In addition to promising to end poverty, the prime minister predicted that within five years, his nation would have one of the strongest economies in the world.
“We want to make India a developed nation by boosting the economy and giving the people more authority. According to PM Modi, I will rank India among the top three economies in the world within the next five years.
The prime minister declared that in order to continue guiding the nation towards prosperity, “We must fight against these three evils with full force: corruption, dynasty politics, and appeasement, which have destroyed the country.”
The prime minister added that he “will give an account of the country’s achievements on next August 15 from the Red Fort.”
