In addition, Modi emphasized the significance of good governance, development, and enhancing citizens’ quality of life in the coming years.
Acknowledging the concerns of the middle and upper-middle classes, Modi pledged to minimize government interference, aiming to expedite the realization of people’s aspirations. He also praised the grassroots-level work of NDA allies, emphasizing the organic growth of the coalition and the need for synergy between regional and national aspirations for comprehensive development.
