PM Modi started his address with Jai Badri Vishal and Baba Kedar's cheers. PM Modi said, I appeal to all the tourists of the country to spend at least 5% of their travel budget on buying local products. He said that wherever you go, make a resolution.He said, 'These people did not get tired of praising the places related to their culture in foreign countries. But in India this type of work was looked down upon. These centers of faith are not just a framework, but are like life force for us. They are such powerhouses for us, who keep us alive even in the most difficult situations.PM Modi said, I appeal to all the tourists of the country to spend at least 5% of their travel budget on buying local products.

Out of that, at least 5 per cent is whatever is local produce in that area. Do buy it. If it is in your house, then take another, present it to someone. So much livelihood will increase in all these areas. If all travel, add 5% budget from wherever you go. You will be satisfied.He said, 'If you tell the children that when we went to Uttarakhand, this picture was not worth 20 rupees. An old mother was cooking there. The first identity of the mountain people is that they are very hardworking. They don't complain about nature. Learn to live in the midst of troubles. During the earlier governments, the power of the people of the hills was used against them. Governments continued to ignore.At the same time, without taking names, he targeted the opposition parties. Said that the chains of slavery have kept our country in such a way that some people question the work of development. Earlier the country had an inferiority complex about its culture. But now Kedarnath, Badrinath, Hemkund Sahib, Kashi Ujjain Ayodhya, centers of such reverence are showing their grandeur. Now there is a need to end the slavery mentality in the country. Said that the earlier governments have used the power of the marginalized people against them. But today the people of the frontier are in contentment.
