NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday vowed to press ahead with reforms, with a focus on high growth and stable policies, to realise the dreams of a developed country and asserted that the “resolve has got only stronger” in his third term.
“I can only assure that the resolve is stronger and like our citizens, govt is full of hope and confidence,” he said, in yet another put-down to suggestions that lower numbers in the Lok Sabha would sap his ambition and energy for reforms.
At the inaugural ET World Leaders Forum, Modi described the third decade of the 21st century as a “lift-up decade for India” and sought support from business leaders to take forward the country’s development story.
“By 2047, we have vowed to make India a developed country. We want more and more Indian companies to emerge as global brands,” he said.
‘Want made-in-India product on every dining table’
Delivering a speech with his trademark high energy, Modi said, “By 2047, we have vowed to make India a developed country. We know that you too will participate in this journey. We want more and more Indian companies to emerge as global brands. We want India to be a leader in every sector. Our promise is to facilitate, you promise to innovate. Our promise is to reform, you promise to perform. Our promise is to give stable policies, you promise positive disruption. Our promise is to focus on high growth, you promise high quality. Think big, we have to write many success stories together.”
The PM took on the opposition over its taunts of a diminished NDA majority in Parliament, saying voters, especially women and youth, have voted for continuity in a year when several countries around the world that went to elections have voted for change.
Describing India as the biggest land of opportunity, he told the audience comprising Indian and global CEOs that the country respects wealth creators, a statement meant to comfort businesses.
PM identified four pillars for building the foundations of a developed country or Viksit Bharat. He highlighted the push towards skilling and education, focus on making India a global food basket, thrust on green energy, and the drive to turn India into a major tourist destination along with development of technology. “To have at least one Made-in-India food product on every dining table around the world this is our resolve.”
India has been a major driver of global growth, he said, pointing out that its economy has expanded 90% during the last decade, compared with a 35% increase in the size of the global economy. “Today, India’s progress is making global headlines… India has often outperformed both predictions and its peers.”
