KOLKATA, May 4 : Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh said here today that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has raised India’s global stature by providing a stable Government and that is the reason today, all the leading countries of the world look forward to engage with India because of the continuity in its progressive and futuristic policy provided by Prime Minister Modi in the last 10 years.
In a media interaction in the middle of a hectic election campaign for the fifth phase of election for seven West Bengal constituencies going to polls on 20th of this month, Dr. Jitendra Singh said, before PM Narendra Modi came in 2014, India had for decades gone through an era of instability at the Centre. Most of the successive Governments before 2014, he said, were either short lived or they were led by non-uniform conglomerates which resulted in indecisiveness and lack of firm posturing, the consequences of which was that most of the countries in the world either looked down upon India as a fragile nation or were reluctant to engage with the then Governments at the Centre because of the uncertainty of their stability.
Recalling Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s address in one of his recent public rallies, Dr. Jitendra Singh said, PM Modi was right in pointing out that if at all the INDIA Block came to power, even though there was absolutely no possibility of that happening, they will be unable to decide on the PM candidate and may virtually end up having a rotational PM with one new candidate assuming the office of Prime Minister every year. In a situation like that, if a five-year term is marked with five PMs, it will not only reverse India’s growth by taking it several decades backward but all the countries across the globe would also turn away from India because of the incoherent leadership at the Centre, he added.
It was because of a stable, firm and decisive Government in the last ten years under Prime Minister Modi, said Dr. Jitendra Singh, that the Indian economy rose from position 11th to position 5th overtaking the UK and from fragile five economies came to be known as top five economies of the world.
The Minister said, while the third term of PM Modi will witness India becoming the third biggest economy, the world is also looking up to India under Modi to engage for global economic growth and progress.
Dr. Jitendra Singh said, the people of India have for the first time realised a sense of esteem in the world arena which is visible across the globe and, therefore, they are determined to return Modi as Prime Minister for the third time. The experience of the last two terms has given them the faith and trust in “Modi ki Guarantee”, he said.
