Congratulations to my friend Prime Minister @narendramodi on becoming India’s longest-serving elected Prime Minister. This historic milestone reflects not only his enduring leadership, but also the trust and confidence the people of India have placed in him over the years.  I have the privilege of knowing and working with Prime Minister Modi, and I continue to admire his vision for India’s future. As I have said before, I consider him the Ronald Reagan of India for his ability to inspire optimism, drive economic growth, and instill a strong sense of national pride. I extend my sincere congratulations to Prime Minister Modi on this remarkable achievement and wish him, and the people of India, continued prosperity and success in the years ahead.

Service has a powerful way of bringing people together, and few organizations live that mission more fully than @BAPSCharities. Over the past two days, that spirit was on full display at the annual Spirit of Service Walk-Runs—first at Falls Township Community Park in support of the Middletown Community Foundation, and again this morning at Lions Pride Park in Warrington in support of the Warrington Township Police Department’s Shop with a Cop program. Over the years, our longtime partnership has grown into a true friendship, rooted in our shared mission to unite, serve, and strengthen the community we are all blessed to call home. Thank you to the entire BAPS team, countless volunteers, and every neighbor who joined us!

Thank you @CasforTX for joined and supported walk event.
Thank you to BAPS Charities for the invitation to participate in your Walk | Run: The Spirit of Service – America 250, benefiting three incredible organizations: Children’s Health, Main Place, and Metrocrest Services, and rooted in the values of community, unity, and service. After the past few days, it was especially comforting to be surrounded by a community committed to lifting up their neighbors and serving others. In moments like these, we are reminded that our greatest strength is found in one another and in the compassion we show when our communities need it most. ❤️‍🩹✨ #txlege #hd115

Over the past three weeks, @BAPSCharities children, youth, and families visited city council meetings across North Texas — including Irving, Allen, McKinney, Plano, Flower Mound, Coppell, and Farmers Branch — to personally invite local leaders and residents to the upcoming BAPS Charities Walk in Irving, Texas. Through these visits, our youth shared BAPS Charities’ continued commitment to supporting local causes by raising awareness, encouraging community participation, and generating financial support for organizations serving our North Texas families. We are grateful to the Mayors, City Council Members, City Managers, Police Chiefs, Fire Chiefs, government officials, and community leaders who welcomed our youth and encouraged their spirit of service. For the past 23 years, the BAPS Charities Walk has brought together families, volunteers, civic leaders, and community partners with one shared purpose — to serve our community and inspire the next generation to give back. Proud of our children and youth for representing the values of service, unity, humility, and community impact. #BAPSCharities #SpiritOfService #InTheJoyOfOthers #NorthTexas #IrvingTX #AllenTX #McKinneyTX #PlanoTX #FlowerMoundTX #CoppellTX #FarmersBranchTX #CommunityService #YouthLeadership #LocalCauses #CommunityImpact

A heartfelt thank you to Mr. Anand Pabari, Mr. Gopal Pabari, and the entire India Bazaar leadership team for graciously allowing BAPS Charities's Children and youth to share awareness across all India Bazaar locations in support of our upcoming BAPS Charities Walk | Run 2026. For over 23 years, BAPS Charities has been serving the North Texas community through local service initiatives during the year. This year, our annual Walk | Run will support three meaningful local causes: Children's Health, Metrocrest Services, and The The Main Place. Your support helps us bring greater awareness to our community and encourages families, friends, and neighbors to walk together for causes that directly impact lives here in North Texas. As BAPS Charities believes: “Think globally, act locally.” This year, more than 109 cities and over 50,000 walkers are coming together across North America to support local causes in their respective communities. Thank you again, India Bazaar leadership, for your partnership and support in the spirit of service. #BAPSCharities #IndiaBazaar #InTheJoyOfOthers #ThinkGloballyActLocally #CommunityService #NorthTexas #WalkRun2026 #DFWCommunity #ChildrensHealth #MetrocrestServices #TheMainPlace
