Renowned sand artist and Padma awardee Sudarsan Pattnaik, on Sunday, congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his 11 years of leadership, through a sand sculpture with the message “11 Years of Modi Era: A Jan Sevak’s journey to Build Viksit Bharat” at Puri beach in Odisha.
Pattnaik created the six-feet-high sand sculpture using about five tons of sand to congratulate PM Modi. Students from his sand art institution helped him in making the sculpture.
He posted on X, “Congratulations to our Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modiji on completing 11 years. Sir, you have shaped history with your leadership and unwavering commitment to the nation. Your vision of a Viksit Bharat continues to inspire us all. Sharing my sand art from Puri Beach, Odisha, dedicated to this milestone.”
He said, “This message stands not just as a sculpture in sand, but as a symbol of progress, and a shared dream of Viksit Bharat. Over the past decade, under his dynamic guidance, India has witnessed a historic era of growth and renewal – from world-class infrastructure and revolutionary digital transformation to bold economic reforms, grassroots empowerment, and global diplomacy”.
“People from across the country congratulated the Prime Minister for his 11 years of journey. We express our heartfelt gratitude to our Prime Minister for his tireless leadership, unwavering commitment, and transformative vision that has reshaped the destiny of our Nation,” Pattnaik added.
Riding on the massive popularity across the country, PM Modi ended the 30-year era of coalition politics in India in 2014.
PM Modi has recently highlighted various pathbreaking steps taken by his government for the upliftment of people from poverty and its focus on empowerment, infrastructure, and inclusion as well as women empowerment during the last 11 years.
Notably, PM Modi also has the distinction of being the longest-serving Chief Minister of Gujarat, with his term spanning from October 2001 to May 2014.
