New Delhi/Lucknow, Read: Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted directly with the youth (Gen-Z) at the centenary celebrations of Delhi's prestigious Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC). During this, along with mentioning the strong economy of the country, he also took a sharp jibe at the opposition critics in a very desi and cheeky manner. The Prime Minister compared the people who are irritated with the country's progress to an 'angry uncle' who sits with a proud face at weddings.
PM Modi reached SRCC by traveling in Delhi Metro
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that in the last 12 years, his government has taken the country out of the image of 'policy paralysis' and made it the fastest growing economy in the world. PM Modi, who reached SRCC after traveling in Delhi Metro, referred to his speech given in the same college 13 years ago and said that his government has taken steps towards realizing the resolutions and dreams of his speech at that time. He said that he has brought his report card. Taking a dig at the opposition's criticism, he said, “I have come to you with my report card. The echo of lies will not be able to stand before the roar of truth.”
Recalling his 2013 speech, PM Modi said
Regarding his 2013 speech to the students, he said that at that time he was the Chief Minister as well as the leader of the opposition party but he did not use this platform to criticize the government. He said that at that time I had mentioned some resolutions, kept a vision, said positive things, that was my resolution. I lived those things. Continued on that path. The passion to live for the country and the feeling within me, that feeling of 2013 kept getting added to the garland of words.”
PM Modi told the students – “A gang will cut whatever I am saying into small pieces and put it in my account.”
The Prime Minister said that at that time he had given the example of a glass of water and said that there are three ways of looking at it, one half full, the second half empty and the third completely full in which half is filled with water and half with air. My third perspective is that I see the glass as full. He said that when the country was in the throes of despair, he used to see the glass as half full and not half full. He asked the students to go on the internet about the period of 2013 and see what was the condition of the country. What were the headlines in the media. He said, “A gang will cut what I am saying into small pieces and put it in my account.” He said that what was the headline in 2013, 'Indian soldiers killed on LOC', you will wonder what. Sometimes this also happened. Other headlines were 'World Bank reduces GDP estimate', 'Economy in recession at inflation rate around 10 per cent', bribery in helicopter purchase, and 'Bomb blasts in Hyderabad'. What was the condition of the country at that time? 'Growth was on the floor and inflation was at its peak'. The corrupt roamed around fearlessly and there was talk of 'policy paralysis' everywhere. India was counted among the 'Fragile Five' economies. Terrorists used to carry out attacks and there was nothing but disappointment and frustration in the country. What I mean to say is that there was a struggle on every front.
Mentioned the achievements of his government
Referring to the achievements of his government, he said, “Today the spreaders of terrorism are suffering, the terrorists hiding in Pakistan are being killed by the Indian Army by entering their homes. Peace has increased from Jammu and Kashmir to the North-East and the back of Maoist terrorism has been broken. He said that today the world is talking about India's 'policy dynamism' and is seeing a rapidly growing economy. Many positive news have come. The enthusiasm of the country has increased, in many parts of the world There is a war going on and there are obstacles in trade. Despite this, India's strength tells the story of its development.
did not take anyone's name
Without taking the name of Congress, he said that the people who are pushing the country into Fazile Five are not able to digest this. He said that since April, electricity production in the country has increased, vehicle sales have increased, consumer demand is also increasing, and commercial activity has also increased. He said that India is growing and is also creating new employment opportunities.
The thinking of the opposition has not changed since 2013.
He alleged that the glass of those who criticized was half empty even in 2013 and their thinking is the same even today and for them the glass will remain empty. Referring to the mention of 'Naxalite' in his address to the nation on Independence Day, PM Modi said that at that time he had given a homeopathy pill, the effect of which was that Naxalite minded people came in front of everyone and they were exposed.
