He said that because of the government's scheme, 13.5 crore people have come out of poverty. He also said that the policies the Bharatiya Janata Party government is working at present will impact the next 1,000 years of the country's history.
He said that even as the world is finding it hard to come out of the shackles of the coronavirus pandemic, India's economy has emerged as the fifth-largest in the world.
The PM said he aims to take India's economy to third place in the next five years.
Taking a swipe at the Congress party indirectly, he said that corruption, dynasty politics, and appeasement are blots on the character of the country.
Reinforcing his belief that he would become the PM again after the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections, the PM says that he inaugurates the government schemes he launches and will inaugurate the ones he is launching at present.
He also highlighted Indians' growing presence in the global startup industry and said that the top 3 startups in the world are headed by Indians.
