On Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi pledged to lead the nation through unparalleled growth during his third term, which he claimed will propel it into one of the top three positions.
He said, “From east to west, north to south, India’s infrastructure is changing. The world’s highest rail bridge is in India, the longest tunnel at the highest altitude is in India, the highest motorable road, the largest stadium, the largest statue — all of it is in India.”
He was speaking at the opening of Delhi’s renovated Pragati Maidan.
He further stated that the economic growth would keep up with the nation’s expectations.
“India’s economy was ranked 10th during our first term. It is the fifth-largest economy in the world as of my second term. According to my track record, I’ll convince the nation that, after three terms, the economy would rank among the top three in the world. “India will be one of the top three economies in my third term. And Modi’s assurance is that.
In a political speech held at the International Exhibition-cum-Convention Centre, now known as “Bharat Mandapam,” Prime Minister Modi compared the growth of the last nine years with the whole growth of the six decades since Independence.
“India only managed to electrify 20, 000 km of train lines in the last 60 years, as opposed to the 40,000 km completed by his government in the last nine years… We are currently finishing 6 km of metro lines per month and less than 4 lakh km of village roads. The capacity of Delhi Airport in 2014 was about 5 crore per year. 7.5 crore at this time… “There are now 150 airports,” he stated.
A jab was also made at the adversary. Bringing together his political adversaries, PM Modi claimed that while establishments like the Bharat Mandapam raise a nation’s prestige, “negative minded” individuals have tried to thwart it.
These individuals attempted to obstruct the Bharat Mandapam. Some people feel compelled to stop working at all times. What was all shown during breaking news? There were so many cases filed… I’m sure those people will eventually come here for a lecture or other event,” he remarked.
