Not Seeking 3rd Term For Political Gains, But For Benefit Of India: PM Modi

NEW DELHI, Feb 18: In order to secure the BJP's return to power in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday urged party members to work with fresh vigour and confidence over the next 100 days in order to engage with new people and earn their trust. Speaking at the BJP national conference in this place, Modi stated that in order for India to become a developed nation by 2047, the people must now dream big and make big decisions."These next five years will be very important." In order to achieve "Viksit Bharat," we must make a major leap. The prime minister stated, "The first objective is to assure the BJP's strong numerical return to office. It is Modi's dream, he continued, the dream of crores of women, the impoverished, and young people. The prime minister declared, "We made efforts to improve living standards of the poor and middle class, and we rid the country of mega scams and terror attacks."Modi declared that his goal in running for a third term was to serve the country, not to bask in power. "Building homes for crores of people would not have been possible if I had thought of my home," he remarked. He said that lifting 25 crore people out of poverty and ten years of flawless government were extraordinary accomplishments. A top leader once advised me to take a break because I had completed my work as PM and CM. However, I work for "rashtraniti," not "rajneeti," he remarked.The prime minister declared that he is inspired by and lives by the principles of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. I don't live for my personal fulfilment. It is not for political purposes that I support the BJP for a third term; rather, it is for the good of India. I commit my efforts to the people of India. My pledges are to the dreams of Indians," Modi declared. He claimed to be the first prime minister to address the subject of restrooms and to talk about women from the Red Fort having dignity. According to Modi, the BJP is uniting the might of young people, women, farmers, and the youth to create a "Viksit Bharat."He remarked, "We asked those who no one acknowledged, and not only that, we have also worshipped them." The prime minister stated that "our mothers, sisters, and daughters" will have many options in the future. He also mentioned that 15,000 women's self-help organisations would receive drones as part of Mission Shakti, which aims to establish a comprehensive ecosystem for the country's women's protection and empowerment. "Now, 'Drone Didi' will introduce modernity and a scientific temperament to farming." The prime minister declared, "Now, three crore women in the nation will be made 'Lakhpati Didis'."Additionally, he said that the BJP built the Ram temple in Ayodhya, ending the people's five-century wait. In Pavagadh, Gujarat, the religious flag has been raised after 500 years. We inaugurated the Kartarpur Sahib Highway after 70 years. The nation is no longer subject to Article 370 after seven decades of waiting," the prime minister declared. [caption id="attachment_11237" align="alignnone" width="300"] Not Seeking 3rd Term…
