Some people enjoy terrorizing the country: PM Modi

Some people just enjoy terrorizing the country. Corona vaccine will not be available, it will not be available, petrol will not be available at petrol pumps, gas will not be available, diesel will not be available, fertilizer will not be available. Some people were enjoying scaring the country. But the country saw that the way we citizens took forward the schemes with the mantra of Devo Bhava, the country did not face any problems. Today there is petrol, gas and diesel in the country. We are moving forward at our own pace.
Faced challenges with the mantra of self-reliance: PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his address to the countrymen, there was a time when I was talking about self-reliance, then some people sitting in the AC talking were telling us what would happen with globalization. Wherever the voice of globalization came from, it has stopped speaking. But during this period of crisis, some people worked to weaponize these resources. Weaponization of resources. Petrol, diesel, fertiliser, medicines, technical items. If we had not moved forward with the mantra of self-reliance, how would we have faced such challenges. Such challenges are increasing.
