New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday (May 31, 2022) addressed a rally at the Ridge Maidan in Shimla to mark the eighth anniversary of his government. While addressing the 'Garib Kalyan Sammelan', Modi said that in the last eight years, he did not "even once" see himself as a PM, but only when he has to sign documents.
"In last 8 years... not even once did I envision myself as PM. Only when I sign documents do I have the responsibility of PM but as soon as the file is gone, I'm no longer a PM...I'm just a Pradhan Sevak of 130 cr people who're everything in my life and my life is also for you," he said.
Accompanied by Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur ahead of the state Assembly election scheduled to be held later this year, PM Modi said that now our borders are more secure than they were before 2014.
