Red Fort on Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that India has emerged as a confident nation in the last 10 years, and now even at the international level, it is known as the voice of the Global South and a critical part of global supply chains. Modi, with his eyes firmly focused on the slew of Assembly elections in the next few months as well as the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, said that he was giving a report card of the last 10 years under the shadow of the Tricolour. “We have left behind an old school of thought and whatever projects I am inaugurating today were conceptualised in the last 10 years.

We work on the principle of ‘Sarvajan Hitay Sarvajan Sukhay’. We have fulfilled all our targets, whether it is providing toilets to rural women, opening bank accounts for the poor, providing cheaper housing loans for urban poor, the fastest rollout of 5G, and even the building a new Parliament. «This is a new and confident India, which never loses, tires or stops,” Modi said.

Today, he added, our frontiers are now more secure, as we are making our defence forces more battle ready and therefore we are working on defence sector reforms. »Terror attacks are now a thing of the past, and such incidents have considerably come down." The Prime Minister went on to say that «in 2014, we were placed 10th economy-wise, now we are the fifth largest economy due to people’s efforts». «There was a time, when scams and corruption prevailed and India was counted among the Fragile Five.
