New Delhi [India], October 26 (ANI): Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said on Sunday that everyone is inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Mann Ki Baat addresses.
Speaking to reporters after attending an event by Anuvrat Trust here, Gupta stated that PM Modi's conversations remain special and inspiring for the people.
"His conversations are very special and inspiring for the people. Every time he talks about something new, whether it is related to the environment or to taking India forward - everyone takes inspiration from it," the Delhi CM said.
The Prime Minister today morning paid tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, India's first Union Home Minister, describing him as one of the greatest "luminaries" of modern times and saying he made unparalleled efforts for the nation's unity and integrity.
Speaking on the 127th episode of his radio programme Mann Ki Baat, PM Modi said, "Sardar Patel was one of the nation's greatest figures in modern times. His towering personality embodied many qualities. He was an exceptionally bright student, excelling in his studies both in India and Britain. He also became one of the most successful lawyers of his time."
Ahead of the 150th birth anniversary of 'Iron Man of India', PM Modi remembered Patel's achievements, noting that the nation would remain indebted to him for his invaluable contributions as Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister.
"His tenure as the head of the Ahmedabad Municipality was also historic. He accorded top priority to cleanliness and good governance. We will all be forever indebted to him for his contributions as Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister," he said.
The Prime Minister apprised the nation of Patel's contribution to the freedom movement, especially the Kheda Satyagraha of 1918 and the Borsad Satyagraha of 1923, which were against the land tax imposed by the British.
"Inspired by Gandhiji, Sardar Patel dedicated himself completely to the freedom movement. His contributions to numerous movements, from the Kheda Satyagraha to the Borsad Satyagraha, are still remembered today," PM Modi said.
He also reminded the nation of Sardar Patel's contribution in laying a strong foundation for the nation's bureaucratic framework. The PM urged citizens to participate in the Run for Unity being organised across the country to honour Patel on his birth anniversary.
"Sardar Patel also laid a strong foundation for India's bureaucratic framework. He made unparalleled efforts for the unity and integrity of the country. I urge all of you to participate in the Run for Unity, being held across the country on October 31, Sardar's birth anniversary," PM Modi said. (ANI)
