#ModiAtConclave19 : This is the new Bharat, a transformative one, says PM Modi

Listing out the achievements of his government, Prime Minister Modi said the rate of GDP growth was fastest under the NDA government.

Speaking at the India Today Conclave, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he was sure the 21st century will be of India.

Listing out the achievements of his government, PM Modi asked why nothing has been done to control insurgency in Northeast. He asked why nothing was done to improve Ganga river. He asked why physically disabled people never received help from the government. He asked why there was no national war memorial till now for the country’s martyrs. He asked why there was no national memorial for police men till now.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi says he is not at the Conclave, just to ask questions, but give answers too. You say you are sabse tez. Hum bhi aapko batate hai hum bhi kitne tez. If you see from 1991, we have increased GDP growth fastest in the last 5 years, PM Modi said.

Expressing how his government is working with speed and scale, PM Modi said 18,000 villages have been electrified after 70 long years.

PM Modi said that if any government is in power, work should be done in all totality and not on tokenism.

Criticising the UPA government, PM Modi said the issue on MSP for farmers ewas never addressed and the “file for MSP was kept closed”.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked why is it that those who have ruled for so many years have so many defence scams.

Who is every deal maker close to? Who is every middleman close to? Every Indian knows and Lutyens Delhi knows, the Prime Minister said.

Coming down hard on the Congress, PM Modi said the previous UPA government kept coming out with farm loan waivers even though they did not help anything. He said no economist will ever say frm loan waivers can solve agrarian issues.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi says oppose or criticise Modi, but don’t oppose security of India.

“Country has felt shortage of Rafale. India is saying if we had Rafale, results would have been stronger. Ego politics on Rafale has harmed the nation. Oppose Modi, criticise our policies, but don’t oppose the security and well-being of country,” the PM said.

Speaking about the recent Pulwama attacks, PM Modi said no one should play politcs over national security.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said many Modis will come and go, but India will stay forever.

This is why I request not to play with country’s security for your political gains. Stop weakening the country, he said.

Speaking about India’s greatness PM Modi said India’s unity is scary for some people both inside and outside the country and that law ruled over everything in his government.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today’s environment is such that fear among anti-India elements is good.

“Terrorists are scared of India’s strength. When fugitives are also scared the fear is good. When big leaders are scared of going to jail, fear is good. When corrupt are scared, fear is good,” the PM said.

Speaking about the recent Pulwama attacks and India’s retaliation, PM Modi said every drop of soldier’s blood is precious and no nation can dare threaten India.

For us, blood of every soldier is precious. Now no one will dare raise their eyes against India. India is following new strategies. World is understanding India. Today’s India is fearless and decisive, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at the India Today Conclave.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said life of every soldier was important and added that no country can now take India for granted.

PM Modi said he felt like an outsider after 2014 when he came to Delhi. PM Modi said, “After 2014, when I came to Delhi, it took me time to figure out how things work here.”
