Gurugram (Haryana) [India], October 7 (ANI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 25-year journey as Chief Minister and Prime Minister marked a significant chapter in the history of Indian democracy.

Addressing the 'Viksit Bharat Sankalp Sabha - Seva Jyoti Yatra' in Gurugram, Shah said, “7 October marks a golden and epoch-making day in the history of Indian democracy. Today, an individual born into a family of very humble means, by virtue of his qualities and capabilities, and with the support of crores of people, has set a record of serving continuously for twenty-five years as Chief Minister and Prime Minister; that individual is our PM, Narendra Modi.”
“To commemorate this journey, the 'Seva Jyoti Yatra' has been organised in every district across the country... A group of youths will arrive at the intersection 800 meters from here carrying the 'Seva Jyoti Yatra' torch and will install it there... I urge all of you to join this 'Seva Jyoti Yatra' in the largest possible numbers,” he further said.

"I have never felt that I am alone. There are countless swayamsevaks who are guardians of India’s cultural soul, with one sole purpose: to serve Bharat. They live by this spirit and remind themselves every moment: 'We are sevaks. We are servants of humanity.' I respectfully salute every Swayamsevak and Karyakarta who continues to serve the nation with commitment and devotion," PM Modi said.
