Narendra Modi is the 'architect' of New India: MoS Rajeev Chandrasekhar

Speaking about India’s journey towards “Amritkaal” during Vishva Sadbhavana, The Dubai Chapter event today organized by NID Foundation, he was quoted as saying by ANI: “PM Modi is the architect of New India. The last eight years of PM Modi’s leadership have transformed India in many areas. Before 2014, India was looked at as a country with policy paralysis, a nation with corruption as an integral part of the governance, and a weak democracy."

Chandrasekhar also launched two books on PM Modi’s Governance in Dubai – ‘Modi @ 20: Dreams Meet Delivery and Heartfelt and The Legacy of Faith’ in the presence of Sheikh Mohammad Bin – Maktoum Bin Jumma Al – Maktoum, Chairman MBM Group and member of Dubai’s Royal Family, Satnam Singh, Chief Patron NID Foundation and Chancellor Chandigarh University, Sardar SPS Oberoi, Managing Trustee, Sarbat Da Bhala Charitable Trust and Prof. Himani Sood, Founder, NID Foundation.

While delivering his address Chandrasekhar, “Today, the world sees us as a nation of reforms, governance with transparency, and accountability where the benefit of every single rupee spent reaches directly and digitally to the account of beneficiaries, thus plugging all the leakages.”

“This gives room to the government to spend on developing modern infrastructure comprising of expressways, fast railways, and ports. Currently, the government is spending 7.5 lakh crore annually to build infrastructure, which lays a strong foundation of an ecosystem of change,” the minister said on the tax collection issue.

Speaking on the Modi-led government's handling of the COVID-19 crisis, he said, "When the world was reeling under the hardship of economic slowdown during the global pandemic in 2020, PM Modi converted the pandemic into an opportunity for India by laying the foundation of self-reliance nation. India, not only produced 200 crore indigenous vaccines for its own citizens but also emerged as a global manufacturing hub for producing affordable vaccines for the world. In addition, India received the highest FDI inflow during the last two years and emerged as the fastest-growing economy in the world."
