Goa CM Sawant Flags Off Seva Jyoti Yatra for PM Modi
Goa CM Pramod Sawant flags off the Seva Jyoti Yatra to mark 25 years of PM Modi's public service and his journey of development.
In a significant move to celebrate a milestone in Indian politics, Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Wednesday flagged off the Seva Jyoti Yatra. The yatra is being organized to commemorate 25 years of service, dedication, and welfare under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Celebrating 25 Years of Public Service
The Seva Jyoti Yatra marks a historic period of governance, tracing the journey of Prime Minister Modi from his tenure as the Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2001 to his consecutive terms as the Prime Minister of India since 2014. Speaking at the event in Sankhali, Goa, CM Sawant highlighted the Prime Minister's evolution from a grassroots karyakarta (party worker) to the leader of the nation.
Sawant emphasized that the Prime Minister's leadership has been defined by the vision of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas. He noted that the yatra is not just a celebration but a resolve to strengthen Swayampurna Goa and contribute to the overarching goal of achieving a Viksit Bharat by 2047.
A Milestone of National Significance
The date, October 7, holds immense importance as it marks the anniversary of the Prime Minister first assuming elected office as the Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2001. To mark this occasion, PM Modi performed rituals and offered prayers at the Shri Vinayak Temple in the national capital, seeking prosperity and well-being for the citizens of India.
The milestone has drawn widespread recognition from across the political spectrum:
- The Union Cabinet passed a resolution formally congratulating the Prime Minister on his 25 years of continuous leadership.
- Defence Minister Rajnath Singh described the journey as synonymous with national service and good governance.
- Home Minister Amit Shah recalled the transition from the Gujarat Chief Minister's office to the Prime Minister's office, highlighting a legacy of development.
- Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman pointed out the Prime Minister's rise from a grassroots worker to the national leader without any dynastic background.
- Union Minister Piyush Goyal praised the inclusive development and resolve that has defined his tenure.
As the Seva Jyoti Yatra moves forward, it aims to reflect on the decades of governance and the transformative impact of the Prime Minister's initiatives on the nation's welfare and self-reliance.
