Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a recent rally in Ambala, Haryana, invoked the spirit of ‘dhaakad’ – a Hindi term symbolizing strength and resilience – to describe both the essence of Haryana and his decade-long governance.
Addressing a large gathering, the Prime Minister said, “Haryana signifies ‘himmat’ (courage) and ‘hausla’ (determination). Hence, Haryana is ‘dhaakad’. In the same vein, my government has been run in a ‘dhaakad’ manner for the past 10 years.”
The rally was marked by the thunderous sound of Rafale aircraft flying overhead, a sight that filled the audience with a sense of national pride. The Rafale jets, stationed at the Ambala Air Force Station, are a symbol of India’s military prowess.
“When you see the Rafale aircraft in the skies of Ambala, doesn’t it fill your heart with pride?” asked the Prime Minister, eliciting a loud cheer from the crowd.
The rally comes at a crucial time, ahead of the upcoming elections. The Prime Minister concluded his speech by seeking the support of the people of Haryana for another term in office.
“I am here to seek your blessings for the next 5 years,” he said, expressing his aspiration to continue serving the nation with the same ‘dhaakad’ spirit that he believes embodies Haryana.
The rally concluded amidst loud cheers and applause, with the crowd expressing their support for the Prime Minister’s vision of a resilient and determined India, reflecting the ‘dhaakad’ spirit of Haryana.
