One nation, one Constitution – this spirit has become a reality said Prime Minister Modi . He was speaking from the red fort on the eve of 73rd Independence day.
He said India is proud of these achievements.
GST brought to life the dream of one nation, one tax. India has also achieved one nation, one grid in the energy sector. Arrangements have been made for one nation, one mobility card. Today, India is talking about one nation, one election he said.
In the last 70 years, every government at the centre and the various states, irrespective of which party they belonged to, have worked for the welfare of the people. It is unfortunate, however, that so many people lack access to water even 70 years after Independence. Work on the Jal Jeevan Mission will progress with great vigour in the years to come Modi stated.
The movement towards water conservation has to take place at the grassroots level. It cannot become a mere government programme. People from all walks of life have to be integrated into this movement he explained.
There is one issue I want to highlight today – population explosion. We have to think – can we do justice to the aspirations of our children? There is a need to have greater discussion and awareness on population explosion he opined.
Every effort made to remove corruption and black money is welcome he said. These are menaces that have ruined India for 70 long years. Let us always reward honesty he stated.
