State Bureau, Jagran, Lucknow. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said that after independence, a trend had developed that the credit for every positive achievement should go to a single family. His government made the Antyodaya vision of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay its mission, due to which the benefits of the schemes are reaching all the poor without discrimination. Attacking nepotism and appeasement, he said that for decades, power in the country remained confined to a few families.
One family held the country hostage. BJP has ended this thinking and established true secularism by developing everyone without discrimination. The Prime Minister was addressing the people after unveiling the huge statues of Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay and Atal Bihari Vajpayee and offering flowers at the Rashtra Prerna Sthal built on 65 acres in Basant Kunj. Rashtra Prerna Sthal was dedicated to the nation today on the 101st birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
The program started with the chorus singing of the national anthem Vande Mataram. In a public meeting organized at Rashtra Prerna Sthal located on IIM Road, about 12 km from Hazratganj, the Prime Minister said, 'In the politics of appeasement and dynasticism, the poor, Dalits and the person standing in the last queue were pushed to the margins, whereas BJP made service, good governance and development of all, support of all as the basis of nation building.
We have toppled the lamp of Article 370 – Modi
By tearing down the wall of Article 370 and implementing One Nation, One Constitution, we ended the politics which kept dividing the country for the sake of vote bank. He called that only everyone's efforts will prove the resolve of a developed India. This place is a symbol of the ideology which showed India the path of self-respect, unity and service. The statues installed here give the message that every step, every effort and every resolution should be dedicated to nation building. Excited by Modi's address, people were repeatedly chanting Jai Shri Ram, Bharat Mata ki Jai.
The Prime Minister also discussed other achievements of UP extensively. There are Panchayat elections in Uttar Pradesh in the new year and after that assembly elections in 2027. BJP keeps looking for opportunities to convey political message through its events. Narendra Modi also visited the Rashtra Prerna Sthal and Museum built at a cost of Rs 230 crore on about 65 acres of land. In his address that lasted for about half an hour, he expressed pride in being an MP from UP. Said- 'Today I can proudly say that the hardworking people here are writing a new future. Once upon a time UP was known for its poor law and order situation, today it is known for its development and investment. Uttar Pradesh is creating its own identity in 21st century India.
Merry Christmas to the world
Wishing happiness and peace in everyone's life, the Prime Minister wished the country and the world a Merry Christmas. Said-'25th December is a very inspiring day in the history of India. This day is the birth anniversary of Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Mahamana Madan Mohan Malviya and Maharaja Bijli Pasi. Pasi community is proud of the legacy of bravery and good governance of Maharaja Bijli Pasi. In the year 2000, Atal Bihari Vajpayee had issued a postal stamp in honor of Maharaja Bijli Pasi. Finding the Prime Minister among them, the crowd present there was showing respect towards the nation by repeatedly waving the tricolor.
Modi said that Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee had completely rejected the system of two legislations, two marks and two heads. After independence, Jammu and Kashmir remained a challenge to the integrity of the country. BJP is proud that today the Constitution of India is fully implemented in Jammu and Kashmir. He has made Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay's idea of Antyodaya a resolution. The Prime Minister said- 'Crores of Indians have come out of poverty in the last decade. Before 2014, where 25 crore people were connected to social security schemes, today about 95 crore people are covered under the security cover.
Atal Bihari Vajpayee brought good governance to the ground. The foundation of communication revolution, digital identity, roads and connectivity was laid during his tenure. Today India is the second largest mobile manufacturing country in the world and Uttar Pradesh has become the number-one mobile manufacturing state.
BJP also gave national honor to Mulayam Singh
He criticized nepotism. He said, 'Negalism is born out of insecurity, hence attempts are made to minimize the inheritance of others. BJP paid full respect to the martyrs of Sardar Patel, Subhash Chandra Bose, Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar, Birsa Munda, Suheldev and Chauri-Chaura.
The fact that every Prime Minister of independent India is honored in the Prime Minister's Museum is a proof of this thinking. Our government also gave national honors to leaders like Narasimha Rao, Pranab Mukherjee, Mulayam Singh Yadav and Tarun Gogoi. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and others also addressed the program. Governor Anandiben Patel, both Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya, Brajesh Pathak and BJP State President Pankaj Chaudhary and many others were present.
Congratulations to Yogi for building a place of inspiration
The Prime Minister also gave special praise to CM Yogi during his speech. He said that there was a mountain of garbage accumulated on more than 30 acres of land here for many decades, which has been completely eliminated in the last three years. Many congratulations to Yogi ji, workers, artisans and planners for this project. Yogiji made me feel proud. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh also congratulated the Chief Minister for setting up a wonderful place of inspiration in Lucknow.
