Jai Jawan, Jai Kishan, Jai Vigyan, Jai Anusandhan: Lauding India's feat in digital innovation, PM Modi added 'Jai Vigyan and Jai Anusandhan' to 'Jai Jawan, Jai Kishan slogan'. The wait for 5G is over and Digital India will reach every village now, PM Modi said.

Cooperative, competitive, federal society: PM Modi said the need of the hour is a cooperative competitive federal society along with a just federal society. The states must have healthy competition among them.

Make in India: Talking about Aatmanirbhar Bharat, PM Modi said after 75 years of Independence, the salute to the Indian flag was done by a made-in-India tank. "Today we heard the voice which our ears were longing to hear for the last 75 years," PM Modi said. "I salute the children aged between 5-7 years. I came to know that they don't want to play with foreign-made toys. This is the reflection of Atmanirbhar Bharat," PM Modi said.

Aspirational society: India's strength is its aspirational society. The government will have to work towards fulfilling the aspirations of its people, PM Modi said.

Corruption: Declaring a war on corruption from the Red Fort, PM Modi on Monday said the society will not develop.

Bhai-bhatijawad: “When I talk about bhai-bhatijawad, people think I am talking about politics. But no, I am not talking only about politics. Unfortunately, the bhai-bhatijawad has penetrated many institutions in India which is depriving the eligible, talented people,” PM Modi said. Talking about the sports sector, PM Modi said now that the selection is only based on talent and not ‘bhai-bhatijawad’, India's flag is flying high.
