Prime Minister Narendra Modi hit out at Pakistan in his election speech in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh, remarking how the country’s economy was sputtering and was not doing well while Indians were comparatively progressing. Being concerned about the demand for flour, Modi said,
“We used to live off exporting terrorism, but now we are in dire need of it.”
In a much alternated style of address, PM Modi took pleasure in the fact that India, once extorted weapons, has now evolved to become a net exporter of high-tech weapons systems. He emphasized the necessity of voting for an authoritative and conservative administration where national interests are at the forefront.
He expressed the thereof the government’s strong argument for “nation first” or “Rashtra Pratham”, and also, he also exemplified their unwillingness to succumb to external pressures. He justified India’s bargain to purchase oil from Russia, which came under Western and US pressure, particularly.
However, the Prime Minister developed a deeper insult toward the opposition by blaming them for holding up the sale of Rafale fighter jets from France and suggesting that if they had been in power, the mighty success of Tejas aircraft wouldn’t have happened.
P.M. Modi praised Iqbal Ansari, a previous litigant of the Ramjanmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case, for honouring the call to participate in what will become a lingering history of the Ayodhya Ram Temple event. He blasted the Democrats for rejecting the invitation, though they had one too.
The prime minister’s remarks pinpoint the economic differences between the two countries facing India and Pakistan and the latter’s development in various sectors such as defence and national growth.
