NDA represents 80 per cent land, 76 per cent population under PM Modi: Shah
Business To Business, New Delhi, 11th June, 2026: Amit Shah on Thursday lauded the leadership of Narendra Modi while addressing the 11th Governing Council meeting of NITI Aayog in New Delhi.
Shah said the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) currently governs states and territories representing approximately 80% of India's land area and 76% of its population, which he attributed to public confidence in Modi's leadership.
Remarks on Governance and Stability
According to Shah, Modi has provided stable leadership over an extended period, enabling progress across multiple sectors.
He stated that the Prime Minister's tenure would be remembered for:
- Policy formulation and implementation.
- Long-term governance stability.
- Economic and developmental initiatives.
- Foreign policy reforms.
- Strengthening national security and defence preparedness.
Claims on Long-Standing Issues
Shah argued that several issues that had persisted for decades have been addressed during the last 12 years, including:
- Naxalism.
- Terrorism.
- The constitutional provisions relating to Revocation of Article 370.
He presented these developments as examples of decisive governance under the Modi government.
Foreign and Defence Policy
The Home Minister also praised the government's approach to international relations and national security, saying India's foreign policy has become more assertive and that defence strategies have been framed to safeguard national interests and dignity.
Shah's remarks came during a meeting focused on the theme of inclusive development and the vision of
Viksit Bharat 2047. The gathering brought together chief ministers, lieutenant governors, Union ministers, and senior policymakers to discuss development priorities and cooperation between the Centre and states.
His comments also reflect the BJP-led NDA's broader political narrative highlighting governance continuity, infrastructure expansion, economic reforms, welfare programmes, and national security achievements during Modi's tenure.
