Defence Minister Rajnath Singh praises PM Modi's relentless work ethic and nation-building mission during the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan in Ghaziabad.
In a powerful tribute to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has praised the Prime Minister's relentless work ethic, claiming that PM Modi has not taken a single day of leave in his 25 years of public service. Speaking at the 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan' in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, Singh highlighted how the Prime Minister has transformed the very essence of Indian politics.
A Mission for Nation-Building
Addressing the gathering, the Defence Minister asserted that under PM Modi, politics has transitioned from being a mere tool used to form governments into a dedicated mission for nation-building. He noted that the Prime Minister's dedication began long ago, specifically marking the milestone of his tenure since first assuming office as the Chief Minister of Gujarat on October 7, 2001.
"There is perhaps no Prime Minister in the world who hasn't taken a single day off in a year. In his 25 years as Chief Minister and Prime Minister, Modi ji has not taken a single leave," Singh remarked, emphasizing the Prime Minister's unprecedented level of commitment to the country.
Economic Growth and the Vision for 2047
Rajnath Singh also touched upon India's significant economic strides under the current administration. He noted that India has successfully ascended to become one of the top five largest economies in the world. He further suggested that had it not been for the global crises in West Asia, India's economic standing might have been even higher, potentially reaching the top three spots.
Key highlights of the economic discussion included:
- Current Growth: India's economy continues to show resilience, growing at a rate of 7.4 per cent.
- Global Standing: India is currently ranked among the top five economies globally.
- Viksit Bharat: A strong commitment to achieving the goal of a "Developed India" by the year 2047.
Criticism of the Opposition
The Defence Minister did not shy away from criticizing opposition parties, accusing them of fabricating political issues to gain electoral advantages. He claimed that opposition leaders often resort to street protests and misinformation to create public confusion.
"Today, opposition parties are turning non-issues into issues; they are lying down on the streets merely to create confusion among the public and gain electoral advantage," Singh stated. He added that while the BJP and NDA possess the moral courage to admit mistakes, the opposition relies on repeating falsehoods in hopes that the public will eventually accept them as truth.
Concluding his address, Singh reaffirmed the government's resolve to move forward, stating that the public is capable of distinguishing between truth and rhetoric, and emphasizing that the strength of the nation lies in its resilience and the political empowerment of its citizens, including the farming community.
