Speaking passionately, the Union State Minister drew parallels between the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ideals of Swami Vivekananda. Bhowmik stated that the Prime Minister, inspired by Swami Vivekananda's principles, is propelling the nation towards progress. Quoting the Prime Minister, she asserted, "Development stems from clear intentions," and commended Modi for translating these intentions into concrete actions.
