“Entire country is ‘Rammay’…Lord Ram also symbol of good governance”: PM Modi in Andhra Pradesh

PALASAMUDRAM (ANDHRA PRADESH): Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated on Tuesday that the nation is deeply religious ahead of the Pran Pratishtha event at the Ayodhya temple on January 22. He also noted that Lord Ram is a symbol of good governance in society and that his influence extends well beyond devotion. The Prime Minister expressed optimism that NACIN will expand the scope of good governance and advance trade and commerce in India during the official opening of the National Academy of Customs, Indirect Taxes, and Narcotics' new campus. The prime minister declared that the entire nation is "Rammay" throughout his speech, which included multiple allusions to the Ramayana. The whole nation is called Rammay and is devoted to Lord Ram, yet the scope of Lord Ram's existence, his source of inspiration, and his faith go far beyond devotion. "Lord Ram is a representation of socially responsible governance, and your organisation may find great inspiration in him," he remarked. The prime minister also mentioned his earlier in the day visit to the Veerbhadra Temple in the Lepakshi region of the state, where he claimed to have heard passages from the Telugu version of the Ranganatha Ramayan. He mentioned that many think that somewhere around here, Lord Ram had a conversation with Jatayu. "You are aware that I am performing an 11-day special ritual in front of Pran Prathistha at Ayodhya. I consider myself fortunate to have visited the temple at this fortunate time," the PM remarked.It is believed that Jatayu fell at Lepakshi after suffering severe injuries at the hands of Ravan, who had kidnapped Sita. It's also reported that Jatayu informed Lord Ram that Sita had been taken south by Ravan and that Lord Ram had afterwards bestowed moksha upon her. On January 22, there will be a Pran Pratishtha ceremony for Ramlala at the Ayodhya temple. According to PM Modi, NACIN ought to give India access to a cutting-edge trade and commerce ecosystem. In order to establish India as a significant global trading partner, he added, amicable conditions must be created. This includes facilitating business dealings with taxes, customs, and drugs. "We ought to fund social welfare with the money raised through taxation. India's tax system was once very convoluted. We introduced transparency and a distinctive tax structure to the nation with the GST. We started a system of anonymous tax assessments. The amount of taxes collected has increased to an unprecedented degree as a result of all these initiatives. The collections are held in the State treasury and given back to the public through a variety of programmes," he stated.

He claimed that people who denied local bodies funding while they were in power were now politicising the matter and calling for a return to the previous state of affairs, but "we will not allow that." "I wish to inform my colleagues who served as panchs, sarpanches, and ULB representatives that the administration has begun the process of reserving seats for other backward classes, as required by the constitution following the enactment of the State Reorganisation Act."I want to reassure you that ULBs and Panchayat elections would undoubtedly be held in Jammu and Kashmir following the conclusion of this exercise. Here, Sinha stated, "I want to state that they will undoubtedly be held. Speaking to a crowd, he had just opened a stadium in the Baramulla area of north Kashmir that bears the name of General Bipin Rawat, the nation's first chief of military staff. People are aware of their objectives, according to Sinha, who said that some were engaging in political posturing due to the votes' prolonged delay. Politics is being played by some on the topic. People who strangled Panchayats and ULBs are now beginning to recall them. I don't want to say anything, but I believe that everyone in this room is well aware of those individuals' identities and motivations.He declared, "I want to assure you that we will not allow Panchayats to return to the same situation and that everything should happen through them." He urged everyone to take part in Republic Day ceremonies and fly the tricolour proudly, especially the younger generation. "I implore you to participate heavily in the 'Jhanda Ooncha Rahay Hamara' initiative. "I desire for Tiranga to fill the skies above Baramulla," he declared.

India Is Now Seen As ‘Strong And Powerful’ Nation: Rajnath Singh

LUCKNOW, Jan 16: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh claimed on Tuesday that the belief that India was a weak nation had changed during the last nine years, attributing this to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and asserting that the country is now regarded as "strong and powerful." Speaking during the "Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra" in his parliamentary district, the home minister stated that the global view of India has now shifted. "Today, nobody views India as weak. We are now seen as a formidable nation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi deserves all the credit for this, Singh stated."No power in the world can dare to show eyes to us when the country and countrymen are strong," he continued. According to Singh, this is the first time a government has knocked on people's doors in post-independence India to make sure they take advantage of various assistance packages. "If someone who qualifies for the schemes is not receiving benefits, our prime minister is quite concerned and anxious. He used to ask us to make sure our constituency's beneficiaries were reached by the programmes," he continued. Singh stated that when Modi took office as prime minister, India's economy was ranked 10th in the world; it is currently ranked fifth.Economists believe this is a result of Modi's appeal. If everything proceeds as planned, the Indian economy would rank in the top three by 2027 and will be the strongest by 2047, the speaker continued.
