Since they came to power in 2014, the National Democratic Alliance government has carried on the work, albeit under a different name, and made significant advances.
How far ahead have we come over the years? And how far are we from achieving this ambitious goal? We discuss it in this Swarajya video.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
