It was necessary to come to Odisha, so Trump was refused; PM Modi told the reason for not going to America

This is the anniversary of the establishment of good governance – PM Modi

While addressing the public meeting, PM Narendra Modi said, ‘Today 20 June is a very special day. Today the first BJP government in Odisha has successfully completed one year. This anniversary is not just of the government; it is the anniversary of the establishment of good governance. This one year is dedicated to public service and public trust. I heartily congratulate the people of Odisha. I also congratulate Chief Minister Mohan Majhi and his entire team.’

‘Odisha is a shining star of India’s rich heritage’

During this, PM Modi said – Odisha is not just a state, it is a shining star of India’s rich heritage. For centuries, Odisha has enriched Indian civilization and culture. That is why today when the mantra of ‘development and heritage’ is becoming the basis of India’s progress, the role of Odisha has become even more important. In the last one year, Odisha has truly adopted and embraced this mantra of both development and heritage.

PM Modi told why he rejected Trump’s invitation

Prime Minister Narendra Modi mentioned his foreign trip during this time. He said- Just two days ago, I was in Canada for the G7 summit. During my visit, US President Donald Trump called me. He said, ‘Since you are already in Canada, why don’t you come to Washington? Let’s have a meal and talk.’ He extended a warm invitation. I respectfully told the President of the United States, ‘Thank you for your invitation, but it is necessary for me to visit the holy land of Mahaprabhu.’ And so, I humbly declined his offer, because your love and devotion towards Mahaprabhu drew me to this holy land.’

During this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, ‘It is a happy coincidence that when the BJP government of Odisha is completing its one year, all of you are busy preparing for the Rath Yatra of Lord Jagannath ji. Mahaprabhu is our idol as well as our inspiration and with the blessings of Mahaprabhu, the issues related to the Shri Mandir have also been resolved… As soon as the government was formed here, all the four doors of the Shri Mandir were opened, the treasure house of the Shri Mandir has also been opened and this is not a matter of political victory or defeat, this is an act of respecting the faith of crores of devotees.’

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, ‘Fulfilling the dreams of tribal friends, giving them new opportunities, reducing difficulties from their lives, is the priority of our government. Therefore, for the first time two very big national schemes have been made in the country for tribal development. More than 1 lakh crore rupees are being spent on these two schemes. The first scheme is ‘Dharti Aba Janjati Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan’. It is named after Birsa Munda ji. Under this, development work is being done in more than 60,000 tribal villages across the country. Here in Odisha too, houses are being built for tribals, roads are being built, electricity and water facilities are being made. Here in 11 districts of Odisha, 40 residential schools are also being built. The central government is also spending hundreds of crores on this. The second scheme is named ‘PM Jan-Man Yojana’. The inspiration for this scheme has come from the land of Odisha. The country’s first tribal woman President, Honorable Draupadi Murmu, daughter of Odisha, has guided us for this scheme.
