India is rising to become a world power in the next 25 years: Amit Shah

India has embarked on a rapid growth mode and no one can take the country lightly anymore as it is going to rise as a leading power in the next 25 years, said Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi in eight years gave a ‘Sarva Sparshi, Sarva Samaveshi’ government to the country. We have taken an oath for the welfare of the entire society. I can say with confidence that no one can take India lightly anymore,’‘ the Minister said at the ‘Sankalp Se Siddhi’ an event organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in connection with 75 years of Indian independence.
