00:0025 years ago, this day, Narendra Modi took over as the Chief Minister of Gujarat.
00:08Today, a quarter of a century later, that journey from Gandhinagar to Delhi
00:15is being marked as one of the most defining political milestones in India's political history.
00:23The BJP and the NDA are celebrating 25 years of Narendra Modi at the helm of government.
00:3213 years in Gujarat, 12 years and counting in Delhi.
00:38To mark this occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid out his vision,
00:44his roadmap for the journey towards a Vikasit Bharat or a developed India by 2047.
00:51So, speaking in the national capital, the Prime Minister's message was clear.
00:57We will do it, he said.
01:00He laid out five big targets for every Indian to achieve.
01:05Target number one, a top three global economy.
01:09India should be amongst the top three.
01:12An Atmanirbhar Bharat.
01:14And this is extremely critical to be self-dependent, self-reliant when it comes to manufacturing.
01:22Making India a global manufacturing hub.
01:26The Prime Minister has often spoken of,
01:28make in India, make for the world.
01:32A big dream, post the Olympic Games.
01:36And take India further into space.
01:41All of these, he said, are part of a larger ambition.
01:46Vikasit Bharat, a developed India by 2047.
01:50The Prime Minister also spoke about how India has changed in the past 25 years.
01:56He contrasted an earlier era.
01:59We often used to hear of words like policy paralysis.
02:03And now, an area, he insisted, he worked on very hard, faster reforms, transformation.
02:11He pointed to and focused on India's ability to withstand global crisis.
02:17And we've seen this year after year.
02:19Whether it was COVID-19, or it was a standoff,
02:24or the current situation, initially Russia-Ukraine 2022,
02:29or the Iran-US war 2025 and 2026.
02:33Saying, instead of the economy being shaken whenever there's a crisis,
02:38the country's resilience is now being discussed across the world.
02:43Narendra Modi's political journey began on the 7th of October in 2001.
02:49That was the day he took oath as the Chief Minister of Gujarat.
02:53He succeeded Keshubhai Patel.
02:56Not many thought he'll be able to survive.
02:59In fact, there are those who, election after election,
03:03and I've covered some of those elections,
03:04whether it was 2007 election or 12 elections in Gujarat,
03:09or 2014 when he became Prime Minister,
03:12they kept saying, he won't last.
03:14He's gone. This election, he's gone.
03:16The same people, election after election, would say, he's gone.
03:20He's still there.
03:22He continues.
03:24In 2002, he led the BJP to victory in Gujarat Assembly elections,
03:28elected as Chief Minister for the first time.
03:31He returned to power in 2007,
03:33and again with bigger numbers in 2012.
03:36Each time when those naysayers said,
03:38it's over, it's game over for Narendra Modi,
03:40but then there was a bigger game that was at play.
03:43So he completed 13 years as Chief Minister of Gujarat.
03:472013, the BJP named him as their Prime Ministerial candidate.
03:54And then in 2014, the BJP won a majority.
03:59282 seats in Lok Sabha.
04:01Narendra Modi moved from Gandhinagar to the National Council.
04:062019, there were many who said,
04:08oh, he's just a one election wonder.
04:10Just five years.
04:11Won't happen again.
04:132019, the BJP returned with even bigger numbers.
04:16Larger majority.
04:17303 seats on their own.
04:19And the Prime Minister began his second term.
04:22And then in 2024,
04:24the NDA returned.
04:25But this time,
04:27it was NDA that returned with majority,
04:30giving Prime Minister Narendra Modi
04:31the third consecutive term as Prime Minister,
04:35making him the first Prime Minister
04:37after Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru
04:39to lead a government for three terms.
04:4325 years of governance is also a story
04:46of decisions that have fundamentally shaped the nation.
04:51It's been called the Modi era.
04:54On the economic front, for example,
04:56there was GST bringing India's indirect tax system
04:59under one national framework.
05:03Many said it couldn't be done.
05:04It was done.
05:06Then there was a push for financial inclusion
05:08through the Jam Trinity,
05:11the Jandhan accounts,
05:12the Aadhaar-linked digital delivery
05:14and direct benefit transfers.
05:17Then came a game changer,
05:20an absolute game changer,
05:21the digital transformation
05:24with UPI turning digital payments
05:27into an everyday part of life
05:30which is happening so successfully in India today,
05:33not happening in many parts of the developed world.
05:36And Western leaders come to India and say,
05:38India has been able to do it.
05:41They haven't.
05:41Of course, there were many leaders,
05:44even in India,
05:45very powerful leaders,
05:46even in India,
05:47who said,
05:48no, this can't happen.
05:49It happened.
05:50On the political front,
05:51on the legal front,
05:52some of the biggest and most consequential decisions,
05:55including an absolute game changer,
05:59article 370,
06:00August 2019,
06:03that was an absolute game changer
06:05in our country's history and destiny.
