“Our government has touched lives of crores of people in the country. ‘Reform, perform, transform’ has been our mantra. And the people can also see this. Many big countries of the world have voted for the change of government in recent times. But people of India gave an opposite mandate. People of India gave hattrick to a government after 60 years. The youth and women voted for continuity, stability and economic growth. For this, I thank people of the country,” PM Modi said at ET World Leaders Forum.
“Today, India’s progress is part of global headlines. 25 crore people have came out of poverty in the last 10 years and formed a neo-middle class. The speed and scale is historic. No democratic society in the world has seen this,” PM Modi said.
He shared that over the past decade, more than 250 million people have moved out of poverty, leading to the emergence of a new middle class. PM Modi emphasised that while the poor had aspirations, they faced challenges and lacked basic facilities like bank accounts. “We chose the path to empower the poor,” PM Modi said.
“In less than 100 days of third term of our govt, we have taken big decisions for poor, women, youth and farmers,” he added.
