At the event, the Vice-President released two volumes containing the selected speeches of PM Modi, titled ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas’, covering the fourth and fifth years of the Prime Minister’s second term.

The Vice-President said the two volumes serve as keys to understanding the Prime Minister’s contributions, vision, and dreams for the nation.

Radhakrishnan described PM Modi as “a living inspiration for millions across the country and abroad, who motivates people through his own conduct to give their very best, who has grown from being a representative of the common man to a true people’s leader, whose determination has shown us how the impossible can be made possible, ‘Namumkin ko Mumkin karna, Asambhav ko Sambhav Karna’.”

Highlighting the contents of the books- which include 76 speeches and 12 Mann Ki Baat addresses for 2022-23 and 82 speeches and 9 Mann Ki Baat addresses for 2023-24 compiled into 11 thematic sections each, the Vice-President said they reflect the Prime Minister’s clarity of thought, forward-looking vision, and commitment to inclusive governance.

He also congratulated the Publications Division, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, for the careful selection and elegant presentation of the speeches.

Speaking at the event, the Vice-President also extended warm greetings to citizens on the auspicious occasion of Navratri and noted that this was his first public function after assuming office.

The Vice-President observed that a decade ago, India was considered among the Fragile Five economies.

“Today, India has proudly grown as the fourth largest economy in the world and is poised to soon become the third largest,” he said.

The Vice-President underlined that this is not merely an economic achievement but the fruit of national discipline, self-reliance, and the spirit of Rashtra Pratham (Nation First) that guides the country’s development journey.

It is heartening, Radhakrishnan said, “To see the dream of a Viksit Bharat shining in the eyes and the principle of Rashtra Pratham echoing in the heart of every citizen”.

He expressed confidence that these volumes will help readers understand the strength and aspirations of a ‘New India’ and inspire them to remain committed to their duties during this Amrit Kaal, leading to Viksit Bharat by 2047.
