Says Prime Minister inspired citizens to transform resolve into action
Jammu, May 01: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Friday said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has discovered a renewed spirit of confidence, dignity, and progress, with his guidance over the past 12 years inspiring citizens to transform resolve into action and reshape the nation's landscape with development and determination.
Addressing a gathering at the Foundation Day of Gujarat and Maharashtra, celebrated at J&K Lok Bhavan, Jammu, the Lieutenant Governor said that by abrogating Article 370 on August 5, 2019, PM Modi also fulfilled the unfinished dream of Sardar Patel, strengthening the foundation of Ek Bharat, Shreshth Bharat.
Sinha said that PM Modi's tenure has marked a historic milestone, making him India's longest-serving elected Head of Government. "Today, the Indian diaspora across the world is radiating with pride, as Hon'ble Prime Minister has restored the nation's timeless prestige. A new sense of self-respect stirs within every citizen, uniting all sections of society in the shared vision of a developed India by 2047," he said.
The Lieutenant Governor said that Gujarat and Maharashtra are growth engines of the nation and, besides massive contributions to the country's GDP and exports, their social, cultural, and spiritual legacies stand unparalleled. "Gujarat's soil is renowned for nurturing entrepreneurial spirit, zeal, simplicity, and innate warmth, while Maharashtra commands global respect for its enterprise, valour, and spiritual genius. I view both states as engines propelling India's development trajectory forward," he said.
He observed that Gujarat's history brims with countless sons of Bharat Mata who elevated the nation's honour, including Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Sinha said Mahatma Gandhi gifted the nation the philosophy of truth, non-violence, selfless service, sacrifice, love, and tolerance, turning the freedom struggle into a mass movement.
Regarding Sardar Patel, the Lieutenant Governor stated that India's pride as the world's largest democracy is deeply rooted in his vision and ideals. "His unwavering belief in unity amidst diversity stands as our greatest achievement, a testament to his resolute commitment to 'Ek Bharat, Shreshth Bharat'," he said.
The Lieutenant Governor described Maharashtra as the land of industries, spirituality, selfless service, and sacrifice, with icons like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Peshwa Bajirao, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, and Vinayak Damodar Savarkar devoting themselves to Mother India. "At every sacred pilgrimage across India, the name of Ahilyabai Holkar resounds. Her vision and devotion breathed new life into the nation's spiritual traditions and carried them forward with renewed strength," he added.
