CM Sai pens article in BJP mouthpiece on Modi's 25 years
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
A tribute in print, timed to mark a political milestone: Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai has authored a full-length article in the BJP's national mouthpiece Kamal Sandesh, reflecting on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 25 years of public life and framing the years ahead as India's era of developed-nation ambition.
In a post shared on Monday, 5 October 2026, CM Sai announced the publication, writing that under Modi's leadership the country has 'aneke naye aayam sthapit kiye hain' — 'established many new dimensions' — in welfare of the poor, good governance, self-reliance, tribal empowerment, and development. He placed Chhattisgarh squarely within that national arc, describing the state as 'is parivartnkari yatra ka mahatvpurna sahbhagi' — 'an important participant in this transformative journey.'
The article and its title
The piece, published in the latest issue of Kamal Sandesh, carries the headline '25 Varsh Seva Ke The, Aane Wala Waqt Viksit Bharat Ka Hoga' — translating to 'The 25 years were of service; the time to come will be that of a Developed India.' CM Sai says the article traces Modi's public-life journey across a quarter-century, the transformation India has undergone under his watch, and the road map toward the Viksit Bharat (Developed India) goal.
Chhattisgarh's place in the Viksit Bharat narrative
CM Sai, who has led Chhattisgarh since the BJP's return to power in the state in December 2023, has consistently positioned the state as a front-runner in central welfare schemes — from PM Awas Yojana housing targets to forest-rights recognition for tribal communities. His invocation of tribal empowerment alongside poverty alleviation and self-reliance signals a deliberate link between Chhattisgarh's demographic reality — the state has one of India's highest Scheduled Tribe populations — and the broader BJP governance pitch.
Closing his post with a note of conviction, CM Sai wrote that the Viksit Bharat dream 'will be realised' through Modi's leadership and the collective resolve of the nation's people, and that the coming years 'will witness India's new development story.'
