NEW DELHI:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi
, in his first address to the
PMO officials
after assuming office for the third time, said that his office should be “people’s PMO” rather than “Modi’s PMO,” and that it should serve as a catalytic agent, generating new energy to provide light to the entire system.
“Ten years ago the image in our country was that PMO is a power centre, a very big power centre and I was not born for power.
I do not think of acquiring power. For me, it is neither my wish nor my path that PMO should become a power centre. The steps we have taken since 2014, we have tried to develop it as a catalytic agent,” said PM Modi.
PM Modi expressed his unwavering commitment to the welfare of the nation’s 140 crore citizens, stating, “There is no one in my heart other than 140 crore Indians. They are not just people but a form of the Almighty. When I take any decision in the government, I believe that with this, I have worshipped the 140 crore countrymen.” He emphasized the importance of firm resolve and hard work in achieving the set targets.
PM further said that there should only be one collective goal to make India developed by 2047. “Together we have just one goal -Nation First; just one intention –
2047 Viksit Bharat
. I have said this publically, mera pal pal desh ke naam hai. I have also promised the country – 24 X7 for 2047. I have such expectations from the team…fulfilling the task on time is a good thing, not complete, I still want to look for value addition…if we work with this aim, I am fully aware that we can fulfil our dreams and aspirations,” said PM Modi.
“We are not the people for whom office starts at this time and ends at this time…we are not bound by time, we have no limits to our thinking…. Those who are beyond this are my team and the country trusts that team,” he added.
The oath ceremony, which took place at the
Rashtrapati Bhavan
on Sunday, was attended by leaders from the neighboring countries, with President Droupadi Murmu administering the oath of office to the Prime Minister and his team of ministers.
