Modi’s 25-Year Journey: A Blend of Heritage and Welfare, says Yogi Adityanath
UP CM Yogi Adityanath highlights PM Modi's 25-year journey of welfare and development at the Namo Seva Ankahi Kahaniyan event.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating that his 25-year journey in public service represents a unique fusion of India's rich heritage and rapid modern development. Speaking at the ‘Namo Seva Ankahi Kahaniyan’ programme held under the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, the Chief Minister highlighted how the Prime Minister's leadership has prioritized welfare for all sections of society.
A Remarkable Milestone in Governance
Addressing the gathering, Yogi Adityanath noted that October 7 will mark a significant milestone: 25 years of uninterrupted public service by Prime Minister Modi. His tenure, which began as the Chief Minister of Gujarat and transitioned to the Prime Minister of India, has been characterized by steadfastness and a commitment to inclusive growth.
"This 25-year journey is a remarkable and commendable combination of India's heritage and development, taking governance to every section of society for public welfare without discrimination," the Chief Minister remarked.
Tribute to National Icons
The event also served as a moment of remembrance for two of India's greatest leaders. Yogi Adityanath paid humble tributes to Mahatma Gandhi and former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri on their birth anniversaries. He described the day as significant for a grateful nation to honor the Father of the Nation and the former Prime Minister.
Transforming Lives Through Welfare
The Chief Minister detailed how the government's initiatives have focused on empowering the most vulnerable members of society. He specifically mentioned the impact of various schemes aimed at:
- Transforming the lives of the youth
- Enhancing the dignity and self-reliance of women
- Bringing prosperity to the farming community
- Improving the living standards of the poor
Yogi Adityanath pointed out that under PM Modi's leadership, India has carved out a new identity and a commanding presence on the global stage. He recalled the challenges faced during the Prime Minister's early tenure in Gujarat following the earthquake and communal unrest, noting how the subsequent focus since 2014 has shifted toward massive infrastructure and social security.
Infrastructure and Social Security Successes
The Chief Minister highlighted several key areas where the government has seen significant growth and expansion, including:
- Social Welfare: Jan Dhan accounts, housing schemes, toilets, Ujjwala, health insurance, and free foodgrain support.
- Infrastructure: The development of highways, expressways, railways, metro systems, and airports.
- Economic Growth: The rise of the startup ecosystem and the expansion of educational and medical institutions.
He emphasized that the Prime Minister's work has never been based on caste, religion, region, or language, but has been dedicated to the service of 140 crore Indians.
Expanding the Reach of 'Namo Seva Ankahi Kahaniyan'
The programme featured a theatrical presentation by artists from the Bharatendu Natya Akademi, which the Chief Minister praised for its ability to make complex facts easily understandable through the medium of theatre.
In a move to make the message more accessible, Yogi Adityanath suggested that the play should be staged across all 825 development blocks and 762 urban local bodies in Uttar Pradesh. He further recommended incorporating regional languages such as Bhojpuri, Awadhi, Braj, and Bundelkhandi, along with local songs, to ensure the performance resonates with audiences in every corner of the state.
