Russian president Vladimir Putin on Thursday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Ram Nath Kovind on the occasion of the 73rd Independence Day and said that India “rightfully takes pride in great achievements” in various fields. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said his government will invest a massive Rs 100 lakh crore on developing modern infrastructure that will aid in nearly doubling the size of the Indian economy to $5 trillion in the next five years. Addressing the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort here on the 73rd Independence Day, he said reforms will continue to be ushered in to help India break into top 50 countries on the ’ease of doing business’ ranking. “To some the target of nearly doubling the size of Indian economy to USD 5 trillion in five years may seem difficult. But when we have in five years (of BJP rule) added $1 trillion as compared to USD 2 trillion size achieved in 70 years of independence, then this target is achievable,” he said. Standing up for India Incorporated, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said “wealth creators” in the country “should not be eyed with suspicion”, but should be respected because they are “India’s wealth”. Addressing the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort on the 73rd Independence Day, he said wealth creation is a great national service. “Let us never see wealth creators with suspicion. Only when wealth is created, wealth will be distributed,” he said. “Wealth creation is absolutely essential. Those who create wealth are India’s wealth and we respect them.” Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who addressed the nation on the occasion of the 73rd Independence Day on Thursday and made a strong push for ease of living and population control in the country, was greeted by children as he stepped off the Red Fort stage after his speech. Narendra Modi said, “India does not want incremental progress. A high jump is needed, our thought process has to be expanded. We have to keep in mind global best practices and build good systems.” “Today, every Indian can proudly say: One Nation, One Constitution. We are dutybound to achieve Sardar Patel’s goal of integrating India,” Modi said. Recounting his government’s achievement since it came to power for the second time, Narendra Modi said his govt achieved 70 days what previous govts couldn’t do in 70 years Narendra Modi said, “It’s not even been 10 weeks since the new government was elected and we have provided speed to the development programme. We did not wait even a day to start our work.” Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived at Red Fort ten minutes before his schedule.

Congress slams Narendra Modi’s speech at Red Fort, says 5-trillion dollar economy ’not possible’ currently
The Congress picked up a point that Narendra Modi made in his speech at the Red Fort on the occasion of the 73rd Independence Day, that India will grow to a five-trillion-dollar economy.
The Sonia Gandhi-led party said that India could not be an “ideal economy” in the current situation. “To get there, we need to keep the growth rate at 9 percent continuously for 5 years with a total investment rate of 38 percent of GDP. We currently have an investment rate of 31.3 percent with a growth rate of 6.8 percent,” the tweet said.
भारत 5 ट्रिलियन डॉलर की आदर्श अर्थव्यवस्था वर्तमान तरीके से तो बिलकुल नहीं होगा। वहाँ तक पहुँचने के लिए हमें जीडीपी के 38% की कुल निवेश दर के साथ विकास दर को 5 वर्षों तक लगातार 9% रखने की आवश्यकता है। वर्तमान में हमारी विकास दर 6.8% के साथ निवेश दर 31.3% है।#ModiLiesAtRedFort https://t.co/fSDCTH7klm
