Union Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said the Narendra Modi government will remain committed to building a new, developed and self-reliant India and the country will emerge on the global stage as a leading nation in every field.

Shah also thanked Prime Minister Modi for giving him the opportunity to serve the country and its people for the second consecutive term as a Union cabinet minister.

"Took oath as Union Cabinet Minister in the NDA government led by Modi ji. I express my heartfelt gratitude to PM Shri @narendramodi ji for giving me the opportunity to serve the country and countrymen again," he said in a post on X in Hindi.

"Under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, we will remain committed to building a new, developed and self-reliant India and our country will emerge on the global stage as a leading nation in every field of development," Shah said.

After Narendra Modi was sworn in as the Prime Minister of India for the third consecutive term on June 9, leaders from the BJP-led NDA coalition voiced confidence and enthusiasm for the formation of the Modi 3.0 government, highlighting ambitious goals for India's future.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said that the country will be ranked the third largest economy in the next 5 years.

"Today is a very happy day for us. After 50-60 years today is a historic day because Narendra Modi has become the Prime Minister for the third consecutive time after 60 years. In the next 5 years the goal of making India the greatest economy is going to be fulfilled and the country will be ranked third largest economy. India will develop and move ahead in the next 5 years," Shinde said.

He further emphasized the government's determination to surpass the "400 Paar" milestone in the near future.

The newly elected Union Minister Chirag Paswan credited the Prime Minister for entrusting his party, Lok Janshakti Party (RamVilas), with significant responsibilities, vowing to deliver on the trust placed in him.

"It's a big moment but moreover it's a huge responsibility for me. I will focus all my attention and dedicate myself wholeheartedly to fulfilling the immense responsibility entrusted to me by Prime Minister Ji, with complete honesty and hard work, ensuring that I can fulfil it to the best of my ability," Paswan said.

"The credit for this goes to the Prime Minister he had so much faith in a party with a single MP and gave it 5 seats. I have also given them all 5 seats by winning them," he added.
