He said credit goes to Modi Government in taking many revolutionary steps for the upliftment of common man and development of hitherto neglected and backward areas of the country. Dr Jitendra Singh said Modi Government created a history by taking out of box decisions for the betterment of the nation which included annulling of controversial Articles 370 and 35 A that were the main impediments in the progress of J&K and had given leverage to few dynastic parties who looted the resources of the erstwhile State while leaving the common man in the lurch.
He said it is the result of Modi Government’s visionary policy that India has emerged as the fifth economy in the world surpassing the Great Britain which ruled our country for 200 years. He said what the earlier Governments could not achieve in last 70 years of their rule Modi Government achieved that in 10 years.
Dr Jitendra Singh said that Sabka Saath , Sabka Vikas remained the core of BJP’s policy as Modi Government did not make any discrimination on the basis of religion or region while implementing the public welfare schemes.
Dr Jitendra Singh said PM Modi is determined to make India the third largest economy of world by 2027 i.e in next three years. PM has said that in next three years the infrastructure will reach new heights and there will be complete transformation in Indian Railways, he added.
He said PM has given special focus to J&K so far as development is concerned. The far off and hilly reaches of the UT especially in Udhampur -Kathua –Doda Parliamentary constituency have been touched with a class roads flyovers and tunnels.
In the last two terms Prime Minister Narendra Modi has emerged as the tallest leader. Today his word is heard with respect and awe by heads of states across the world and because of him India’s stature has grown and India’s word is being taken seriously at the high table in all international foras, said Dr Jitendra Singh.
PM Modi’s out-of-the-box decisions have given a push to different sectors including Space, Railways, Roads, Infrastructure and Electronics-Communication, and which has posted India’s economy from 11th rank to 5th largest economy and is now on the verge of occupying 3rd rank, the Union Minister said.
“In 2014, when PM Modi took over, India stood as the world’s tenth largest economy. In less than ten years, we jumped to 5th position. Hopefully this year it will emerge as the 4th largest economy and during PM Modi’s 3rd term, India will be the world’s 3rd largest economy, marching on to become the No.1 economy by 2047,” he said.
During financial year 2023-24, Indian economy grew at 6 percent plus for the third successive year even as the global economy struggles to grow at around 3 percent. We are the third-largest fintech economy in the world after the USA and the UK, he said.

“India of 2024 is ready to take a giant leap, backed by its scientific acumen and technological prowess,” he said.
As India entered the Amrit Kaal marking the 75th year of Independence, the Youth is the centre of focus of the Modi Government by empowering the Amrit-Peedhi, he said.

Dr Jitendra Singh emphasised the need to effectively convey to the common masses, particularly youth and women, the enormous development that has taken place in Udhampur constituency in the last 10 years under the patronage of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“Therefore, the common citizen believes that India can become the world’s leading economy under the leadership of PM Modi because of the outreach he commands across the world and the common people also feel confident under the Government headed by Narendra Modi,” he said.
