With less than a year to go for the general election, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday issued a “guarantee” that India would be among the top three economies of the world during the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA)’s “third term”.
“In our first term, India was tenth in world economy rankings. In the second term, it is the fifth largest economy of the world. Based on this track record, I am saying that in our third term, it will be among the top three economies of the world. This is Modi’s guarantee,” the Prime Minister said, after inaugurating the complex that will be used to host the G-20 leaders’ summit in the capital in September.
