Chandigarh, September 20 - Haryana, Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal, was today at the book launch event titled "Modi - From Vision to Reality," held at the Prime Minister's Museum Auditorium in Delhi.

In a compelling new book titled "Modi - From Vision to Reality," edited by retired IPS officer Sh. R. K. Pachnanda, currently serving as the Chairman of the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission, the transformative journey of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi takes centre stage.

“Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi always holds the belief that the nation comes first, and everything else follows. He has embedded this sentiment deep within himself and has showcased India's culture and history to the entire world”, said chief Minister Manohar Lal.

The book sheds light on how Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi has transformed the nation and turned his vision into reality. Several authors have contributed articles in the book, explaining how PM Modi led the country during challenging times, including the COVID-19 pandemic, implemented crucial economic reforms, and played a significant role in global affairs, notably during the G20 Summit.

The 14th President of the country, Sh. Ramnath Kovind was present as the chief guest in this book release programme.

Speaking as a special guest, Haryana, Chief Minister Sh. Manohar Lal recalled his time working with Prime Minister Modi and emphasised that the book's release was a special occasion because it delves into the life, thoughts, vision, achievements, and inspiration derived from PM Modi's character. He also highlighted that PM Modi, born into an ordinary family, has become one of the world's greatest leaders in the largest democracy, and recent surveys have shown that he is the most popular leader globally, with a 73 percent  approval rating.

The Chief Minister stated that working alongside PM Modi, he learned that one should not overthink when implementing new ideas. He said PM Modi made significant decisions, such as implementing GST, resolving the Ram Janmabhoomi issue, and transforming Jammu and Kashmir by revoking Article 370. He also commended the Indian Army's surgical strikes against Pakistan under Modi's leadership.

PM Modi has not only strengthened the country's internal position but also promoted India's culture and history worldwide. Under his leadership, India successfully launched Chandrayaan-3, becoming the first country to land on the southern pole of the moon, he added.

Sh. Manohar Lal also mentioned that PM Modi has championed the 'Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam' bill in Parliament to provide 33 percent reservation for women in elections, a long-pending reform. Furthermore, PM Modi has proposed the idea of "One Nation, One Election," which is expected to materialise in the near future.

The Chief Minister emphasised that PM Modi has taught the nation how decisions can be reached by involving the entire society. He constantly strives to follow the path shown by Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay, aiming to uplift the poorest families in society.

Director General, Railway Protection Force, Sh. Manoj Yadav and many other dignitaries remained present on the occasion.
