“There is no doubt that India will become a global leader very soon. That is because it has strong, committed leadership with vision in Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It is in the hands of the people to make India No 1. We should keep our trust in Mr. Modi. The country will not lag behind,” External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has said.
He was speaking after laying the foundation stone for Sri Padmavati Mata Shakti Peetha and AGM Ayurvedic Medical College New Block at Navagraha Teerth Kshetra in Varur near Hubballi on Wednesday.
He said that India was No 11 in terms of largest economies in 2014. After Mr. Modi became Prime Minister, in 10 years, India has become the fifth largest economy. “And, in the next three years, India will be No 3 in the world,” he said.
