It symbolizes a shift from the earlier Rajpath being an icon of power, to Kartavya Path being an example of public ownership and empowerment. PM Modi said, “Today, we are filling the picture of tomorrow with new colours, leaving behind the past. Today this new aura is visible everywhere, it is the aura of confidence of New India." He continued “Kingsway i.e. Rajpath, the symbol of slavery, has become a matter of history from today and has been erased forever. Today a new history has been created in the form of ‘Kartavya Path’.
