He said, "India is steadily progressing under the current leadership, and the party remains committed to inclusive development."
"India is emerging as a leading global power under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, guided by the principle of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas'," he added.
