Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis recently addressed the release of Rashtra Nirmanachi Tappurti, a commemorative publication celebrating 12 years under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. Speaking during this event, Mr. Fadnavis expressed confidence in India's economic prospects, citing the potential for rapid growth once international tensions ease.
Marking the twelfth anniversary of Mr. Modi's inauguration on May 26, 2014, the gathering included prominent political figures such as BJP State President Ravindra Chavan, Maharashtra Skills Development Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha, and Mumbai BJP president Amit Satam. The publication provides insight into policy decisions and sector-wise achievements made over the past decade under the National Democratic Alliance government.
Comparing current investment-led economic strategies to the subsidy-driven models of previous administrations, Mr. Fadnavis underscored that earlier frameworks focused more on direct subsidies rather than substantial infrastructure investments. According to him, the shift towards capital-intensive projects has not only bolstered the national treasury but also created new opportunities and welfare measures.
Key Economic Transformations under Modi's Leadership
In his speech, Mr. Fadnavis highlighted how India's gross domestic product (GDP) rose from Rs 103 lakh crore in 2013-14 to its current level as of recent data. Similarly, the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) in Maharashtra increased significantly, from around Rs 13 lakh crore to over Rs 54 lakh crore during his tenure.
The Chief Minister attributed these achievements to structural reforms and sustained investment-led policies. He emphasized that India's economic expansion has generated greater government revenues, which have subsequently enabled welfare measures aimed at poverty alleviation and self-reliance.
