Prime Minister Narendra Modi hoisted the flag from the ramparts of the Red Fort for the 11th consecutive time. PM Modi spoke on many topics from the ramparts of the Red Fort, from natural disaster to reforms and governance model. He discussed the population before independence, mentioned independence and expressed the resolve to make India developed by 2047. Highlights of PM Modi’s address.
At the beginning of his address, PM Modi said that due to the natural disaster, the worries of all of us are increasing. Many people have lost their family members and property. The country has suffered losses. Expressing condolences to the victims, he said that the country stands with them in this hour of crisis.
PM Modi said that before independence, every period of slavery of hundreds of years was a period of struggle. Even before the freedom struggle of 1857, there were many tribal areas where the war of independence was fought. 40 crore countrymen showed that passion, showed their strength, kept moving forward with one dream and resolution – of India’s independence. Their blood flows in our veins. 40 crore people had broken the chains of slavery, uprooted the world’s superpower.
He said that if 40 crore people can break the shackles of slavery and can fulfill the dream of freedom, then if 140 crore members of my family take a resolution and set a direction and move ahead, then no matter how many challenges there are, even if there is a need to struggle for resources, we can overcome every challenge and make India prosperous, we can achieve the goal of developed India by 2047.
PM Modi said that there was a time when people were committed to die for the country, today is the time for commitment to live for the country. Commitment to die can bring freedom, while commitment to live can also make India prosperous. Developed India 2047 is not just words in a speech, hard work is being done. We have asked for suggestions from the countrymen.
PM Modi said that crores of citizens gave countless suggestions. Everyone gave suggestions for a developed India by 2047. Some suggested making it a steel capital, some suggested making a manufacturing hub, making our universities global, skilled youth should become the world’s first choice, while some suggested becoming self-reliant in every sphere of life. Some suggested making coarse grains available on every dining table in the world. Many people said reforms in the government were necessary, many said reforms in the judicial system were necessary. Some suggested running a capacity building campaign in governance, while some said that India’s space station should be built soon. Some suggested traditional medicines. People say that there should be no delay now, India should become the third superpower as soon as possible. When the countrymen have so many resolves, our confidence reaches new heights. This confidence comes from experience, this confidence is the result of hard work over a long period of time.
PM Modi said that when it is said from the Red Fort that electricity will be delivered within the time limit, India falls asleep. When electricity reaches 2.5 crore homes, the confidence of the common man increases. An environment of cleanliness is created within the family, it is a symbol of the new consciousness that has come to India. There are three crore families who get water from the tap. Under the Jal Jeevan Mission, water is reaching 18 crore families in a short time. Dalits, victims, tribals, poor brothers and sisters were living in the absence of these things. The efforts we made to fulfill the basic needs have yielded results. We gave the mantra of local for vocal, today an environment of one district one product has been created. India has worked to become self-reliant in the field of energy, without worrying about global warming. This is the country where the tyrannical terrorists used to come and kill us and go away, today the country’s army does surgical strikes, the chest swells with pride.
PM Modi said that when the political leadership has determination, confidence and the government machinery gets together to fulfill it, an environment of status quo had developed in the country. We had to break this mentality of making do with what we have. We did that. The common citizen of the country wanted change, he had a yearning for it. No one gave priority to his dreams and he kept waiting for reforms. We brought big reforms on ground.
