On the morning of 21st May, Shri Narendra Modi addressed a special assembly session in the Gujarat State Legislative Assembly, before tendering his resignation from the post of Gujarat Chief Minister. Shri Modi, who was appointed as the Prime Minister of India a day prior, will also resign as a member of the Gujarat Legislative Assembly.

Speaking on the occasion, which also witnessed a farewell for him by the Assembly members, Shri Modi affirmed of how for him MLAs had always been the most important since they reflected the people’s voice. Encouraging his team of MLAs to continue performing excellently, Shri Modi said that Gujarat’s rapid and unstopped development, even in his absence, would be his true success and the hallmark of the State’s success story. He further affirmed that he had complete faith in his team for this.

Calling for the need to institutionalize ideas within the institutional framework, Shri Modi asserted that this would ensure speedy development for the Nation.

Shri Modi also thanked the Assembly members for their good wishes and said that these were his strength and source of encouragement to work for the Nation. He also stated that despite him not speaking much in the past Assembly sessions of the State, he was glad that he could listen to every member and address their concerns. “I may not have spoken much in the House but I made it a point to hear each and every member also on the opposition,” said Shri Modi.

Speaking on the occasion, Gujarat Assembly speaker Shri Vajubhai Vala expressed keenness on the replication of the Gujarat model across the Nation, and affirmed of complete support from Gujarat towards this. He also spoke of the strong association shared between Shri Modi and Shri Shankersinh Vaghela, whereby both were Swayamsevaks from the Sangh and shared similar roots.

Recalling the political fervour during early days, Leader of Opposition Shri Shankersinh Vaghela commended Shri Modi’s resolute spirit to live for the country and single-mindedly work for its progress. He spoke of how the BJP’s magnificent rise from being a party with merely 2 seats in 1984 to emerging as the single party with 284 seats in 2014, was predominantly due to Shri Modi’s promising efforts for the people and the Nation.

Finance Minister Shri Nitin Patel spoke of the revolutionary initiatives taken by Shri Modi for the development of the state and the welfare of its people, and also stated of how the Nation was keenly looking forward to imbibing the innovative and effective initiatives of Shri Modi.

Revenue Minister Smt. Anandiben Patel applauded the decision-making ability and foresightedness of Shri Modi and spoke of how, previously defunct sectors like textiles, got a revival and other fledgling sectors got a major boost, under Shri Modi’s able leadership.

Shri Amit Shah said that under the BJP’s rule, and under the stellar leadership of Shri Modi, development has reached every corner of the society. With special emphasis on villages, agriculture, education and health, and due importance given to the development of the tribal community and the Dalits, the State had emerged as a model state, with a good law and order scenario that ensured the safety and security of every citizen. He also stated that under the Prime Ministership of Shri Modi, the Nation’s Federal structure will get a new dimension with his concept of Team India, and the country will reach the pedestal of Vishwa Guru.

Minister Bhupendrasinh Chudasama recalled Shri Modi’s steadfast determination to serve the society during his early days as an organisation worker and conveyed good wishes so that he may successfully replicate Gujarat’s success story for India too.


Gujarat MLA Shri Balvantsinh Rajput conveyed his best wishes and stated that he looked forward to India prospering the same way as Gujarat, under the leadership of Shri Modi.

PM Modi’s remarks at the BRICS session: Environment, COP-30, and Global Health
July 07, 2025

Your Highness,
Excellencies,

I am glad that under the chairmanship of Brazil, BRICS has given high priority to important issues like environment and health security. These subjects are not only interconnected but are also extremely important for the bright future of humanity.

Friends,

This year, COP-30 is being held in Brazil, making discussions on the environment in BRICS both relevant and timely. Climate change and environmental safety have always been top priorities for India. For us, it's not just about energy, it's about maintaining a balance between life and nature. While some see it as just numbers, in India, it's part of our daily life and traditions. In our culture, the Earth is respected as a mother. That’s why, when Mother Earth needs us, we always respond. We are transforming our mindset, our behaviour, and our lifestyle.

Guided by the spirit of "People, Planet, and Progress”, India has launched several key initiatives — such as Mission LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment), 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' (A Tree in the Name of Mother), the International Solar Alliance, the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, the Green Hydrogen Mission, the Global Biofuels Alliance, and the Big Cats Alliance.

During India’s G20 Presidency, we placed strong emphasis on sustainable development and bridging the gap between the Global North and South. With this objective, we achieved consensus among all countries on the Green Development Pact. To encourage environment-friendly actions, we also launched the Green Credits Initiative.

Despite being the world’s fastest-growing major economy, India is the first country to achieve its Paris commitments ahead of schedule. We are also making rapid progress toward our goal of achieving Net Zero by 2070. In the past decade, India has witnessed a remarkable 4000% increase in its installed capacity of solar energy. Through these efforts, we are laying a strong foundation for a sustainable and green future.

Friends,

For India, climate justice is not just a choice, it is a moral obligation. India firmly believes that without technology transfer and affordable financing for countries in need, climate action will remain confined to climate talk. Bridging the gap between climate ambition and climate financing is a special and significant responsibility of developed countries. We take along all nations, especially those facing food, fuel, fertilizer, and financial crises due to various global challenges.

These countries should have the same confidence that developed countries have in shaping their future. Sustainable and inclusive development of humanity cannot be achieved as long as double standards persist. The "Framework Declaration on Climate Finance” being released today is a commendable step in this direction. India fully supports this initiative.

Friends,

The health of the planet and the health of humanity are deeply intertwined. The COVID-19 pandemic taught us that viruses do not require visas, and solutions cannot be chosen based on passports. Shared challenges can only be addressed through collective efforts.

Guided by the mantra of 'One Earth, One Health,' India has expanded cooperation with all countries. Today, India is home to the world’s largest health insurance scheme "Ayushman Bharat”, which has become a lifeline for over 500 million people. An ecosystem for traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, and Siddha has been established. Through Digital Health initiatives, we are delivering healthcare services to an increasing number of people across the remotest corners of the country. We would be happy to share India’s successful experiences in all these areas.

I am pleased that BRICS has also placed special emphasis on enhancing cooperation in the area of health. The BRICS Vaccine R&D Centre, launched in 2022, is a significant step in this direction. The Leader’s Statement on "BRICS Partnership for Elimination of Socially Determined Diseases” being issued today shall serve as new inspiration for strengthening our collaboration.

Friends,

I extend my sincere gratitude to all participants for today’s critical and constructive discussions. Under India’s BRICS chairmanship next year, we will continue to work closely on all key issues. Our goal will be to redefine BRICS as Building Resilience and Innovation for Cooperation and Sustainability. Just as we brought inclusivity to our G-20 Presidency and placed the concerns of the Global South at the forefront of the agenda, similarly, during our Presidency of BRICS, we will advance this forum with a people-centric approach and the spirit of ‘Humanity First.’

Once again, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to President Lula on this successful BRICS Summit.

Thank you very much.
