New Delhi: The Republic Bharat Summit concluded with prominent leaders such as Smriti Irani , Piyush Goyal, Anurag Thakur , Gajendra Singh Shekhawat among several other newsmakers addressing key national issues. Discussions focused on governance, nationalism, and India's development, all under the theme of "Nation First" (Rashtra Sarvopari). 

The event was held at The Ashok, New Delhi on October 18 (Friday).

Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar inaugurated the Rashtra Sarvopari Sammelan, India's largest news event, lighting a lamp alongside Arnab Goswami , Editor-in-Chief of Republic Media Network.

During his address at the Republic Bharat Summit, Khattar emphasized the importance of the event, stating, "When the idea of the nation resides in the hearts of our citizens, we will not lag behind... we will progress."

He also criticized the opposition for their allegations regarding the use of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) in elections, pointing out that they often claim EVMs are hacked only after losing, while everything seems fine when they win.

Later, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi attended the event and had an exclusive conversation with Aishwarya Kapoor, Executive Editor of Republic Media Network.

Highlighting that her party has no links with any of the corruption cases, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi said, "We all can recall that when all the scams are reported, piles of money are found, but raids happened at AAP leaders' locations, but not one penny was found by agencies."

She further said, "AAP is with the people of Delhi. BJP has been attacking the Constitution. BJP has been trying to end democracy and drag it to dictatorship. AAP has always stood to 'save the Constitution', and we will join hands with those parties who are with us in this goal."

Former Union Minister Anurag Thakur graced the occasion with his presence. He highlighted BJP 's ‘Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas’ motto. 

 "When I entered politics, Jaitley ji played a big role. I worked like a worker, did whatever the party gave me. Modi ji gave me the opportunity to serve for 5 years. BJP is a party of workers, where a worker can become anything from CM to PM; Modi ji is a great example. We work on the principle of sabka saath, sabka vikas. We do not look at caste. We give benefits of schemes to everyone and work for everyone. The decision that is taken is for the benefit of the country and is not based on caste or religion."

Union Minister Piyush Goyal also attended the summit, emphasizing the BJP government's commitment to Atma Nirbhar Bharat.

In a conversation with Arnab Goswami , Editor-in-Chief of Republic Media Network, Goyal stated, "In political life, there’s nothing better than meeting people personally. PM Modi gave us the opportunity to be part of Janta Adalat; it was a significant chance for me. The Modi government has taken strong measures to make India self-reliant."

He also called for unity against caste politics and expressed confidence that the BJP will win the upcoming Maharashtra elections.

The event featured a lively debate between Himachal Pradesh Minister Vikramaditya Singh and former Chief Minister Jairam Thakur, addressing key issues in the state, including the illegal construction of mosques, identity verification, and the burden on the state exchequer.
