The Odisha Cabinet on Tuesday passed a resolution congratulating Prime Minister Narendra Modi on completing 25 years of continuous service in public life, during which the country and his home state underwent a transformative transformation.

The Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi discussed Mr. Modi’s contribution to the country as well as to Odisha since he took over as the Prime Minister from 2014.

Congratulating the Prime Minister on behalf of the State Cabinet, Mr. Majhi said, “Under Modiji’s leadership, today’s India has become a completely transformed and new India compared to the India that existed before 2014. In every initiative, Modi Ji has consistently followed the principle of India first.”

“Modiji’s leadership demonstrates the courage to face extraordinary challenges head on. Be it the COVID-19 pandemic, terrorist activities or the geopolitical instability arising across the world due to wars, he has demonstrated firm political and administrative leadership in every situation and kept the country safe. Amidst the instability we have witnessed around the world, he has been able to keep the Indian economy safe and strong,” he pointed out.

Odisha is central to Prime Minister Purvodhiaya’s vision,” added Mr. Majvodhiaya.
