| PM Modi’s Pledge | | | Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reiterated that he would continue to serve the people of India till his last breath. “Jeevan ke antim kshan tak janta ki seva main hi juta rahunga),” PM Modi said while addressing a gathering in Gujarat.
His statement came days after Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s remark triggered a political storm. Without naming anyone PM Modi said that some people wish to see the country in distress and they derive pleasure when the nation faces hardship.
In a democracy, political criticism is both legitimate and necessary. Opposition parties have an important responsibility to question the government, highlight shortcomings and hold those in power accountable. However, criticism should remain focused on policies, governance and public issues rather than descending into personal insults. The dignity of political discourse is essential for maintaining public confidence in democratic institutions.
The Prime Minister’s declaration of serving the people until his last breath also brings into focus the larger question of leadership and responsibility. Public office is not merely a position of authority; it is an obligation towards citizens. The people expect their elected representatives to work tirelessly for development, employment, economic growth, social justice and national security.
India faces numerous challenges that require sustained attention. Rising aspirations among young people, the need for better employment opportunities, agricultural concerns, economic inequalities and the strengthening of public services demand concrete action. Political leaders must ensure that their energies are directed towards addressing these issues rather than engaging in prolonged verbal confrontations.
PM Modi’s emphasis on public service carries particular significance in a country as diverse and complex as India. The success of leadership must ultimately be measured by the improvements it brings to the lives of ordinary citizens. The poor, farmers, workers, women and young people should remain at the centre of every policy decision.
The Prime Minister’s words convey a message of determination and dedication. Ultimately, the highest purpose of politics is to serve the people. If political leaders across the spectrum embrace this principle, the country can move beyond divisive rhetoric and focus on building a stronger, more prosperous and inclusive India. Public service, after all, is not a slogan but a lifelong responsibility. |
