Aiming to reach out to the youth, especially the first-time voters, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said each vote shall decide the direction and pace of the country’s development at a time when we are aiming for ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047 and gave his personal guarantee to fulfil young citizens’ aspirations.
While addressing the ‘Namo Navmatdata Sammelan’ via video conferencing, PM Modi sought to crowd source out-of-the-box ideas for nation building from the youth.
PM’s virtual engagement with 50 lakh youth on the 14th National Voters’ Day coincided with the launch of BJP’s Mission-2024 from Western Uttar Pradesh as he inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of projects worth over Rs 20,000 crore and addressed a rally in Bulandshahr – his first public appearance in the state after the consecration ceremony at Ram Temple in Ayodhya on January 22.
The BJP also launched its Campaign Theme for 2024 Lok Sabha Elections at the new voters’ meet. A music video released by the party showcases how Prime Minister Modi has turned the dreams and aspirations of crores of Indians into reality. Its concept revolved around the words: “Sapne Nahi Haqeeqat Bunte Hai, Tabhi Toh Sab Modi Ko Chunte Hai.”
Earlier in his interaction with first-time voters, PM Modi said, “Fulfilling the young generation’s aspirations will be my guarantee. I will also personally meet the youth whose suggestions will be included in BJP’s manifesto,” he said on the eve of the Republic Day.
“You can share your ideas and views with me through NaMo App. I want you to join nation-building even before casting your vote. Tell me what should be there in BJP’s Sankalp Patra, especially for the youth.
I want the youth to guide BJP’s Sankalp Patra,” said Modi,. He was virtually addressing 50 lakh first-time voters simultaneously during the Sammelan organised by the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) in 5,000 locations across the country.
He said it will depend on the youth of the nation where we reach in the next few years in fields like space, defence, manufacturing, technology and innovation.
“Today, when the country is working to become a Viksit Bharat by 2047… The responsibility of what the possibilities will be for you will be on those who will manage the country during this period. In such a situation, the responsibility of making sure that those people are properly elected also depends on your votes,” he said.
“Your one vote and the direction of the country’s development are interconnected,” he added.
Modi asserted that when there is a stable government, it becomes easier for a country to make big decisions.
