New Delhi buzzed with political energy as the Budget Session of Parliament kicked off on Wednesday with President Droupadi Murmu’s address to both Houses. BJP National President Nitin Nabin wasted no time in praising the speech, declaring that India is scripting new chapters in development.
Speaking to reporters, Nabin highlighted how President Murmu painted a vivid picture of India’s rising stature. ‘The President’s address clearly outlined how India is reaching new heights in development under PM Modi’s leadership,’ he said. ‘The government is tirelessly working for farmers, laborers, youth, and every section of society.’
Nabin pointed to India’s economic surge, noting it has become the world’s fastest-growing major economy. He cited impressive milestones: rice production crossing 150 million tons to make India the top producer, and the country climbing to second in fish production. ‘These achievements signal India’s rapid progress on the development path,’ he emphasized.
Infrastructure growth is another highlight, with massive investments transforming connectivity. Nabin also stressed advancements in medical services and health education, positioning them as key indicators of national progress. The ‘Look East’ policy received a strong endorsement, with commitments to boost development in eastern states like the Northeast, Bihar, Bengal, Odisha, and Jharkhand.
Union Minister Chirag Paswan echoed these sentiments, lauding the Modi government’s 11-year track record in poverty alleviation. ‘The President aptly mentioned our schemes that have integrated the poor into the mainstream,’ Paswan said. He underscored the tangible implementation of welfare programs across sectors.
In a somber note amid the celebrations, Paswan mourned the passing of Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar, describing him as a grounded leader with deep expertise. ‘His demise is a huge loss for Maharashtra and national politics,’ he said, offering condolences on behalf of his party.
