Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Maharashtra) [India], September 17 : Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde commended Prime Minister Narendra Modi under whose leadership the third BJP-led National Democratic Alliance government at the Centre completed its first 100 days in office.
"It is PM Narendra Modi's birthday today. I extend to him greetings on this occasion. May he be blessed with a long life and the strength to serve the nation. PM Modi has brought laurels to the country before the world. That is why, our country is heading towards becoming an economic superpower. From the 11th, PM Modi has brought our economy to the fifth position," Chief Minister Shinde said while speaking to ANI on Tuesday.
Shinde further said that many welfare initiatives for the poor, farmers and women were made in the last 10 years, which could not be done under the previous rule or in 50-60 years.
"Now his resolve is Viksit Bharat 2047. His vision is to take the country's economy to the third position and make it an economic superpower. What could not be done by the opposition in the last 50-60 years, when they were in power? All such decisions for the welfare of poor, farmers and women have been taken in the last 10 years," Shinde said.
He also wished the citizens of Maharashtra on the occasion of Marathwada Liberation Day and said, "To make the union of the country, it was important to merge Hyderabad with it. Therefore, the then Home Minister initiated police action. Several freedom fighters from the Marathwada region sacrificed their lives for the freedom of Marathwada, we pay tribute to them."
"We had our last cabinet meeting here in Sambhajinagar. We made several decisions for the benefit of the people, and they were not just on paper. Several decisions were implemented too."
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and Nationalist Congress Party leader Ajit Pawar credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the nation receiving recognition across the world.
"PM Modi has emphasised infrastructure development in the country. Today, India is recognised in the world and the credit for this goes to PM Modi," Ajit Pawar said.
