According to PM Modi, his administration is working to make everyone’s problems seem like they are family.
“The impoverished, farmers, small business owners, and many other segments of society have benefited from the assistance of our government. After everyone else’s optimism fades, Modi’s guarantee starts,” he stated.
The prime minister stated that although the advantages of development were first concentrated in a few number of large cities following independence, his government is now prioritizing the growth of smaller cities, which will bolster the groundwork for a developed India.
Additionally, he exhorted everyone to take advantage of the many government programs.
“The truth is that today’s citizens have taken charge of the Vikas Bharat Sankalp Yatra, despite the fact that Modi launched it. People from different towns or cities take up the lead of the journey when it comes to an end, he explained.

Additionally, in the five states that just held assembly elections—Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana, and Mizoram—PM Modi launched the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra.
The model code of behavior put in place because of the elections caused the launch of the yatra for the five states to be postponed, but it was launched earlier for the remaining states..
Additionally, he spoke with recipients of government programs from other states.
