New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi completed 20 years as the head of a government, including more than 13 years as the Gujarat Chief Minister.
Acknowledging people’s wishes, Modi thanked everyone while addressing an event in Uttarakhand, and said their blessings gave him strength and inspiration to serve to the best of his abilities.
Home Minister Amit Shah, who has been a close aide of PM Modi for more than three decades, said the journey of good governance and development that started on 7th Oct, 2001, when Modi took oath for the first time as the CM, continued uninterrupted.
The Prime Minister worked day and night for the people and the country’s progress, he added.
JP Nadda, BJP president, said: “Modi pulled the country out of an atmosphere of disappointment, and put it on the path of progress.”
“Prime Minster Narendra Modi has completed 20 years of his political life,” union minister for information and broadcasting Anurag Thakur said as he congratulated Modi. “He has served as chief minister, prime minister and a dedicated public servant. He is strong, resourceful and far sighted.”
It was his vision that enabled children and common people to access several services during the Covid-19 pandemic, Thakur added. “He provided 80 crore people with free ration. No other country has managed to do this. India is about reach the 100 crore mark in the Covid-19 vaccination drive… He provides visionary directions and follows up on the process, and that is why he is successful.”AGENCIES
