Anugola, Oct 7: Sambalpur MP Dharmendra Pradhan joined the ‘Seva Jyoti Yatra’ in Anugola on Wednesday and led a massive foot march organised as part of the ‘Seva Jyoti Sthapana’ programme. The event was organised to mark 25 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s dedicated public service, good governance and development journey.

During the programme, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the people of the country virtually. After listening to the Prime Minister’s address, Pradhan said the ‘Seva Yatra’ that PM Modi began after taking oath as the Chief Minister of Gujarat on October 7, 2001, has today shown a new direction of development to the entire country.

He said the trust and dedication of the people are the Prime Minister’s greatest strength. Pradhan said India has emerged as a self-reliant and strong nation on the global stage by working not merely for personal positions, but with the spirit of ‘Nation First’ and a mission-oriented approach.

‘We Will Do It’ Confidence Mantra
Pradhan said the Prime Minister has given the people a new confidence mantra, “We Will Do It”.

He said building a 'Viksit Bharat' (Developed India) by 2047 and achieving excellence in technology and every other sector is a collective resolve. He said this inspirational message has filled every Indian with renewed enthusiasm.

Pradhan said the completion of 25 years of public service and good governance by the Prime Minister is a matter of pride for all Indians.

He said people must embrace the Prime Minister’s ‘Seva Mantra’ and the spirit of ‘Swadeshi’ to turn the vision of a 'Viksit Odisha' (Developed Odisha) and 'Viksit Bharat' (Developed India) into reality.

On the occasion, Pradhan prayed to Mahaprabhu and Maa Samalei for the Prime Minister’s long life.
