Union home minister Amit Shah’s tribute to PM Modi, who turns 75 today.
Sept 17 is significant in history for a number of reasons. On this day, artisans and workers across the country joyfully celebrate Vishwakarma Jayanti. Hyderabad was liberated from the cruel Nizam and Razakars on Sept 17. And, on this day was born a statesman who has dedicated his entire life to the service of the nation and its people – our Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This birthday is even more significant, as it marks his 75th year. On behalf of 140 crore Indians, I extend my heartfelt greetings to Modi-ji and pray to the Almighty to bless him with long life, energy and good health to achieve greatness for India.
Having worked alongside PM Modi for decades, I have deeply felt that his personality is beyond that of a politician – it embodies a mission-driven leader dedicated to the nation’s welfare. For him, India’s rise and Indians’ well-being are not just ideals but guiding principles. What makes his leadership unique is his constant focus on ensuring the all-inclusive model of governance. His policies and their implementation always emphasise that no individual or community is left behind in the development journey. For him, governance is not a tool of power but a medium of service. Under his leadership, numerous welfare schemes for the poor have not only been launched but have also achieved their intended goals.
