After Chandrayaan-3's success, people in foreign countries are congratulating the common Indians. After G20 too, the manner in which India was appreciated has increased the respect that every Indian get: PM

Addressing the BJP karyakartas on the birth anniversary of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed, "I am honored to inaugurate his statue at 'Pt. Deendayal Upadhyaya Park' in Delhi, and it's truly remarkable that we are witnessing this wonderful and happy coincidence moment. On one side, we have Deendayal Upadhyaya Park, and right across stands the headquarters of the Bharatiya Janta Party. Today, the BJP has grown into a formidable banyan tree, all thanks to the seeds he sowed."


“This statue of Deendayal ji will become a symbol of the pledge of ‘Nation First’. This statue will inspire the vision of integral humanism given by Deendayal ji. This statue will remind us of our Antyodaya resolve. This statue will also become a symbol of the fact that we have to always keep political purity alive in the country,” he said after paying floral tribute to the 72-ft tall statue of Deendayal Ji.


Speaking about the principles of Pt. Deendayal Ji, PM Modi remarked, "I consistently encourage our dedicated karyakartas to incorporate Deendayal Ji's seven sutras into their lives. Today, let us once again reflect upon these sutras. These sutras are service, balance, restraint, coordination, positivity, compassion and communication.”


He went on to emphasize, “In all the schemes running in the country today, the spirit of service, coordination and compassion of our karyakartas can further increase their impact. If our karyakartas wholeheartedly connect with the joys and sorrows of the people through a spirit of service, it will provide new vigor to the expansion of these schemes.”


PM Modi said, “Recently, you must have seen on social media that after the success of Chandrayaan-3, people abroad were congratulating common Indians. Even after G-20, the way India has been praised all over the world, the respect of every Indian has increased. And to achieve this position, India did not have to change its identity and its values. Rather, we presented Indian culture to the world with full pride. This is the dream of Deendayal ji, which we are fulfilling today.”


Concluding his speech, Prime Minister Modi remarked, "It is now our duty to elevate our efforts to their pinnacle during this Amrit Kaal. It is our solemn responsibility to construct the golden future for India, a vision cherished by stalwarts like Upadhyaya Ji."
