‘PM’s Decisions Reflect Mahatma Gandhi’s Ideas’, Says Rajnath Singh

After unveiling the statue, Rajnath Singh said, “It is a matter of great joy that today a life-size statue of Bapu has been unveiled near his mausoleum Rajghat.”

“It is also true that the country and the world needed Bapu’s thoughts as much as he needed them in the twentieth century and his thoughts are equally relevant today in the twenty-first century,” he added.

Rajnath Singh pointed out that Mahatma Gandhi remained away from power throughout his life. He added that it has been almost 75 years since Mahatma Gandhi died but the relevance and influence of his ideas is increasing more than ever.

Rajnath Singh also congratulated PM Modi, who started the cleanliness campaign after forming the government. “Today ‘Swachh Bharat Movement’ has become a mass movement,” he said.

“Through Jan Dhan Yojana, 50 crore bank accounts of the poor have been opened and they have been connected to the economic system of this country. Our government is working towards strengthening the rural economy in the country and meeting the needs of electricity, roads, water, education and health,” Rajnath Singh added.
