To fulfill the pledge of a developed India by 2047, given by Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, the Bharatiya Janata Party Mandla organised a press conference at the District BJP office under the Self-Reliant India Resolution Campaign. Cabinet Minister, Sampatiya Uikey, MP, Faggan Singh Kulaste, BJP District President, Prafull Mishra, District Panchayat President, Sanjay Kushram, BJP District Vice President, Jaydutt Jha, and District General Secretary, Naresh Chandraul graced the event. Addressing the press conference on this occasion, Cabinet Minister, Sampatiya Uike said that, “Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has pledged to make the country a developed India by 2047, and the only way to achieve this goal is to build a self-reliant India. Swadeshi is a powerful means to achieve self-reliance. Every home is Swadeshi, every person is Swadeshi—this is our mantra and our strength.

 

She said that Swadeshi is not just an economic concept, but a symbol of our culture, soul, and identity. When our farmers, artisans, small traders, and industrialists adopt Swadeshi, they not only express respect for the country but also make a significant contribution to building a self-reliant India. Uikey explained that central government initiatives like Make in India, Start-up India, and Digital India are the culmination of this vision, leading the country towards a developed India.” Member of Parliament, Faggan Singh Kulaste said, “Self-reliant India is not a slogan, but a commitment to nation-building. We must abandon the competition for foreign goods and connect with our own products and our soil. Swadeshi is our self-respect and is the foundation of a self-reliant India.”

 

He said that India’s Swadeshi tradition is not a new idea. In the early 20th century, the Swadeshi movement, in protest against the partition of Bengal, gave the country a message of unity and self-respect. Prime Minister, Modi is carrying forward this ideology in a modern form. Kulaste said that India’s strength, culture, and industrial efficiency are the foundation of a self-reliant India. He said that the message of “Vocal for Local” should reach every citizen so that every person, every village and every home in India can become a symbol of self-reliance. At the end of the program, District BJP President, Prafull Mishra said that Mandla district is also moving rapidly towards self-reliance. Party workers are active at every level to provide market for local products and employment opportunities to the youth. The program was conducted by District Vice President, Jaidutt Jha and District General Secretary, Naresh Chandraul expressed his gratitude. In the end, all the guests present resolved that in the times to come, the spirit of self-reliant India, Swadeshi India will be spread to every person.
