on President’s Address in Rajya Sabha
BJP National President Shri JP Nadda shared his views on the Motion of Thanks on Hon’ble President’s address in Rajya Sabha on 02 July 2024. Talking to the House, Shri Nadda said, “The far-reaching effects of the government’s policies are evident to all of us. This historic moment, the ‘Amrit Kaal’, is truly a fortuitous time for us as we align ourselves with this journey towards a developed India”.
While speaking on the Motion of Thanks BJP National President Shri JP Nadda expressed his gratitude and said the address delivered by the Hon’ble President in the Central Hall of Parliament is a testament to our development journey and a roadmap for the future. I would like to highlight that this address encapsulates our collective aspirations and the strategies for advancing a developed India. The Hon’ble President has thoughtfully articulated this vision, providing a detailed and holistic overview of our development trajectory. This address is not only comprehensive but also serves as an inspiration to all of us who are dedicated to realising the goal of a developed India.
He said, “I would also like to state that the policies and programs cited by the government reflect two significant aspects. Firstly, they demonstrate the current trajectory of the country’s progress, and secondly, they highlight the long-term impact these policies and programmes will have in transforming India into a developed nation. It is essential for all of us to keep this in mind”.
‘Amrit Kaal’
He said we are fortunate to have entered the ‘Amrit Kaal’, a period that marks a 25-year journey ahead of us. During this journey, we are committed to advancing our nation into a developed India. This is a cause for celebration as we are privileged to witness and contribute to this glorious era.
Shri Nadda said regardless of our positions, we should consider ourselves very fortunate to be part of this remarkable time and to have the opportunity to participate in this significant endeavor. “I would like to emphasise that the far-reaching effects of the government’s policies are evident to all of us. This historic moment, the ‘Amrit Kaal’, is truly a fortuitous time for us as we align ourselves with this journey towards a developed India”.
World’s largest and fastest vaccination programme
Under Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s leadership, India successfully conducted the world’s largest and fastest vaccination programme, administering 2.2 billion doses, including both double doses and booster shots.
World’s largest storage capacity
He said the significant strides we have made in the agriculture sector, particularly in agro-based and fishery-based industries, with our Blue Revolution. We have prioritised this sector and integrated villages into our development plans. A network of Farmers Producer Organizations (FPOs) is emerging. Alongside these FPOs, we have almost one lakh cooperative organisations (PACs) reaching approximately 13 crore farmers, and we are committed to further expanding this network. In terms of the agricultural sector, our policies are designed to have a long-term impact. We recognized the storage deficiency in India, and under Prime Minister Shri Modi’s leadership, we are working towards enhancing storage capacity through the cooperative sector. Our goal is to create the world’s largest storage capacity, and we are diligently working towards this objective. These efforts reflect our commitment to strengthening the agricultural sector, ensuring comprehensive development, and supporting our farmers in every possible way.
Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana
Today, under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, all-weather roads have been constructed spanning approximately 380,000 kilometers across the country. Furthermore, whether it was during Atal Ji’s tenure, the era of Swarnim Chaturbhuj/ Golden Quadrilateral, or Shri Modi Ji’s time, the Express Highways, or Expressways and highways have been constructed in various forms. There was a time when before 2014, roads were constructed at a rate of 12.1 kilometres per day. Today, this rate has increased to 28.3 kilometres of roads being built per day.
Prime Minister’s Housing Scheme
Under the Prime Minister’s Housing Scheme, 4 crore houses have been constructed. Today, under the Prime Minister’s Housing Scheme, 40-50 houses are being built in each panchayat.
Shri Nadda said the impact of the “Prime Minister Janman Yojana,” which allocates approximately 24,000 crore rupees for remote and backward areas was enormous. This initiative aims to transform our landscape, integrating residential schools and single-teacher schools into comprehensive development strategies under this program.
For the service of the poor
He said Rs. 30,000 crore has been allocated for the service of the poor, with Rs. 30 crore set aside for their treatment. Everyone needs to know that currently, all of us are below the age of 60, but once we reach 70, every individual—regardless of caste, income group, or gender—will receive Rs. 5 lakh health coverage under Ayushman Bharat. Please keep in mind that while we wish for good health, turning 70 increases the likelihood of illness. Here, insurance companies typically do not provide coverage after the age of 70. However, Prime Minister Shri Modi is providing lifelong health coverage of Rs. 5 lakh under Ayushman Bharat from the age of 70 onwards. This is the essence of Ayushman Bhav, advancing Ayushman Bharat.
Constitutional status to the OBC Commission
It was only when the Janata Dal government came, the reservation was implemented, and 27% reservation was given. Here, I want to tell you that the reservation was implemented, and along with that, it was Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi who gave constitutional status to the OBC Commission. No one else gave it, only Prime Minister Shri Modi did. That is why we say, “We don’t do lip service, we deliver. We don’t do lip service, we don’t play politics.”
He said, “We delve deep into the grassroots to understand the struggles of the OBCs, and it is Prime Minister Shri Modi who works to uplift them. This needs to be understood. In the end, many try to become champions of reservation, but they do not read their own history”.
Shri Nadda said let us work together to strengthen the country. I would like to take a commitment from all of you to join in making India a developed nation. With these words, I thank you very much.
