New Delhi, Oct 7 (PTI) Prime Minister Narendra modi on Wednesday commended the leaders and workers of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) for carrying sacred waters from the Krishna and Godavari rivers to Varanasi, and termed the gesture very touching.
The waters of the two rivers were brought by the TDP workers on motorcycles as part of the “Seva Sankalp Yatra” marking Modi’s completion of 25 years as a head of government.
The prime minister said over the last few days, people from Andhra Pradesh embarked on a motorcycle “yatra” from Tirupati to Varanasi, emphasising “seva” (service) and “sushasan” (good governance). Their gesture of carrying sacred waters from the Krishna and Godavari to Varanasi is also very touching, he added.
“I compliment the team of TDP leaders and Karyakartas who organised the Yatra and ensured people from all walks of life participated,” Modi said in a post on X.
Modi has been continuously serving as a head of government — first as the chief minister of Gujarat for three terms and subsequently, as the prime minister after winning three Lok Sabha elections — since October 7, 2001.