06:09The Citizenship Amendment Act,
06:11the criminal law overhaul,
06:13the Bharatiya Nyai Sahita
06:15and related laws.
06:18And on the national security,
06:20we've been suffering Pakistan state-sponsored
06:23radical Islamist terror for decades.
06:261993,
06:27Pakistan used terrorists or criminals in our country
06:31to bleed us.
06:32257 died in serial blasts in Mumbai.
06:36257.
06:36Those terrorists had AK-47s,
06:38our police had bolt-action rifles.
06:41That is how terror had changed.
06:42What did India do?
06:43Nothing.
06:43Nothing.
06:44There was evidence of Pakistan's involvement.
06:47Court saw that evidence of Pakistan's involvement.
06:50India did nothing.
06:51And that wasn't the first time.
06:53You've had the 26-11 Mumbai terror attacks.
06:57The forces said,
06:58let's respond,
06:58let's hit Pakistan.
07:00Nothing was done.
07:03India,
07:03under Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
07:05gave Pakistan a chance.
07:07He not only invited Nawaz Sharif to India,
07:10he also went to Lahore.
07:12But then when Pakistan didn't change,
07:13one terror attack after the other,
07:15after the Uri terror attack,
07:17there were the first surgical strikes
07:19on Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir that time.
07:23And that was a game-changer.
07:252019, after Pulwama,
07:27came a bigger game-changer
07:28when Indian Air Force was used
07:29without declaration of war,
07:31not just to hit across the LC,
07:33hit across the international border
07:34in Khaybar Pakhtunkhwa,
07:36in Balakot.
07:37That was another signal sent out to Pakistan.
07:39No part of Pakistan is safe for terrorists.
07:41And then when Pehalgaam happened,
07:43when they massacred Hindus,
07:46when they called out Hindus
07:47and massacred them,
07:48these Pakistani terrorists,
07:50including their ex-servicemen,
07:52including SSG commandos,
07:53and gave out those messages to those widows,
07:56that was the time
08:00that an absolute game-changer decision
08:03was taken
08:03to bomb initially
08:06just terrorist bases,
08:07but the headquarters of terror
08:09at Mureed Ke,
08:11which was a dream
08:12for victims of terror
08:14and security forces
08:15for decades.
08:16That dream was realized
08:17when Mureed Ke,
08:19the Lashkar-e-Taiba headquarters,
08:20was hit,
08:20when Bahawalpur of Jaisheb Mohamad
08:23was hit,
08:23and when Pakistan tried
08:24to target Indian military assets,
08:26then Pakistan air force bases
08:28and Pakistan military bases
08:30from Rawalpindi to Lahore
08:32to Sargodha
08:33to Raheem Yarkhan
08:34to Rafiki
08:35to Jacobabad
08:36to Bholari in Sindh,
08:38no part of Pakistan
08:40is safe from Indian missiles.
08:42That was the message
08:43that was sent out
08:44very loud and clear.
08:46Of course,
08:46there are some,
08:47even in India,
08:48who refuse to see
08:49that writing on the wall,
08:51let alone the Pakistanis.
08:52They may have promoted a failure,
08:54but then there are many
08:55who promote failures even here.
08:56But that's a separate story.
08:58But look at global diplomacy.
09:00From the G20 presidency
09:02and the expansion of India's
09:04engagement with Global South,
09:06and that happened
09:06during India's G20 presidency,
09:09to initiatives
09:10like the International Solar Alliance
09:12and the Vaccine Maitri.
09:14A vikset Bharat by 2047,
09:16that is Prime Minister Narendra Modi's
09:18slogan and dream
09:19as he completes 25 years.
09:22As the Prime Minister,
09:23first Chief Minister of Gujarat
09:25and then Prime Minister of India.
09:2725 years as head of a government.
09:30Listen in to the Prime Minister's vision.
09:35Vikset Bharat by 2047,
09:40we will do it.
09:44Vikset Bharat by 2047,
10:03Vikset Bharat by 247,
10:20In parfum, the skill of the Olympics, in attack of the Felly.
10:25In attack of the Felly.
10:30Same with you.
10:32This failure, this pursuit, this sammy, this sou하루 is the last one.
10:46तब पॉलिसी परालिसिस की चर्चा होती थी और आज रिफार्मस एकस्प्रेस की चर्चा होती है
10:58तब इंपॉर्ट बढ़ाने के रास्ते खोजे जाते थे और आज एश्पॉर्ट के नए रिकॉर्ड बन रहे हैं
11:07तब हम अपनी जरुश के mobile phone भी import करते थे
11:13और आज made in India mobile phone का जलबा है
11:20तब पूरे भारत में blackout ये global headline मनती थी
11:28और आज भारत की solar power capacity के चर्चे होते है
11:34।
