Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath celebrated Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, asserting that it has transformed India into a global power over the past decade, marked by the inauguration of an exhibition honoring Modi's achievements. He emphasized India's historical commitment to democratic values, highlighting the principles of inclusivity and well-being for all, rooted in ancient traditions. Adityanath linked these values to Modi's vision of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas', advocating for active public participation in national programs, including environmental initiatives. Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh echoed Adityanath's sentiments, noting that India's democratic ethos pre-dates modern governance, contrasting it with the political paths of neighboring nations. He emphasized that India's ancient democratic values, reflected in texts like Kautilya's Arthashastra, continue to inform its governance today. Celebrations honoring Modi's birthday and India's democratic heritage are set to continue until October 2, promoting civic engagement.
