‘Your vote will shape the direction of our country’: PM Modi at ‘Namo Navmatdata Sammelan’

Highlighting the significance of each vote in a democracy, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged young voters during the ‘Namo Navmatdata Sammelan’ to recognize the profound impact their votes will have on India’s trajectory towards becoming a ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047.

In a video conference address, the Prime Minister highlighted that the nation’s progress in space, defense, manufacturing, technology, and innovation hinges on the decisions made by the youth.

“As India strives to become a developed nation by 2047, your vote will shape the direction of the country. The future of space exploration, defense capabilities, manufacturing, technology, and innovation depends on your choices”, he stated.

“The responsibility to elect those who will lead the nation during this critical period lies with you. Your one vote is intricately connected to the country’s development,” he further said.

PM Modi underscored the significance of a stable government, stating, “Your one vote will make India the third-largest economy in the world. Your one vote will bring a majority and stable government in India. Your one vote will give more energy to the digital revolution. When there is a stable government in the country, the country makes big decisions and moves forward by solving problems that have been pending for decades.”

“Our majority government ended the decades-long wait in Jammu and Kashmir after revoking Article 370. This is our government which has ended the four-decade wait of the country’s soldiers by introducing ‘One Rank One Pension’. We implemented modern tax systems like GST. Our government ended the wait of the women by enacting the Naari Shakti Adhiniyam,” PM Modi added.

The PM further pointed out India’s commitment to sustainable development, mentioning goals like zero carbon emissions by 2030 for Indian Railways and a net-zero target by 2070.

PM Modi added that the government is working tirelessly to ensure that every dream of youth is fulfilled. “My priority is all youth. I have always believed in the youth of the country the most. We have opened business doors for you by making a start-up policy. We provided the facility to take loans from banks without guarantee under ‘Mudra Yojana.'”

Addressing the issue of ‘Parivaarvad’ (nepotism), PM Modi urged voters to reject parties that still thrive on it.

“Nepotism is a disease that prevents the youth of the country from moving forward. Other youth are never able to move forward in family parties. The thinking of their leaders isanti-youth. That is why you have to defeat such dynastic parties with your votes,” he said.
