NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday tried to infuse renewed energy into the country’s growth ambitions by giving a new slogan, “We will do it”. Celebrating his 25 years as head of various governments, Modi gave five big targets to citizens, with the huge crowd at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi responding loudly with “we will do it” every time.
It was 25 years ago that Modi was sworn in as the chief minister of Gujarat for the first time. He took the oath of office on October 7, 2001, succeeding Keshubhai Patel as the state’s 14th chief minister.
On Wednesday, Modi repurposed the day, which was being marked by the BJP and his supporters, into one when the country had to make a fresh resolve.
“Today, at this stage of my journey, I respectfully salute every volunteer and every fellow worker. Friends, today is not just a day for memories. It is a day to fill our resolve with new energy. This is a day to repeat that promise, to express that intention, which says, We will do it. We will do it. We will do it. We will do it,” said Modi.
Modi listed a series of goals, including making India a developed nation by 2047, and listed the big five. Other than Viksit Bharat at 2047, Modi listed the five goals. “Top three economy, Atmanirbhar Bharat, global manufacturing hub, hosting the Olympics, setting foot in space.”
Each time, he called out the goal, and the crowd responded in unison: “We will do it!”
“This energy, this enthusiasm, this self-confidence is extraordinary,” Modi also said.
The moment of the pledges and energy infusion come at a time when analysts say that the Modi government is facing one of its toughest phases.
