Union Minister Piyush Goyal who participated in the 'Hamara Samvidhan, Hamara Samman' padayatra program held in New Delhi on Monday said that it was a pride moment on how the Prime Minister Narendra Modi had united 140 crore people with the Constitution.

As part of India's 75th year as a Republic, the "Hamara Samvidhan, Hamara Samman" campaign supports the vision of a Viksit Bharat (Developed India) by 2047. It encourages citizens to uphold constitutional values, respect democratic principles, and engage in legal and political processes shaping the nation's future. By promoting constitutional awareness and its practical application, the campaign aims to empower citizens to protect the Constitution and contribute to building an inclusive, democratic, and prosperous India.

Speaking to ANI, Goyal said "We are very happy to know that the youth is celebrating 75 years of formation of the Constitution. We are proud of the way that PM Modi has united 140 crore people with the Constitution. We should work hard on PM Modi's dream on Viksit Bharat. A good citizen is the one who keeps the nation first and if we unite the whole country and step together, we will move 140 crore steps together. This padyatra will motivate the youth.."

Meanwhile, Goyal today also spoke on the results of the recent Maharashtra elections and said that the State elections had given the directions to the country to unite the society.
