Modi thanked BJP and NDA colleagues for their support, according to Open magazine.
Modi said the experience and trust of the 25 years belong to the country and not to Modi alone, according to India.com.
Two of the lines at the event were that service is duty and that Modi lives for mission and not ambition.
The new slogan Modi gave was We will do it, and the audience repeated it after each target named, according to NewsX and Hans India.
Modi called for renewed commitment towards the 2047 vision of a developed India.

Modi recalled school days in Vadnagar, the 2001 Bhuj earthquake, the Chandrayaan mission and the Covid crisis, according to India.com.
Modi said the Bhuj earthquake taught the lesson of staying steadfast in reconstruction and the Covid crisis showed the importance of collective consciousness.
