Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday, “I could have bring the White Paper in 2014… If I had to fulfil my political aspirations, I would have presented those numbers before India (in 2014)…It would have suited me politically, but national policy wouldn’t have allowed me to do it.”
The Prime Minister was speaking at a business summit on Friday. Here are five quotes from PM Modi’s speech:
1. “This time period is indeed unprecedented…this is the time when our growth rate is continuously increasing and fiscal deficit is reducing. This is the time when our exports are increasing and the current account deficit is reducing…inflation is in control. This is the time when opportunities and income both are increasing, and poverty is reducing…”
2. “I want to secure the future of the coming generation before leaving. I stay away from politics where the coffer is emptied for four extra votes. Therefore in our decisions, we gave the most importance to finance management…the approach of certain parties towards electricity is such that it can lead to the destruction of the electricity system of the country. My approach is different…”
3. “For years, the debates to bring formulas to remove poverty were done in AC rooms. Poor stayed poor but after 2014, when the son of a poor became the prime minister, the industry that was running in the name of poverty was toppled. I have reached here from poverty and therefore I know how to fight against poverty.”
