We should build a developed India by 2047: Venkaiah Naidu

Hyderabad : Former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu extended his greetings on the auspicious occasion of Vijayadashami to all the people of the country. He called upon everyone to work hard to make India a developed India by 2047. He hoped to build a society free from hunger and thirst and to develop India into a country free from corruption and atrocities. He reminded that in the past, the British rulers used the differences between Indians in their favor to rule the country, damaging our culture and traditions in the process. Therefore, unity, mutual respect and brotherhood among the people are very necessary, he said. He said that Alai Balai is a great platform to spread love among people and strengthen spiritual bonds. He suggested that we share the bonds between us with others through such programs that take humanity forward.

Venkaiah Naidu clarified that unity is the most important thing for the country and society. He advised all Indians to respect diversity and live in unity, and to develop the habit of living in harmony with nature. He said that along with the development of the country, everyone has the responsibility to preserve our culture, traditions and languages. He especially called for preserving the mother tongue Telugu. He said that the mother tongue is like our eyesight and there is a need to pass it on to future generations without neglecting it. He said that festivals and cultural programs should promote unity among the people and showcase the greatness of our traditions. Venkaiah Naidu believed that the construction of a developed India is possible only when we stay away from mutual conflicts and move forward with love, affection and humanity.
