Trade deals signal India’s growing global standing
Another MP who attended the meeting said the Prime Minister described the India–US tariff agreement as a “big decision” that would benefit the country. The trade agreements, signed with 39 developed countries, were seen within the NDA as a major diplomatic and economic achievement under Mr Modi’s leadership.
The meeting also had a celebratory note, as newly elected BJP national president Nitin Nabin was felicitated by party members. His participation highlighted the party’s organisational transition alongside its emphasis on governance and international outreach.
Budget praise and message to stay connected with people
Mr Modi also commended Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman for presenting her ninth consecutive Union Budget. He said the Budget laid out a clear roadmap for India’s development up to 2047, when the country will complete 100 years as a modern independent nation. The praise underlined the government’s focus on long-term planning rather than short-term political gains.
