NDA committed to principal of Nation First: Narendra Modi

Addressing alliance partners and newly elected lawmakers in New Delhi, Narendra Modi on Friday said the NDA was not a grouping of parties that have come together for power, but an organic alliance committed to the principle of 'nation first'. Setting the government’s agenda for the next ten years, he said the focus would be on “good governance, development, and minimum interference in the lives of citizens”.

He also took a swipe at the opposition INDIA alliance, saying that those questioning EVMs and the Election Commission during the elections were silenced on June 4.This is the strength of India's democracy, its fairness...I hope I won't get to hear about EVM for 5 years. But when we go into 2029, perhaps they will again harp about EVM...The country will never forgive them," he said.He congratulated NDA leaders who have won in the Lok Sabha elections and said he must salute the lakhs of ground workers who worked to ensure this victory.Modi said "Even after 10 years, Congress could not touch the figure of 100 seats. If we combine the 2014, 2019 and 2024 elections, Congress did not even get as many seats as BJP got in this election. I can clearly see the people of the INDI alliance were sinking slowly earlier, now they are going to sink at a fast pace..."
