New Delhi: Amidst the grand celebrations for India’s 76th Independence Day at Red Fort in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid down a roadmap of success for 2047 even as his promises for 2022 lay broken and scattered.
“By the 100th year of Independence, we have to work with the vision of accomplishing what our freedom fighters dreamt of,” Modi said in his address to the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort.
In a word of caution, the Prime Minister said the dreams of the nation would fade away if people indulged in self-praise and kept patting themselves for the achievements in 75 years.
“For the next 25 years, we need to focus on the five resolutions developing India, removing every trace of bondage from our mind, taking pride in our glorious heritage, unity, and fulfilling our duties,” he said.
Where are your last eight years’ promises? ask Congress Hitting out at the Prime Minister, the Congress party said he had let down the country by avoiding the promises made by him in the last eight years.
“What happened to the promises of doubling farmers’ income, giving houses to all, bringing back black money, employment, and giving Rs 15 lakh in every bank account,” Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera took a swipe at Modi while addressing the media at the party headquarters.
