New Delhi: Marking National Unity Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a powerful message warning of “urban Naxals” who, he stated, aim to undermine India’s unity and progress. In tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, whose legacy as the “Iron Man” continues to inspire, Modi announced the start of a two-year celebration for Patel’s 150th birth anniversary.
The Prime Minister highlighted the need for “One Nation, One Election,” arguing that synchronized elections would reduce governance disruptions and financial burdens, fostering a stable environment and continuous development. This initiative, he suggested, would bring cohesiveness to India’s political system, allowing governments to focus on long-term growth.
Modi also appealed for unity, calling on citizens to stay alert against divisive forces that could derail India’s progress. Across India, Unity Day was celebrated with enthusiasm, featuring rallies, parades, and cultural tributes that honored Patel’s role in unifying the nation.
