A day after flagging off the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra in five states, Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Varanasi on Sunday. He is on a two-day visit in his parliamentary constituency to participate in the Yatra programme at Uttar Pardesh’s Barki village.
Interacting with the beneficiaries of the programme, he said: “If 140 crore countrymen take a resolve to make the nation developed, then India will surely become ‘Viksit’ (developed) by 2047.” He also spoke about the need for people to encourage a “spirit” for development, similar to the “freedom fever” that was prevalent during the Independence struggle.
