According to Naidu, the period witnessed efforts to improve access to basic amenities while also enhancing India’s capabilities in areas such as space exploration, agriculture and defence.
A defining feature of PM Modi’s governance has been the balance between welfare and development, combining support for vulnerable sections with reforms aimed at expanding opportunities, accelerating growth and strengthening the country’s economic foundations.

Looking forward, the CM said India has emerged more confident about its future, more ambitious in its goals and more determined in its pursuit of excellence.

“Twelve years ago, Bharat (India) chose decisive leadership. Today, Bharat stands stronger, safer, more prosperous and more confident than ever before under PM Modi’s leadership,” said Kalyan in a post on X.
He said the Centre had strengthened national security, modernised the armed forces, elevated India’s position as a leading global economy and enhanced its international standing through initiatives such as the G20 Summit and engagement with the Global South.
