Independence Day Speech: PM Narendra Modi congratulates countrymen for forming a strong, stable government after three-decade of uncertainty

Indian PM Narendra Modi on Tuesday addressed the nation on Independence Day when he praised the countrymen for forming a strong and stable government after three decades of uncertainty, instability and political compulsions.

He said that the country has such a government today which is devoting every moment of the time and every penny of the people's money for the balanced development of the country, for 'Sarva Jan hitay, Sarva Jan sukhay'.

The Prime Minister took pride when he said that the government linked to just one yardstick, that is, ‘Nation First’.

Every decision taken by the Government is in this direction, he added.

Modi called the Bureaucracy his hands and feet, who are working in every corner of India, and have 'performed to transform’.

“And that's why this period of 'reform, perform, transform' is now shaping the future of India. And we are promoting those forces within the country, which are going to strengthen the foundation of the coming thousand years,” he said.

Speaking about how India showed the light during the dark times of the Corona pandemic, he said the government created a separate Ministry of AYUSH and today Yoga and AYUSH are making waves in the world.

"After India braved Corona, the world is looking for holistic health care, which is the need of the hour," he added.

Referring to the separate Ministry for fisheries, animal husbandry and dairy, the Prime Minister called them crucial contributors and pillars of the government and the country’s economy.

The new Ministry is playing an important role so that no one from the society and that class is left behind in availing the benefits announced by the government, he added.
