LS polls On eve of LS poll dates' announcement, PM Modi lists achievements, gratitude in open letter to citizens
New Delhi/IBNS: Ahead of the announcement of the Lok Sabha election dates, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has addressed the citizens in an open letter where he listed some of the historic decisions taken by his government, including the abrogation of Article 370 and the implementation of GST, and expressed his gratitude for the people's support.
Pointing out that his partnership with the people is "at the threshold of completing a decade" he sought suggestions to help fulfill the resolve of a Viksit Bharat, or developed India.
Addressing citizens as "my dear family member", the Prime Minister said the trust and support of 140 crore Indians inspire and motivate him.
Stressing that his government has made sincere efforts to improve the quality of life of the poor, farmers, youth, and women, he said its biggest achievement has been the transformation in people's lives over the past 10 years.
"The success of efforts such as pucca houses through Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, access to electricity, water and LPG for all, free medical treatments through Ayushman Bharat, financial help to farmers, assistance to women through Matru Vandana Yojana and many more has been possible only due to the trust that you have placed in me," the Prime Minister wrote.
Emphasising that India is moving forward with a focus on both tradition and modernity, PM Modi said the country has seen both "unprecedented construction" of next-generation infrastructure and a "rejuvenation of our rich national and cultural heritage".
"It is a measure of your trust and support that we could take several historic and major decisions like implementation of GST, abrogation of Article 370, new law on Triple Talaq, Nari Shakti Vandan Act to enhance women's participation in the Parliament, the inauguration of a new Parliament building and strong steps against terrorism and Left-Wing Extremism," the PM wrote.
"The beauty of democracy lies in Janbhagidari or public participation. It is your support that gives me the immense strength to take bold decisions for the nation's welfare, draw up aspirational plans and implement them smoothly. I need and indeed, look forward to your ideas, suggestions and support as we work to fulfil the resolve of building a Viksit Bharat. I am confident that we will continue to take our nation to great heights together," he said.
