"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 PM Narendra Modi.
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.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday tried to infuse renewed energy into the country's growth ambitions by giving a new slogan, "We can do it". Celebrating his 25 years as head of the government, Modi gave three big targets, with the huge crowd at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi responding loudly to with "we can do it" every time.
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.
protest movement led to the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan as a Union minister in July. Protesters are back on the streets, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar over the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
