Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav on Tuesday, 9 June 2026, took to X to mark 12 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, saluting him as a 'Pradhan Sewak' (prime servant) rather than merely a prime minister and crediting his tenure with transformative welfare delivery and India's rise as a global power.

Context

In his post, Dr. Yadav wrote that 12 years ago the country chose Narendra Modi as its prime minister with 'enthusiasm and unshakeable faith,' but that Modi had always regarded himself as a 'Pradhan Sewak' — a servant of the people. He added that Modi has been fulfilling his 'Rashtra Dharma' (national duty) by working towards the construction of a 'Viksit Bharat' (Developed India). The post was accompanied by the hashtag #12YearsOfSeva, reflecting the BJP's broader communication effort to mark the anniversary of the NDA government's first swearing-in on 26 May 2014.

Policy Backdrop

Narendra Modi was first sworn in as Prime Minister on 26 May 2014 following the BJP-led NDA's decisive general election victory. Dr. Yadav's tribute specifically highlighted three landmark policy moments: the abolition of instant triple talaq through the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019, which he described as freeing Muslim sisters from a 'curse' and protecting their self-respect; free ration distribution under the PM Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PMGKAY) for every eligible citizen during the COVID-19 pandemic; and a nationwide free vaccination drive that also supplied vaccines to other countries, introducing the world to the spirit of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' (the world is one family) through the Vaccine Maitri initiative.

The guiding slogan of the central government's welfare policy — 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas' (Together with all, development for all, trust of all, effort of all) — was also cited by Dr. Yadav as the resolve underpinning these achievements. He stated that Modi's numerous welfare schemes have given people at the bottom rung of society a sense of rights, dignity and self-reliance.

Stakeholders and Impact

The post specifically identifies four groups as primary beneficiaries of the decade-plus governance record: the poor (Garib), the youth (Yuva), farmers (Annadata), and women (Nari). Dr. Yadav stated that each of these sections has seen 'a new dawn of prosperity' under Modi's leadership, with 140 crore Indians being served as an act of devotion to God. The tribute reflects the BJP's consistent electoral messaging that welfare delivery — from direct benefit transfers and housing schemes to food security and women's legal rights — has built durable trust across social groups.

The reference to India standing as a 'Mahashakti' (superpower) on the world stage situates domestic welfare within a larger narrative of geopolitical ascent, a framing that has been central to the party's communication since the 2014 election cycle.

What's Next

State governments led by BJP chief ministers, including Madhya Pradesh, are expected to continue aligning state-level schemes with the central Viksit Bharat 2047 vision as the government progresses toward its long-term development targets. Posts such as this one signal that the anniversary of Modi's first oath-taking will remain a recurring mobilisation moment for the party, with welfare delivery data and social reform milestones used to consolidate support across constituencies ahead of future electoral cycles.
