In a rousing Rajya Sabha speech, BJP president and Leader of the House JP Nadda celebrated India’s position as a global economic powerhouse. Discussing the President’s address, he detailed the blueprint for achieving a developed India by 2047, with specific milestones for 2026 and beyond.
The past week has been a whirlwind of economic triumphs, Nadda observed. From the EU free trade agreement to the insightful Economic Survey, the revolutionary budget, and the Indo-US pact, India is scripting history one deal at a time.
The Economic Survey proudly proclaims India as the world’s fastest-expanding major economy, a fact echoed by the World Economic Forum’s chief forecasting a 20 percent share in global growth. Nadda emphasized this external validation of India’s momentum.
Labeling the EU deal as the ‘Mother of All Deals,’ Nadda explained how it unlocks markets in 27 European countries for Indian exporters, craftsmen, startups, and tech experts, promising a surge in employment. The India-Oman pact enhances Middle East ties for energy security and commerce under the Link West initiative.
Nadda spotlighted free trade pacts with New Zealand—benefiting farmers and opening student visas—and the UK, a boon for IT professionals and businesses. He took a sharp dig at the opposition’s ‘Garibi Hatao’ rhetoric, accusing them of creating corrupt intermediaries and neglecting the poor.
Under Modi, real change has arrived: 250 million escaped poverty, pucca homes for millions with 30 million more planned, drinking water for 125 million households, LPG for 100 million. Over 950 million enjoy social security, and DBT has channeled Rs 6.75 lakh crore directly to beneficiaries.
Ayushman Bharat provides Rs 5 lakh coverage to 620 million for serious ailments, revolutionizing healthcare access. Seniors no longer fear medical bills, and cancer care has improved dramatically, with 90 percent of cases treated within a month of detection.
Nadda’s address underscored a holistic vision: robust trade expansion paired with unprecedented social upliftment, positioning India for sustained leadership on the world stage.
