With the blessings of my countrymen, I am now entering my 25th year as the head of the government. I am grateful to the people of India. During this time, it has always been my endeavor to improve the lives of our people and contribute to the progress of this great country that has raised us all.

All these challenges inspired me and our team to carry forward our resolve to serve the public and rebuild Gujarat with new enthusiasm and hope.

PM Modi remembered his mother
PM Modi wrote in his post that when I took oath to become the Chief Minister of Gujarat, my mother told me that she did not fully understand my work but she only wanted two things. First, I should always work for the poor. Secondly, I should never take bribe. I also told people that whatever work I do, I will do it with good intentions and with the aim of serving the last person.
“The last 25 years have been full of experiences”
PM Modi further wrote that the last 25 years have been full of many experiences. Together we have made a lot of progress in Gujarat. I still remember that when I took over as the Chief Minister, it was believed that Gujarat would not be able to progress. Farmers and common citizens complained of lack of electricity and water. Agriculture was suffering from recession and industries were at a standstill. But all of us together made Gujarat a model of good governance and development.
