The political landscape in India is witnessing a significant campaign aimed at celebrating Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 25 years in public service. This initiative, known as the Seva Sankalp Abhiyaan, was launched from Modi’s birthplace, Vadnagar, in Gujarat, coinciding with his 76th birthday. Modi’s political journey began on October 7, 2001, when he first assumed the role of Gujarat Chief Minister, marking the start of a quarter-century in public office.
A central aspect of this campaign is a motorcycle rally, which was flagged off by Union Home Minister Amit Shah from Vadnagar to Varanasi. Simultaneously, a parallel rally commenced from Varanasi to Vadnagar, initiated by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. Both rallies are integral components of the broader campaign to commemorate Modi’s political contributions and public life.
The rallies are expected to draw participation from approximately 300 bikers each, who will traverse multiple states and villages. The two journeys will culminate on October 7, symbolically marking the anniversary of Modi’s first day as Chief Minister. The aim of these rallies is to highlight Modi’s extensive political career and introduce younger generations to his work and legacy.
Home Minister Amit Shah emphasized the importance of the campaign, stating that it seeks to bring attention to Modi’s public life and achievements. He noted that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its National Democratic Alliance (NDA) allies are committed to spreading the significance of this milestone across the nation.
