PM Modi Completes 25 Years in Public and Political Life, Reaffirms ‘We Will Do It’ Vision

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has completed 25 uninterrupted years in public and political life, marking a significant milestone in his political journey from Gujarat to the highest office in the country.

Modi began his constitutional journey on October 7, 2001, when he took oath as the Chief Minister of Gujarat for the first time. He served as Gujarat Chief Minister for nearly 13 years across three terms before becoming the Prime Minister of India in 2014.

On the occasion, Prime Minister Modi addressed people across 750 districts and highlighted the importance of public service, democratic values and the collective determination to build a developed India by 2047.

Recalling his first day as Gujarat Chief Minister, Modi said he had never imagined that he would reach such a position. He expressed gratitude to the Constitution and democracy of India, saying that the trust and blessings of the people had played the biggest role in his journey.

“Today, whatever I am, wherever I am and whatever responsibility I hold, the greatest contribution is that of the people,” Modi said. He added that the country had given him a great deal and therefore his responsibility towards the nation was equally significant.

‘We Will Do It’ Mantra

Emphasising the vision of a developed India by 2047, Modi repeated the message, “We Will Do It.” He said the country needs the determination and ambition to reach new heights and stressed that limited resources should not restrict the nation’s dreams.

The Prime Minister also spoke about the inspiration he drew from the teachings of personalities ranging from Gautama Buddha to Swami Vivekananda. He said he had never felt alone while serving the nation and acknowledged the support of volunteers and party workers.

Modi described service to humanity, particularly service to the poor and vulnerable, as a responsibility and a core duty.

Tribute to Workers and Volunteers

The Prime Minister paid tribute to every volunteer and party worker, saying the 25-year milestone was not merely an occasion to remember the past but also an opportunity to renew the commitment towards national service.

Earlier in the day, Modi offered prayers at the Sri Vinayak Temple in Delhi and reaffirmed his commitment to serving the nation.

Across the country, programmes under the ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’ are being organised to mark the milestone. His journey from Gujarat Chief Minister to Prime Minister is being highlighted through the themes of service, determination and dedication, with the broader goal of contributing to the vision of ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047.
