Targeted and Constructive Criticism is Essential for Effective Policy Making: Prime Minister
However, the Prime Minister pointed out that many people choose to bypass thorough analysis, opting for baseless accusations and hidden agendas instead of verifying the truth. He reiterated that well-structured and specific criticism is essential for effective policymaking, but criticized those who exploit misinformation to mislead the public.
During the podcast, PM Modi recalled the events surrounding the 2002 Godhra riots, remarking, “A false narrative was propagated regarding the Godhra case.” He noted that prior to 2002, Gujarat had experienced over 250 riots, with communal violence being commonplace. He added that the world was then witnessing a spike in terrorism and unrest. “Since 2002, however, not a single riot has occurred in Gujarat,” he asserted, underscoring his government’s commitment to inclusive governance based on the principles of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas.”
The Prime Minister also addressed the attempts to tarnish his reputation in the aftermath of the riots, stating that justice ultimately prevailed, clearing him of all accusations. He proceeded to highlight governance reforms undertaken by his administration, including the removal of 10 crore fake beneficiaries from welfare schemes, which ensured that benefits were directed to the appropriate individuals through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), resulting in savings of Rs 3 lakh crore. Additionally, his government repealed 1,500 outdated laws and eliminated over 45,000 compliance requirements to streamline governance.
When asked about feelings of loneliness, PM Modi replied, “I never feel alone. I believe in the 1+1 theory—one is Modi, and the other is the divine. God is always with me.” He expressed that for him, ‘Serving the People is Serving God,’ and he feels supported both by the divine and by the 1.4 billion citizens of India.
PM Modi also discussed India’s civilizational identity, highlighting the nation’s diversity and shared ethos. He reaffirmed that his governance is centered around the needs of the people rather than electoral considerations, promoting a saturation policy to ensure unbiased distribution of benefits.
Appreciating the dedication of BJP workers, he expressed pride in being a member of the world’s largest political party, which embodies the value of giving. Furthermore, the Prime Minister advised students that exams are not the sole measure of their potential, emphasizing that they should not define one’s true capabilities. Through the Pariksha Pe Charcha initiative, he has engaged directly with students, addressing their concerns and gaining insights into their views on education.
