Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam today highlighting the true resolve of a representative.

The Prime Minister remarked that as vigilant citizens of the country, it is our duty to ensure record voting to make democracy even stronger.

The Prime Minister wrote on X:

"देश के एक सजग नागरिक के रूप में हमारा कर्तव्य है कि हम लोकतंत्र को और अधिक सशक्त बनाने के लिए रिकॉर्ड मतदान सुनिश्चित करें। इस तरह हम न केवल भारतवर्ष के नवनिर्माण में अपनी सक्रिय भागीदारी निभा सकते हैं, बल्कि एक समर्थ और समृद्ध राष्ट्र की नींव को और मजबूत कर सकते हैं।

राज्ञो हि व्रतमुत्थानं यज्ञः कार्यानुशासनम्।

दक्षिणा वृत्तिसाम्यं च दीक्षितस्याभिषेचनम्॥"

From the perspective of the welfare of the people, continuously uplifting them, faithfully performing duties as a sacred responsibility, ensuring fair judgment, giving generously, treating everyone with equality, and keeping oneself pure, disciplined and dedicated with a consecrated spirit, this is the true resolve of a representative.
