May her blessings be with him so that his resolve to build a developed India is fulfilled,” said Yadav in an official press release.
He said PM Modi’s public service journey represented service, good governance, welfare, development and self-reliance, citing programmes such as Ayushman Bharat, Jan Dhan, PM-Kisan and Jal Jeevan Mission.
The minister said the Centre-state partnership was creating development opportunities in Andhra Pradesh in areas including Amaravati, Polavaram, the railway zone, national educational institutions, industries, defence, drones and solar power.
