Mukherjee said his government is committed to nurturing the right environment for actualising this mandate of the people.
“For this, it pledges itself to the principle of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas', which can be fulfilled only through your active participation.
“We will work together to re-establish the credibility of the institutions of democracy. My government will function on the mantra of ‘Minimum Government, Maximum Governance'. In all our actions, we will be guided by the core values of our great civilisation.
The address said the government is dedicated to the poor as poverty as no religion, hunger has no creed and despair has no geography.
“The greatest challenge before us is to end the curse of poverty in India. My government will not be satisfied with mere “poverty alleviation” and commits itself to the goal of “poverty elimination”.
