In a significant spiritual gesture, Rajya Sabha MP Lingamaneni Ramesh conducted a special Khadgamala Archana at the historic Sri Kanaka Durga Temple on Indrakeeladri, Vijayawada. The prayers were performed in honour of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to commemorate his 25 years of dedicated service in public life.
The ceremony was organized following the directions of Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Jana Sena Party President Pawan Kalyan. The prayers sought the blessings of Goddess Kanaka Durga for the Prime Minister's health, longevity, and the continued strength required to lead India toward the vision of a Viksit Bharat.
Celebrating 25 Years of Public Service

During the rituals, MP Ramesh emphasized the transformative impact of the Prime Minister's leadership on the global stage.
“Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India is emerging as a global leader and gaining special recognition across the world,” Ramesh stated. He noted that the current administration has prioritized various sectors of society, including women, farmers, youth, and employees, ensuring inclusive growth.
Focus on Andhra Pradesh's Development

- The Polavaram Project: A crucial irrigation and power initiative.
- Bhogapuram International Airport: The development of modern aviation infrastructure.
- Connectivity: Rapid progress in national highways and railway networks across the state.
Ramesh expressed that it was a profound privilege to perform the sacred rituals at Indrakeeladri. He prayed that the Goddess would grant the Prime Minister the capabilities to continue his service to the nation and help make India a more prosperous and self-reliant country.
