Prime Minister Narendra Modi On Friday struck an emotional chord with the audience in Jind on Friday when he remarked that while the city’s famous ghee and ghevar have remained unchanged over the years, its “tevar” (attitude) has transformed.Addressing a public rally after flagging off India’s first hydrogen-powered train connecting Jind and Sonepat and inaugurating and laying the foundation stones of development projects worth Rs 15,000 crore, Modi used the phrase to underline what he described as Haryana’s changing development mindset.”I have visited Jind for years. Jind’s ghee and ghevar haven’t changed, but its tevar has changed,” the Prime Minister said, drawing applause from the gathering.The reference to ghee and ghevar—two products closely associated with Haryana’s culture and cuisine—was meant to contrast the state’s enduring traditions with what Modi portrayed as a new, progressive outlook focused on development and infrastructure.By saying Jind’s “tevar” has changed, the Prime Minister suggested that the region has embraced a forward-looking approach, backing growth, modernisation and improved connectivity while preserving its cultural identity.Modi’s remark came as he launched India’s first hydrogen-powered train on the 89-km Jind-Sonipat route, a milestone in the country’s push for green transportation. He also inaugurated and laid the foundation stones of major projects related to road infrastructure, healthcare and education in Haryana.The phrase quickly gained traction on social media.Inputs from PTI
