As part of the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, the ‘Aashirwad Ka Diya’ programme was organised across Haryana on Thursday, during which ministers, legislators and a large number of party workers lit lakhs of diyas, conveying the message of service, values, harmony and human compassion. The glow of the diyas created an atmosphere filled with spirituality and enthusiasm.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel participated in the Maha Aarti at the renowned Shri Jagannath Temple in Ahmedabad and sought the blessings of Lord Jagannath. 

During the second phase of the Samajik Samrasta Mahotsav, 21 Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe families whose homes Governor Shri Acharya Devvratji had visited and with whom he had shared meals during the Gram Kalyan Programme were invited and felicitated at Lok Bhavan.

"Today is the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He has been serving the nation continuously for the past 25 years, first as the Chief Minister of Gujarat and now as the Prime Minister of India. We witnessed the development of Gujarat under his leadership," Murugan said.

Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel on Thursday participated in a ‘Shramdaan’ cleanliness drive at the Vadnagar Bus Port, the birthplace of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as part of the ‘Swachhata Hi Seva’ campaign.
