Describing PM Modi as possessing a Yogic persona, Mansingh praised his selfless dedication to serving the nation, lamenting the lack of acknowledgment for his contributions. “Modi is a yogi; his actions are dedicated to the people of this country, not himself. However, many fail to recognise his efforts,” she said.

The performance showcased various government initiatives, including the construction of the Ram temple, Kashi Vishwanath temple, and the principle of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, symbolising India’s role in the global community, represented by the G20.

Former President Ram Nath Kovind lauded the dancers for their exceptional portrayal of these initiatives, emphasising the profound impact of art in conveying powerful messages. “Art is a timeless expression of human creativity. The dance performance depicting Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam is a testament to the beauty and universality of Indian culture,” Kovind stated.

Furthermore, Kovind applauded the government’s accomplishments over the past decade, highlighting initiatives like the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), which has revolutionised digital transactions in India and garnered international recognition.

“UPI has emerged as a digital revolution, with several countries, including Russia, Nepal, and recently the UAE, adopting this innovative platform,” Kovind concluded, acknowledging the government’s strides towards fostering technological advancements and global partnerships.
