Correct Answer : Narendra Modi
Prime Minister "Narendra Modi" on Monday(15th Aug 2022) said the time has come to cleanse the country of corruption and nepotism and asked people to have ‘nafrat’ (hatred) for these twin evils that go beyond politics, as he set a ‘Panch Pran’ (five resolves) target to make India a developed nation in 25 years.
“The nation should now only be setting big goals. That big goal is a developed India and nothing less,” Modi asserted in his ninth consecutive address from the ramparts of Red Fort on the country’s 76th Independence Day, as he also highlighted the challenges of dynastic politics.
India has entered a decisive era in its battle against corruption which is “eating the country like termites”, he said, adding corruption and nepotism are the two main challenges for the nation.
Dressed in a traditional kurta and churidar paired with a blue jacket and a white ‘
safa’ with tricolour stripes, Modi unfurled the national flag amid a
21-gun salute by the indigenously-developed howitzer gun,
ATAGS, which he noted with pride was the first from
Red Fort in 75 years..
