It is for the first time that a Government continues to receive immense love from the people even in the third year of its tenure, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi, referring to his rule at the Centre, on Thursday.
“There is no election, no protest, but still you all have come out here in this heat, which shows the immense love towards the Government,” Modi said, addressing a public rally, named Vikash Utsav, at Baleswar.
“By seeing such immense support from people, we get empowered to work more for the people of the country,” he added.
Modi drew a contrast between his approach to governance and how the country was run by previous regimes.
“Earlier Governments would think only they worked for the country and only they could take the country on the path of success, but our Government believes in Jan Bhagidari, where contribution of every citizen is required for development,” he said.
“Our government believes in Sabka Sath-Sabka Vikash (Everyone’s Participation, Everyone’s Development),” he added.
“We don’t want any state or any region in the country to be devoid of development and change. Everyone should get the benefit of development. The focus of every Government scheme should be the poor; we have taken special steps towards eradicating poverty,” he said.
