Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated a motorcycle rally on Thursday, launching the Seva Sankalp Abhiyaan from Vadnagar to Varanasi, in celebration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 25 years in public service. This event, part of a broader campaign, underscores Modi’s political journey, initiated on his 76th birthday from his birthplace, Vadnagar.
The campaign highlights Modi’s tenure, beginning when he took office as Gujarat’s chief minister on October 7, 2001. In addition to the Vadnagar-Varanasi route, a simultaneous rally was flagged off by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, traveling in the opposite direction from Varanasi to Vadnagar. Each rally expects to see the participation of approximately 300 bikers, journeying through multiple states and villages, culminating on October 7.
Amit Shah emphasized that the campaign aims to highlight Modi’s contributions and introduce younger generations to his political legacy. The rallies are a part of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its National Democratic Alliance (NDA) allies’ efforts to bring the significance of Modi’s milestone to a national audience.
