“We Will Do It”: PM Modi Marks 25 Years of Service with Bold Vision
Prime Minister Narendra Modi marks 25 years of service with a 'We Will Do It' mantra, aiming for a Viksit Bharat by 2047.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday marked a historic milestone, completing 25 years of continuous service as a head of government. The milestone traces back to October 7, 2001, when he first took the oath as the Chief Minister of Gujarat. To celebrate this journey, the BJP organized the 'Seva Jyoti Yatra' at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi.
The 'We Will Do It' Mantra
Addressing the gathering, Prime Minister Modi introduced a powerful new mantra to galvanize the nation: "We will do it." This sentiment, he stated, encapsulates the enthusiasm required to propel India to unprecedented heights. He linked this resolve to several key national goals, including:
- Achieving a Viksit Bharat by 2047
- Becoming one of the top 3 economies in the world
- Building an Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-reliant India)
- Establishing India as a global manufacturing hub
- Hosting the Olympics
- Advancing further into space exploration
"The enthusiasm and zeal needed to take India to new heights conveys just one message: we will do it," the Prime Minister declared.
Lessons from Hardship and Triumph
Reflecting on his long journey, the Prime Minister credited various life-changing events for shaping his leadership and perspective. He noted that the 2001 Bhuj earthquake taught him the importance of remaining steadfast during reconstruction efforts. He also cited the Chandrayaan mission as a lesson in rising from failure, and the COVID-19 pandemic as a period that highlighted the vital importance of the nation's collective consciousness.
He further acknowledged the role of the media in inspiring him to move forward despite various bitter-sweet experiences encountered throughout his career.
Devotion Through Action
Describing his approach to governance, PM Modi emphasized that his work is not merely a responsibility but a form of devotion to the country. He spoke of his philosophy of continuous action, stating that his focus remains on performing his duties with full capacity and without pause.
"My right is to my action, so I consider action to be my duty... Action for the country, action for the countrymen," he remarked, invoking the sentiment of Ma phaleshu kadachana.
National Leaders Pay Tribute
The Prime Minister received widespread wishes from across the country's leadership. President Droupadi Murmu lauded his steadfast commitment to the well-being of the people, noting the visible transformation in the lives of millions through improved access to housing, healthcare, and digital infrastructure. She remarked that the world now looks towards India with renewed respect and confidence.
Vice President CP Radhakrishnan also offered his congratulations, noting that Modi's journey as Pradhan Sevak has transformed the vision of inclusive development into a nationwide mission. He highlighted the significant achievement of liberating 25 crore people from extreme poverty under his leadership.
