  "account": "Prime Minister Narendra Modi invoked the ideals of Lord Ram to present a governance model focused on justice, equality, and public service at a Dussehra celebration in New Delhi. Describing 'Ram Rajya' as a system where every citizen receives equal treatment and the welfare of the poor is a priority, the Prime Minister emphasized that public power should serve people, not rule over them. He called for citizens to be at the center of policymaking, with public service treated as a fundamental responsibility. Modi likened the construction of the bridge to Lanka to India's development goals, highlighting the importance of determination, self-reliance, and collective action. He urged India to rely on its own strengths and work together to overcome challenges. The Prime Minister also acknowledged the importance of Lord Ram's traditions, such as the staging of Ramleelas, in preserving the country's cultural identity. Over the past 12 years, more than 650 ancient idols have been returned to India, boosting the nation's cultural heritage and global recognition.",
