Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday hailed the announcement of the 2024 Lok Sabha election dates by the Election Commission as the commencement of the “biggest festival of democracy.” Asserting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA)’s readiness for the electoral battle, Modi emphasized their campaign’s foundation on the pillars of good governance and widespread service delivery.
Reflecting on the transformative journey of the past decade, Modi juxtaposed the dismal governance of the previous administration with the current administration’s achievements. Noting India’s ascent to the fifth-largest economy and significant poverty alleviation efforts, he underscored the reach and impact of governmental schemes across the nation.
