BJP to hold nationwide events on June 10 marking Modi govt's 12-year milestone
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to organise a nationwide series of celebrations on June 10 to mark 12 years of the Narendra Modi-led government, coinciding with the anniversary of Modi's oath-taking for his third consecutive term in 2024. The events, spanning every state in the country including New Delhi, will highlight the ruling coalition's development record and lay out a vision for Viksit Bharat by 2047.
Why June 10
Narendra Modi was first sworn in as the 15th Prime Minister of India on 26 May 2014, making Tuesday the formal 12-year mark of his government's tenure. However, the BJP has chosen June 10 — the date on which Modi took oath for his third term in 2024 — as the focal point of its commemorations, marking the launch of what the party calls Modi government 3.0.
Key Events Planned
Union Ministers, Chief Ministers, and Deputy Chief Ministers of National Democratic Alliance (NDA)-governed states are expected to present a catalogue of the government's achievements under Modi's leadership, according to party functionaries. A vote of thanks on 12 years of governance is also on the agenda.
Chief Ministers and Deputy Chief Ministers of NDA-ruled states are set to converge in Delhi on June 10. The meeting will be attended by Prime Minister Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and BJP President Nitin Nabin, along with other NDA leaders and senior ministers.
Ground-Level Outreach
Seminars, press conferences, and dialogues with prominent personalities from various fields are being planned across all states. BJP workers have reportedly been conducting door-to-door outreach, informing citizens about welfare measures, developmental initiatives, and other achievements of the past 12 years.
Interactive programmes with beneficiaries of centrally sponsored schemes are also being organised from booth level up to district and state level. BJP President Nabin confirmed on Tuesday that a virtual preparatory meeting was held with Chief Ministers, Deputy Chief Ministers, party General Secretaries, and state presidents of BJP-ruled states.
Broader Calendar of Events
Beyond the June 10 milestone, the BJP is also planning events around World Environment Day on June 5 — including tree plantation drives — and International Yoga Day on June 21, both of which are expected to draw participation from party workers and the general public. Leaders have expressed confidence that citizens will continue to repose trust in what they describe as Modi's 'vibrant and visionary leadership.'
With the Viksit Bharat 2047 roadmap set to be formally presented at these events, the BJP appears to be using the anniversary as a platform to frame its long-term political and governance narrative ahead of future electoral cycles.
