Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, saying India has made significant strides in welfare, infrastructure, social security and economic growth during the past 12 years.
In a post on X marking one year of the Modi government’s third term and 12 years of Narendra Modi as Prime Minister, Amit Shah said the country had witnessed an unprecedented combination of welfare measures for the poor and rapid development.
“On this day, Narendra Modi Ji took oath as Prime Minister for a third consecutive term. Under Modi ji’s leadership, over these 12 years, the country has witnessed for the first time the parallel realisation of poor welfare and unprecedented development,” Amit Shah said.
Highlighting the government’s achievements, the Home Minister said free food grains are being provided to 80 crore people under welfare schemes. He also pointed to the expansion of transport infrastructure, including the launch of more than 90 airports and over 140 Vande Bharat trains across the country.
Amit Shah said the government has provided pucca houses to more than four crore poor families and built 1.45 lakh kilometres of roads along with more than 3,000 kilometres of modern expressways.
He further noted that around 50 crore people have been covered under health insurance schemes offering up to ₹5 lakh in medical coverage, while more than 10 crore families have received LPG connections.
The Home Minister also credited the Modi government with making India the world’s fastest-growing major economy and praised the Prime Minister’s dedication to public service.
“Modi ji has served the nation and its citizens tirelessly through these 12 years without taking even a single day off. Such transformation is possible only when leadership has clear intent, national interest as its goal, and complete dedication,” Shah said.
The remarks came as the Narendra Modi government completed 12 years in office, a period during which the BJP-led administration has highlighted its focus on welfare delivery, infrastructure expansion, economic reforms and social security initiatives.
