In the evening, PM Modi attended the arati at Dashashwamedh ghat. He is going to address the Chief Ministers of BHP ruled States today.
Points discussed by Modi in his address at the gathering
Destroyers’ energy cannot surpass the energy of India and its devotion !
Every Indian carries unimaginable strength of making the impossible, possible. We are familiar with Tapa and Tapasya. We are ready for any struggle for the country. We can accept any kind of challenges and emerge successfully through them. Destroyers’ energy cannot survive the energy India has and its devotion. Realise that the perspective we have for the world, the same perspective the world has for us.
India is relieving itself from slavery !
Slavery suffered for many years had its toll on us. India had an inferiority complex, but now it is freeing itself from it. New India does not stop at the beautification of Shri Somnath temple, but it is spreading ‘Optical fibre’ for thousands of KMs in the sea. India today, does not stop at the restoration of the Shri Kedarnath temple but preparing itself to send Indians in space on its strength. Along with Prabhu Shriram’s temple in Ayodhya, India is building medical colleges in every District of the country.
Palakhi routes are also taken care of
With the blessings of crores of devotees of Deity Vitthal in Pandharpur, the Palakhi routes of Saint Dnyaneshwar and Saint Tukaram are also being constructed since the last few weeks.
Promise to maintain hygiene, creativity and, self-reliant India and strive incessantly for it
While addressing the gathering after the inauguration, PM Modi asked Indians to give three promises – All Indians will strive for maintaining hygiene, creativity, and self-reliant India.
