) by 2047. The groundwork for achieving that vision has been firmly established over the last twelve years.
He said that before 2014, Indian politics revolved around casteism, dynastic politics, appeasement and corruption. Citizens had accepted that governments would change, but governance would remain the same. Prime Minister Modi changed this mindset by making politics a medium of service, accountability and good governance. Today, ordinary citizens confidently raise their voice against corruption because they trust that the government will listen to them.
Nadda said that Prime Minister Modi introduced the mantra of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas” (Together with All, Development for All, Trust of All and Efforts by All). Earlier, governments were elected with the support of all but often remained confined to a particular family, region or vote bank. Today, the Modi government works for all 1.4 billion Indians.
He stated that Prime Minister Modi fulfilled several long-standing national aspirations for which BJP workers had struggled for decades. The abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu & Kashmir, the construction of the grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya, the abolition of Triple Talaq and the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) are historic decisions that previous governments avoided for political reasons.
Nadda said that the Modi government has received the people’s mandate for a third consecutive term. In all three Lok Sabha elections since 2014, the BJP emerged as the largest political party. Out of 75 major elections held during this period, the BJP and NDA secured victory in 43. Today, nearly 78 percent of India’s population lives in states governed by the BJP or NDA, reflecting the people’s confidence in Prime Minister Modi’s leadership and the government’s welfare-oriented policies.
Highlighting achievements in infrastructure, Nadda said that India has witnessed an unprecedented transformation over the last twelve years. Railway electrification has increased by over 200 percent, and Himachal Pradesh has achieved 100 percent railway electrification. National highways, tunnels, four-lane projects and modern transportation networks have dramatically changed the country’s landscape.
Referring to the Prime Minister Gram Sadak Yojana, he said that more than 430,000 kilometers of rural roads have been constructed across the country, including over 14,400 kilometers in Himachal Pradesh. This has significantly improved connectivity and integrated rural areas into the mainstream of development.
Nadda said that the Ujjwala Yojana has freed millions of women from smoke-filled kitchens, with nearly 1.5 lakh families in Himachal Pradesh benefiting from LPG connections. Under the Jal Jeevan Mission, tap water connections have reached millions of households across the country, while Himachal Pradesh has achieved near-universal household water coverage.
He further stated that under the Swachh Bharat Mission, more than 120 million toilets have been constructed nationwide, including nearly two lakh in Himachal Pradesh. The campaign has not only improved sanitation but also enhanced the dignity and safety of women.
He said that under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, millions of poor families have received permanent homes, with more than one lakh beneficiaries in Himachal Pradesh alone.
Speaking about healthcare reforms, Nadda noted that the number of medical colleges in India has increased from around 376 in 2014 to more than 820 today. Himachal Pradesh has seen the establishment of medical colleges in Chamba, Hamirpur and Nahan, while AIIMS Bilaspur has emerged as a landmark achievement in the state’s healthcare sector.
Nadda emphasized that India is rapidly moving towards self-reliance in defense production. Defense exports have increased by over 5,700 percent, and India is now exporting defense equipment to several countries. BrahMos missiles, indigenous defense systems and advanced military technologies are symbols of India’s growing strategic strength.
On national security, he said that Prime Minister Modi has adopted a zero-tolerance policy against terrorism. India is now a nation that responds decisively to terrorism. Significant improvements have also been made in former Naxal-affected regions through enhanced infrastructure, education, healthcare and development initiatives.
Highlighting India’s achievements in science and technology, Nadda said that the success of Chandrayaan-3, preparations for the Gaganyaan mission, growth in mobile manufacturing, semiconductor production, Digital India initiatives, Vande Bharat trains, modern airports and optical fiber connectivity reflect the confidence and capability of New India.
Focusing on Himachal Pradesh, Nadda said that the Modi government has given unprecedented momentum to the state’s development through investments in roads, healthcare, education and infrastructure. He said that projects such as AIIMS Bilaspur, new medical colleges, expanded national highways and welfare schemes have transformed the lives of lakhs of people across the state.
He added that initiatives like Jal Jeevan Mission, Ujjwala Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana have brought meaningful improvements to the lives of families in Himachal Pradesh, ensuring better living standards and greater social security.
Concluding his address, Nadda said that India today is confident, strong and ready to play a leading role on the global stage. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the nation is progressing steadily through the Amrit Kaal, and every BJP worker remains committed to realizing the vision of a Developed India by 2047.
