The next time, on August 15, I will present before you the achievements and developments of the country from this Red Fort.”3 Evils During his address, PM Modi mentioned three things that he aims to combat in his life, saying “It is the commitment of my life to keep fighting against corruption. Second, dynasty politics has ruined the country. It has taken away the rights of people. And the third evil is appeasement which has left a blot on the national character. We have to fight against these three evils with full force – corruption, dynasty politics and appeasement.”Corruption PM Modi hailed his governments efforts to fight corruption, “It is Modis life-long commitment to keep fighting against corruption…My government weeded out 10 crore fake beneficiaries of welfare schemes, and seizure of ill-gotten assets rose by 20 times.”Vision towards Developed IndiaHe also shared his dream vision of seeing India as a developed nation. “A developed India in 2047 is not just a dream, but the resolution of 140 crore Indians. The biggest strength (of a developed nation) is the national character. An important catalytic agent for all the countries which have developed has been their national character.”New India- Digital Public Infrastructure In his address, the PM also lauded the contribution of youth in making the digital public infrastructure successful, PM Modi said, “Last year at the G20 Summit in Bali everyone, including the developed nations, wanted to know of the success of digital public infrastructure.
