Leader of the House JP Nadda set the Rajya Sabha abuzz with his Wednesday address on the President’s speech, framing a visionary path to Viksit Bharat 2047. He meticulously outlined the 2026 targets and five-year action plan embedded in the address.
Reflecting on recent breakthroughs, Nadda described an ‘economic revolution unfolding relentlessly.’ Key highlights include the EU trade agreement, Economic Survey revelations, budget innovations, and the Indo-US strategic deal—a seamless sequence of successes.
The Survey unequivocally positions India as the fastest-growing major economy, backed by WEF chief’s estimate of 20 percent contribution to world GDP growth. ‘These are not empty boasts,’ Nadda stressed.
The landmark EU agreement, hailed as ‘Mother of All Deals,’ grants Indian artisans, businesses, IT firms, and entrepreneurs access to 27 markets, igniting job growth. Nadda detailed the India-Oman corridor for energy and trade, fortifying Link West, alongside New Zealand and UK FTAs.
These pacts empower farmers with better markets, entrepreneurs with opportunities, students with study abroad options, and women with developmental avenues. Contrasting this, Nadda criticized opposition’s poverty alleviation failures, which fostered middlemen corruption and vote-bank politics without delivery.
Modi governance’s achievements shine: 25 crore out of poverty, ongoing construction of 3 crore homes, 12.5 crore water connections, 10 crore gas cylinders distributed. 95 crore under social security net, Rs 6.75 lakh crore via DBT.
India leads in health insurance, covering 62 crore with Rs 5 lakh for critical care. Ayushman cards enable free hospital treatment, easing burdens on the elderly. Treatment for cancer now commences within 30 days for 90 percent patients, per reports.
In conclusion, Nadda’s discourse wove economic aggression with welfare profundity, heralding India’s inexorable rise.
