Develop every village, tehsil, district to make India developed by 2047: PM Modi at BJP’s ‘panchayat parishad’ meet
New Delhi, Aug 18 (PTI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday urged BJP’s ‘Zila Panchayat’ members to work to make various development initiatives a mass movement, asserting that “lamp of development has to be lit up in every village, tehsil and district to make India a developed country” by 2047. Addressing virtually a “Kshetriya Panchayati Raj Parishad” of local body members drawn from several states, including Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, he said ‘sabka saath, sabka vikas’ is not merely a slogan for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and they should live it every moment.
The conclave is being held at Dadar and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu where BJP president J P Nadda was also present during the prime minister’s address.
Citing his own experience first as chief minister and then as prime minister, Modi said those serving in different positions at local bodies should take up some work for their villages and districts as a priority and go all out to make it a success by getting people’s support.
