Modi touches Constitution book to forehead, says ‘every moment of my life is dedicated to…’

PRIME Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that every moment of his life is dedicated to upholding the noble values enshrined in the Constitution of India.

After the meeting of NDA leaders at the Samvidhan Sadan of the Parliament building, in a post on X, Modi shared a photo of him touching the Constitution book to forehead.

“Every moment of my life is dedicated to upholding the noble values enshrined in the Constitution of India, given to us by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar," said Modi.

He further added that it is only due to the Constitution that a person like him, born into poverty and in a backward family, is able to serve the nation.

“Our Constitution gives crores of people hope, strength and dignity," Modi said.

Today, later in the day, Modi is scheduled to meet President Droupadi Murmu at the Rashtrapati Bhawan to stake claim to form the government.

Meanwhile, Modi also met former President Ram Nath Kovind and BJP veterans L K Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi.

TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu, Bihar CM- JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP- Ajit Pawar) Chief Ajit Pawar, Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) Chief Chirag Paswan were among several leaders who greeted Modi at the NDA meeting.
