New Delhi, Leading News Service: Union Information Broadcasting and Sports and Youth Welfare Minister Anuragsinh Thakur strongly believes that India will become the third largest economy in the world in the next three years. Ten years ago, India was ranked eleventh in terms of economy. He said that during the tenure of the Modi government, our country has reached the fifth position.
Anurag Thakur on Thursday interacted with 147 non-resident Indian leaders from 31 major cities in 19 countries via television. Kanchan Banerjee, Principal Member of NRIM organized the event.
He said that this year's Lok Sabha elections are important for realizing the dream of a developed India. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India will definitely become a developed nation in the year 2047. Plans for railways, roads and flyovers were stalled for the last 15 years. Modi government has completed them. 4 crore 20 lakh fake ration cards and 4 crore 10 lakh bogus gas connections have been canceled by bringing transparency in administration. In 2014 there were 74 airports in the country. Now that number has increased to 150. The length of the national highway was 96 thousand kilometers. It has increased to one and a half lakh kilometers during Modi's tenure. Earlier there were only 7 All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in the country. Now they have reached 22. The number of medical colleges has been increased from 74 to 706 to increase the number of doctors.
Defect on EVM is the excuse of opponents!
Elections are being conducted on EVM machines in India for the past 30 years. There was no opposition to EVM when Congress was in power. However, now that Narendra Modi is going to become the Prime Minister for the third time, the opposition has already started clamoring for EVM machines. Anurag Thakur while replying to the question of NRI leaders said that this is an excuse of the opposition to hide their defeat.
