Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today turned 75 today.
Here are some of the inspirational quotes from the Odisha’s longest serving Chief Minister.
1. 4.5 crore people of Odisha are my family. I will serve them till my last breath.
2. I have inherited my father’s responsibilities, not privileges.
3. Politics is not complicated. Politics is the most powerful instrument to bring about change in the lives of people.
4. If you love your people, you do not see the post you hold merely a post, but as a means to serve the people. You do not see power mere a power, but as a means to transform the lives of people. Negative associates of politics–power, wealth and position dissolve–into nothingness before one’s love for the people.
5. I may be inexperienced, but at least I come with a clean heart and a clean slate.
6. I am always with poor and will continue work for protecting their interests.
7. Empowerment of women is the empowerment of the nation. No household, no society, no state, no country has ever moved forward without empowering its women.
8. Investment in sports is investment in youth. And that, in turn, is investment in the future.
9. My interest as a regional party is to support, or try and support, whichever party fulfills the aspirations of Odisha.
10. One should do what is good for the country.
11. Progress requires defeat of those who divide society on the basis of class, caste or religion.
12. The noble values of caring & sharing and of service and sacrifice must flow within you to make our society happy and vibrant.
13. Technology can be a great leveler. It has the power to bridge socio-economic difference. It has the capacity to ease human suffering.
14. Every bone in my body is secular and I don’t think any of those bones have been damaged.
