Union Home Minister Amit Shah celebrates PM Narendra Modi's 25 years of public service, marking it as a golden era for Indian democracy.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah has described Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 25-year tenure in public service as a transformative chapter in the history of Indian democracy. Speaking at a significant event in Gurugram, Haryana, Shah celebrated the milestone of the Prime Minister's continuous leadership, which spans his time as Chief Minister and his subsequent terms as Prime Minister.
A Golden Era for Democracy
Addressing the 'Viksit Bharat Sankalp Sabha - Seva Jyoti Yatra', Amit Shah emphasized the historic nature of this anniversary. He noted that October 7 stands as a "golden and epoch-making day" for the nation. Shah highlighted the remarkable rise of the Prime Minister, noting that an individual born into a family of very humble means has, through sheer capability and the support of millions, achieved a record of 25 years of continuous service.
"That individual is our PM, Narendra Modi," Shah declared, underscoring the scale of the Prime Minister's impact on the country's political landscape.
The Seva Jyoti Yatra Commemorates Public Service
To honor this quarter-century milestone, the 'Seva Jyoti Yatra' has been organized across every district in India. The initiative aims to commemorate the Prime Minister's journey of service to the nation. During his speech in Gurugram, Shah detailed the symbolic nature of the event, mentioning a group of youths who would carry the 'Seva Jyoti Yatra' torch to a central intersection to install it, serving as a beacon of the journey.
The event in Gurugram saw the presence of several high-profile leaders, including Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini.
PM Modi's Tribute to Grassroots Workers
Earlier in the day, marking his 25 years at the helm of government, Prime Minister Modi addressed the 'Seva Jyoti' program at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi. The Prime Minister took a moment to pay homage to the grassroots workers and swayamsevaks who have supported his journey.
Reflecting on the dedication of party workers, the Prime Minister stated:
"I have never felt that I am alone. There are countless swayamsevaks who are guardians of India’s cultural soul, with one sole purpose: to serve Bharat. They live by this spirit and remind themselves every moment: 'We are sevaks. We are servants of humanity.'"
Modi expressed his deep respect for the commitment of every karyakarta and swayamsevak who works to safeguard the nation's cultural ethos and serves the country with unwavering devotion.
A Timeline of Leadership
The milestone marks a significant timeline in Indian politics:
- October 7, 2001: Narendra Modi began his tenure as the Chief Minister of Gujarat.
- 2014 to Present: He has served three consecutive terms as the Prime Minister of India.
The 25-year journey, beginning in Gujarat and extending to the highest office in the land, marks a period of significant political and administrative continuity in India.
