The resolutions outlined by PM Modi in his 110-minute speech also included ending dynastic politics, promoting meritocracy over nepotism in governance, and adopting zero tolerance for corruption. Modi stated that these resolutions are significant for shaping the future of India.

PM Modi's 11 Resolutions

The first resolution urged individuals to fulfill their duties, with Modi stating, "Everyone, whether an individual or the administration, must adhere to their responsibilities."

The second resolution promoted inclusive development under the principle of 'sabka saath, sabka vikas.' The third resolution focused on eradicating corruption, calling for society to reject and socially ostracise corrupt individuals. "There should be no social acceptance of those involved in corruption," Modi asserted.

The fourth resolution of PM Modi was to instill pride in the laws of the country and regulations among citizens that could reflect the aspirations of the nation. The 5th resolution aims to break free from the colonial mindset and bolster pride in the heritage and legacy of India.

Narendra Modi's sixth resolution advocated for ending dynastic politics and prioritising meritocracy over nepotism in governance. In the seventh resolution, he emphasised the importance of upholding the sanctity of the Constitution, urging that it should not be exploited for political gains.

The eighth resolution reaffirmed the government's commitment to preserving reservations for marginalised communities, while strongly opposing any move to introduce religion-based quotas.

The ninth resolution envisioned India as a global leader in women-led development, focusing on gender equality and fostering female leadership. Modi's tenth resolution highlighted the principle of national progress driven by regional growth, underscoring the interdependence between state and national development.

The eleventh and final resolution centered on the vision of Ek Bharat, Shrestha Bharat, aimed at promoting unity and instilling national pride. The prime minister called for collective efforts to realise these resolutions, reflecting the foundational ethos of the Constitution, We the People.

The prime minister emphasised that these resolutions should guide both citizens and the government in building a stronger, more inclusive nation, stressing the importance of collective effort and adherence to constitutional values for national progress.

However, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav labelled these resolutions as "hollow and fake promises."  "Today, we heard the resolution of 11 'jumlas'. Doubling the income of farmers was jumla, providing one crore jobs was a jumla, Agniveer scheme, and GST are also a jumla," Yadav said.
