AP CM Naidu hails PM Modi’s Leadership at NDA Meeting, Calls Him India’s ‘Anchor and Innovator’
New Delhi, June 11 (TNT): Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, governance and global stature, describing him as India’s “anchor and innovator” while moving a resolution of gratitude at the NDA meeting in New Delhi.
The resolution marked Prime Minister Modi’s completion of 12 years in office and his emergence as India’s longest-serving continuously elected Prime Minister.
Tabling the resolution, Naidu said, “It is a great honour to place before this august gathering a Resolution of Gratitude, a historic tribute to India’s longest-serving continuously elected Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi ji — the right leader, at the right time, at the right place.”
Praising Modi’s leadership style, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief said the Prime Minister’s greatest strength was his ability to provide stability while driving innovation.
“Narendra Modi ji’s greatest strength is that he serves as both our anchor and our innovator. He works with a single agenda — Nation First, a principle that all of us must constantly keep in mind,” Naidu said.
Reflecting on Modi’s public service career, he noted that the Prime Minister has spent nearly 25 years in elected executive office, first as Chief Minister of Gujarat and later as Prime Minister.
“Sometimes I introspect and ask myself how he is able to consistently live up to the expectations of the people. That is the hallmark of his leadership,” Naidu remarked.
Highlighting India’s economic performance amid global uncertainties, Naidu said the country had demonstrated resilience despite wars, supply-chain disruptions, volatile energy markets and slowing growth in several major economies.
“Inflation in India has remained at around 3.5 per cent, among the lowest among major economies in the world. That reflects the leadership being provided by our Honourable Prime Minister,” he said.
Commending Modi’s work ethic and energy, Naidu described him as a proven performer who continues to display creativity and innovation.
“Over all these years, I have never seen him tired. He is always energetic and, more importantly, he inspires and energises others,” he said.
The Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister also praised Modi’s international standing, saying the Prime Minister enjoys widespread respect and popularity across the world.
“Narendra Modi ji stands shoulder to shoulder with any leader in the world. Every survey points to his popularity as a global leader. That is a matter of pride for the entire nation,” he said.
Naidu said India’s growing global reputation was closely linked to Modi’s leadership.
“Wherever you go in the world, Indians and India are respected because of you, sir,” he added.
Expressing confidence in India’s future growth trajectory, Naidu said the country’s aspiration to become the world’s largest economy could be realised under Modi’s leadership.
“Our goal is to become the world’s number one economy. That aspiration can be realised under the leadership of our Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, and I am confident that day will come,” he said.
Calling the present period a transformative phase in India’s development journey, Naidu said the nation was entering a “golden era” and reiterated the NDA’s commitment to building a developed India by 2047.
“This is India’s defining moment. It is the beginning of a golden era. Our faith in his leadership is complete, our commitment to the people is unwavering, and our resolve to build a Viksit Bharat by 2047 is unshakeable,” he added.
