As Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated the country on “stellar” 7.8% GDP growth, he once again appealed to citizens to renew their pledge for an Atmanirbhar (self-reliant) Bharat.
I congratulate the countrymen for their power of resolve, for their hard work; this is a reflection of collective strength,” the Prime Minister said in an Instagram video on Tuesday morning from Kyrgyzstan. “Many congratulations to the people of the country. There is news of war all around. The world is surrounded by crises. The supply chain is completely disturbed. Despite that, India is progressing at a fast pace. The Prime Minister called on citizens to emphasise Swadeshi (local) while buying or travelling. Doubling down on his appeal made a few months ago amid the raging Middle East conflict, he once again urged people to avoid foreign travel and unnecessary gold purchases to help India tide over war-related shocks. “Don’t travel to foreign countries for tourism. Avoid organising destination weddings in foreign countries. We should live by the mantra of ‘Wed in India’.
7.8% growth has filled the country with happiness. From the Covid era in 2020 till today, stability is not visible anywhere.
Pointing out that India achieved this “herculean feat” amid trying times for the world, PM Modi said: “The world is drowned in war. Avoid buying gold if it’s not necessary,” the Prime Minister said in his message. Emphasising Swadeshi, he said the more we opt for local products and services, the more India will progress.
“We will realise the dreams of our youth today through our hard work.
