  "account": "Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi on his birth anniversary on Friday, October 2, 2026. The Prime Minister highlighted Gandhi's enduring message of truth, non-violence, compassion, and service, emphasizing that it would continue to guide humanity through every era. Modi stated, \"May Bapu's timeless message keep guiding us towards a better society and a Viksit Bharat.\" In a video address, the Prime Minister conveyed the significance of the day for the nation, noting that Gandhi's ideology has inspired people worldwide despite his lack of political power. He stressed that Gandhi's teachings will remain relevant and impactful in the future. Gandhi's philosophy of Swadeshi, which promotes the use of locally made products, was a key aspect of his legacy. Modi urged the public to purchase at least one Khadi product on his birthday, encouraging the adoption of this Swadeshi practice. Mahatma Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, and was tragically assassinated in Delhi on January 30, 1948.",
