“Let us together continue to build a Viksit Bharat,” he said, underlining the importance of sustained public participation in the country’s development journey.
The birthday message connected the public expressions of goodwill with wider themes of service and development. PM Modi’s remarks placed citizens’ participation at the heart of efforts associated with the broader Viksit Bharat vision.
The message therefore combined gratitude for the wishes he received with an appeal for continued engagement in public service and national development.
