As the NDA government completed 12 years at the Centre on Tuesday, leaders from the BJP and ally JD(U) credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for welfare-driven governance, tighter transparency mechanisms and India’s growing diplomatic influence on the global stage.
The anniversary is also expected to set the tone for a wider political outreach by the ruling alliance ahead of key electoral battles, with the BJP preparing a nationwide campaign to showcase what it calls the government’s “22 major achievements” across sectors ranging from welfare delivery to infrastructure and foreign policy.

Speaking to IANS, Bihar Minister Ram Kripal Yadav said the Modi government had focused on schemes aimed at improving the lives of the poor while working on the principle of inclusive governance.
“The Prime Minister’s tenure has completed 12 years. Undoubtedly, during this period, the Prime Minister has carried out many people-oriented initiatives for the uplift of the poor, based on the principles of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas’. Today, the country is moving forward, and the 140 crore people of India are expressing satisfaction…” he said.
Bihar BJP president Sanjay Saraogi said the party would organise a nationwide programme between June 5 and June 21 to mark the occasion.
“The Prime Minister, with the resolve of ‘Nation First’, is going to complete his 12 years in office. He has become one of the most popular leaders in the world, and today a large section of the country supports him. The Bharatiya Janata Party has decided to celebrate a fortnight from June 5 to June 21 to mark the completion of these 12 years in office…” he told IANS.

According to party leaders, Union ministers, chief ministers, MPs and senior BJP functionaries are expected to reach out to people across the country as part of the campaign.
The outreach is likely to focus on welfare schemes, digital governance, infrastructure growth, economic reforms and foreign policy initiatives undertaken during the Modi government’s tenure.
JD(U) National Spokesperson Rajeev Ranjan also backed the government’s record, particularly on governance reforms and India’s external relations.
“During the 12-year tenure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, major decisions related to transparency have helped reduce corruption. It has become easier to identify responsibilities and point out mistakes compared to earlier times,” Prasad said.

Referring to India’s diplomatic standing, he said the country’s position on the global stage had strengthened over the years.
“No one can deny that India’s global acceptance has improved compared to previous governments. Many countries that are in conflict with each other are still looking towards India with equal hope. This is probably one of the biggest reasons that India has maintained a balance in its foreign relations, whether it is China, Russia, or the United States…” he added.
The BJP-led NDA returned to power for a third straight term in 2024, with the Modi government continuing to place welfare expansion, infrastructure creation and global diplomacy at the centre of its political messaging.
