”All parties part of the NDA repose full faith in the leadership of PM Modi to attain a bigger mandate in 2024 than that won in 2019,” they said.
Shiv Sena president and Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde proposed the resolution in the meeting while the AIADMK’s K Palaniswami and the AGP’s Atul Bora supported it.
”All constituents of the NDA resolved that it will unitedly contest the Lok Sabha elections under PM Modi’s leadership and he for the third consecutive time will become the prime minister of the country with a huge majority,” it said.
Over the last nine years, the NDA government has realised the vision of Sewa, Sushasan and Gareeb Kalyaan (service, good governance and welfare of the poor) in the true sense, it said.
This journey of good governance and development has seen the participation of all sections, regions and communities, the resolution added.
Be it the NDA government under Atal Bihar Vajpayee or the one under Modi, it has always worked for nation-building while respecting regional aspirations, it said.
The resolution lauded the Modi government’s pro-poor measures which, it added, has led to a sharp reduction in poverty.
It has been committed to social and economic upliftment of the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, women and economically weaker sections of the society, it said.
Praising its efforts to empower the poor, the resolution noted that Ram Nath Kovind, a Dalit, and Droupadi Murmu, a tribal, were made the country’s President under its tenure.
It also mentioned India’s ”rising economic prowess on the global stage” and its emergence as a capable, strong, powerful and secure country under Modi’s leadership.
”It is a matter of pride for the entire country, including us, that 14 countries have conferred their highest honour upon Modiji,” the resolution said.
”NDA constituents unanimously commit that under the leadership of PM Modi ji, as participants of this development journey – we are one, we are united and we are unanimous,” it added.
