Stable govt behind quick development: PM in Guj

Rapid development across India is garnering praise across the world and this is due to the power of the people who have elected a stable government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday, adding that the country is on a path towards becoming a developed nation by the centenary of its independence in 2047.

He was speaking after dedicating development projects worth ₹5,950 crore at a public event in Mehsana. The PM also participated in a roadshow and visited the Ambaji temple in Banaskantha before launching the projects.

"At the root of the rapid development being seen in the country and India's praise in the world is the power of the public that has given a stable government in the country," Modi said. "We have experienced how a stable and majority government in Gujarat continuing for a long time has helped us take one decision after another," he added.

Modi said that while some people may not know about T20 cricket, it would be difficult to come across anyone in India who did not hear about the G20 summit.

"The entire world is discussing India's growth and progress. The success of the Chandrayaan mission is being appreciated by all. Where no one has reached, our nation did. The success of the G20 is also under a lot of discussion. You may come across people who don't know about T20 matches but it is difficult to find someone who does not know about the G20. Leaders from across the world came down to India, they are curious about India," the PM said.
