PM Modi changed speed and scale of governance, resulting in faster development: Arjun Ram Meghwal
New Delhi, June 11
Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal on Thursday lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's contribution over the last 12 years, saying that progress has been made across every sector.
Highlighting the government's performance, Meghwal said PM Modi has changed the speed and scale of governance, resulting in 'extraordinary development.'
Speaking to ANI, he said, "Looking back after these 12 years, we observe that the scale of schemes expanded and their implementation became timely; one need only examine any given scheme to see this. He (PM Modi) changed the speed and the scale, and the result was an accelerated pace of development."
Meghwal further highlighted several schemes implemented during PM Modi's tenure, stating, "PM Modi pledged to build permanent houses for everyone... Certain schemes were introduced that simply didn't exist before. Progress has been made in every sector; the scope, scale, and speed of schemes have all increased."
Yesterday, Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah delivered a resounding tribute to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, hailing his achievement as India's longest-continuously serving elected Prime Minister as a defining moment in the nation's democratic history, surpassing a 62-year-old record.
Addressing the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) conference, Shah lauded the Prime Minister for shattering a 62-year-old record and reshaping India's political landscape. He argued that while post-Independence political success was often inherited, PM Modi's sustained electoral mandate represents a new era, the "politics of performance," built entirely on trust, accountability, and public endorsement.
Shah described the "Modi Era" as a period that will be recorded in "golden letters," citing the Prime Minister's ability to provide unwavering political stability and continuity. He credited this leadership with replacing a "long-standing collective inferiority complex" among citizens with a sense of national self-belief, anchored by the vision of a "Developed India by 2047."
"Stability, continuity, and decisiveness have become synonymous with Prime Minister Modi's leadership," Shah remarked. He emphasised that the government has successfully pivoted Indian politics away from the traditional traps of "casteism, dynastic rule, and appeasement," favouring a model rooted in development-oriented governance.

I'm not from India but I follow your politics. It's truly impressive that PM Modi has maintained such widespread support for over a decade. The 'politics of performance' concept Amit Shah mentioned is interesting - maybe other democracies can learn something.
Arrey, speed and scale are good, but what about the common man's daily struggle? Petrol prices are through the roof, and employment opportunities for youth are not matching the hype. Development shouldn't just be about big projects but also about putting money in people's pockets. Just my honest observation. 🤔
I agree with Meghwal ji. Look at the Ujjwala scheme giving free gas connections to poor women, or the Ayushman Bharat health insurance. My mother got a permanent pucca house under PM Awas Yojana - something we never dreamed possible earlier. The difference in governance is visible on ground.
I've been studying Indian governance for my dissertation. The data does show improved delivery of welfare schemes post-2014. However, the criticism about rising inequality and lack of job creation in manufacturing is valid. Complex picture. It'll be interesting to see how the 'Developed India by 2047' vision addresses these structural issues.
Shah's point about ending 'casteism, dynastic rule, and appeasement' is spot on. For decades, vote bank politics held our country back. PM Modi gave us 'sabka saath, sabka vikas.' The speed of decision making -
