Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi have paid off and the country’s name is now flying high in the world.
“I congratulate the Prime Minister for raising India’s name in the international arena. You will be pleased to know that our Prime Minister is the only leader to have received the highest honors from 29 countries,” he announced while speaking at the inauguration of the Rashtriya Prerna Sthal here on Thursday in presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Rajnath Singh said, “Today, the inflation rate is below 1 per cent. India’s growth rate is above 8 per cent. The entire world listens attentively to what India has to say. Today, this is India’s status in the world.”
“Our PM has done a tremendous job for the villages. He has done it for the poor and farmers. There was corruption in MNREGA. A new bill called “Developed India, Ramji” has been passed in Parliament. Now, instead of 100 days of work, 125 days will be available. Permanent work will be provided in the villages,” he added.
Rajnath Singh, who is also the MP from Lucknow, said, “I congratulate CM Yogi for establishing the Rashtriya Prerna Sthal. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee fought a long struggle to ensure India’s unity and integrity. He sacrificed his life to abolish Article 370. Our PM has fulfilled his dream.”
“Pandit Deendayal, who gave the philosophy of integral humanism, gave the mantra of Antyodaya while worrying about the last person of the society. Deen Dayal Upadhyay presented the biggest philosophical concept in independent India. PM Modi is working on the basis of the ideology he gave. He believed that a person cannot be happy with money. A person should be concerned about his honor and respect. Every person should be educated. Follow God for the happiness of the soul. Wealth for the body. Respect for the happiness of the mind. God is needed for the happiness of the soul. These were his thoughts,” he Singh said.
“Who wouldn’t be impressed by the people of Lucknow, our former Prime Minister, the late Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He visited Pakistan. A woman said, “I’m ready to marry you, but I want Kashmir in return.” Atalji replied, “I’m ready, but I want Pakistan in return.” This was his humorous nature,” he narrated.
Talking about the Prerna Sthal, he said , “PM Modi’s mantra is to honour great men and remember their legacy. We must be proud of them. That is why statues of these three leaders have been installed. All three have worked to give India a new identity”.
