Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “What does that target ($5 trillion) mean to an ordinary Indian? It is important for you to know it and spread the word”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today deconstructed the government’s vision of a $5 trillion economy for the layperson as he launched a programme to add more members to the BJP on his second visit to Varanasi after winning the national election.
Drawing a reference to the Union Budget presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in parliament on Friday, in which the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government announced its plan to ensure India becomes a $5 trillion economy in five years, PM Modi said, “What’s this $5 trillion economy? There’s a lot of buzz around it. What does that target mean to an ordinary Indian? It is important for you to know it and spread the word. Why should India not dream big?”
PM Modi won the national election from the temple town in Uttar Pradesh by a huge margin of 4.79 lakh votes. He visited Varanasi last on May 27 to thank the people of his constituency.
