Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Sunday, said that his goal is not ‘power’ but ‘to serve the people’ of the nation. Addressing the 83rd edition of his flagship Mann ki Baat programme, PM Modi said that his prime duty is that of a ‘Pradhan Sevak’ for his people.

Stressing on his government’s much projected ‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikaas’ outlook, PM said that the Indian startup ecosystem is providing solutions to global problems, even as citizens from small villages are coming together to find solutions to the local challenges.

“With the efforts of the government… what is the experience of that changed life? When we hear this, we too are filled with sensations. It also gives satisfaction to the mind and also gives the inspiration to take that plan to the people. This is what I seek from life. I don’t want to be in power, my goal is to serve people,” PM Modi said.
