Union Minister Jayant Chaudhary lauded the President’s address, describing it as a message of solidarity, progress, and development.

“The President gave us a message of solidarity, of taking the country forward and how we can make it a developed country by 2047. There’s a clear vision and a clear path that she laid down. Our democratic institutions are strong. We take pride in them. We have faith in them,” he said.
