PM Modi reaffirmed his administration’s anti-corruption stance, declaring, “Upon assuming power in 2014, we pledged zero tolerance for corruption. Corruption had infested the nation like termites. Yet, our citizens have endorsed our unwavering stance against corruption.”
He also underscored India’s enhanced global reputation, stating, “India’s credibility has soared globally… Every policy, decision, and action of ours has been guided by the ‘India first’ principle.”
“Our singular focus is ‘nation first’, ‘India first’. Our policies, decisions, and efforts are measured against the ‘India first’ yardstick. For the past decade, our governance has been driven by the motto ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas’. The country has long experienced politics of appeasement; we have adopted ‘santushtikaran’ (satisfaction) over appeasement,” stressed PM Modi.
He assured the citizens, “I promise that we are committed to a developed India and will strive to achieve this goal with utmost dedication and integrity, dedicating every moment to this resolve.”
