NDA Since 2014: Achievements and Democracy
Since 2014, the NDA government has shaped India through the abrogation of Article 370 (2019), the law against instant triple talaq, and the Ram Mandir consecration in Ayodhya (2024). Infrastructure, digital payments, welfare schemes and global visibility have also marked this period.
These achievements deserve recognition—but not immunity from scrutiny.
WHO REALLY BUILDS INDIA?
India’s progress is collective. Businesses, MSMEs, entrepreneurs, workers and taxpayers create jobs, generate value and finance public expenditure. Governments deserve credit for effective policies, but cannot claim sole ownership of national progress.
ACCOUNTABILITY AND DEMOCRACY
Concerns over jobs, economic management and public resources deserve scrutiny. Allegations of institutional bias, restrictions on dissent and threats to constitutional freedoms require transparent answers.
Protests seeking Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation have raised questions about electoral-roll revisions. Allegations of unfair voter-list changes warrant independent investigation. Allegations are not proof, but deserve credible answers.
Media independence matters. Critics say sections of mainstream media favour political narratives over investigative journalism. Not all media are government-controlled, but journalists must be free to question those in power.
DEVELOPMENT NEEDS ACCOUNTABILITY
Article 370, triple talaq and Ayodhya may remain significant parts of the NDA’s legacy. Democracy also requires fair elections, independent institutions, free expression, peaceful protest and equality before the law.
Achievements deserve recognition. Failures demand scrutiny. Constitutional rights must never be negotiable.
