On Budget 2026-27 in Gandhinagar (Gujarat)
BJP National President Shri Nitin Nabin addressed leading industrialists, chartered accountants, and entrepreneurs at the ‘Budget Meet’ held in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, on 20 February 2026. Praising the state’s industry, investment climate, innovation, and model of good governance, Shri Nitin Nabin said under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, both the country and Gujarat are setting new benchmarks of development. Shri Nitin Nabin stated that the recently presented budget is a visionary roadmap that accelerates the goal of a Viksit Bharat, guided by strong financial management, transparent governance, and the spirit of “Nation First.”
New spirit of entrepreneurship has emerged
BJP National President mentioned that he was pleased to see that under the vision of the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, a new spirit of entrepreneurship has emerged among mothers and sisters. Through the formation of Self-Help Groups and the vision of promoting women entrepreneurs, the Prime Minister is continuously taking initiatives to strengthen and empower half of the population. ‘Lakhpati Didi’ is not merely a phrase, but a process aimed at enhancing the self-respect and dignity of women. Gujarat’s women have played a major role in the most successful Self-Help Group experiments.
Highlights
• Gujarat has given the nation such leadership whose resolve and decisive policies have placed India firmly on the path of rapid progress today.
• Over the past 12 years, the son of Gujarat’s sacred soil, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, has given the entire country a new direction.
• Gujarati traders remain committed to the nation even more than to their own work and industry. A Gujarati can compromise on many things, but never on national pride.
• The agreements concluded over the past year with the European Union and the United States through patience, discipline, and safeguarding India’s interests support India’s future roadmap.
• While the world is going through a phase of economic instability, India, with a 7 percent growth rate and controlled inflation, continues to be the fastest-growing major economy in the world.
• The Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji is moving forward with a clear roadmap to realize the dream of Viksit Bharat by 2047. This Budget is extremely important in fulfilling the resolve of a Viksit Bharat.
• In this Budget, while infrastructure has been accelerated, equal importance has also been given to the defence sector. The defence budget has been increased by 15% this time.
• By declaring the year 2026 as Tourism Year, the Government of Gujarat has given fresh momentum to the state’s tourism potential. Under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, developed riverfronts, the Statue of Unity and Somnath Mandir have rapidly transformed Gujarat into an emerging tourism hub.
• An incident also occurred today which saddened everyone. The kind of behaviour displayed during such a major international summit reflects what is being described as ‘Urban Naxalism’.
• When the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji declared his office as Sevatiirth, it signaled that the office is dedicated to service and that from there, work will be carried out keeping the nation’s 1.4 billion citizens at the centre of governance and service.
