Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said the world says Modi is a strong leader who can take tough decisions.
“Modi has taken tough decisions to ensure the country is free of corruption and terrorism,” the PM said while addressing a rally in West Bengal’s Cooch Behar.
“Firstly, I want to express gratitude to Mamata Didi. In 2019, I came to this same ground to address a rally, at the time she got a platform constructed in the middle of this ground to make it smaller in size. At the time, I had said that the public would give an answer to this. Today, she did not do any such thing and I got the opportunity to meet you all. I express my gratitude towards the Bengal govt for not creating any obstacles today,” Modi further said.
“The 21st century is very crucial for India. This time is to make India developed, and when the country will be developed, West Bengal will be a big beneficiary of that,” he added.
Attacking the Congress, the PM said that for decades Congress kept giving the slogan of ‘Garibi Hatao’. “It is the BJP govt which in the last ten years alleviated 25 crore people from poverty. This happened because we are working sincerely and our ‘niyat’ is right,” he added.
