The Prime Minister reiterated the mantra of nation’s development through
the development of the states. He said that with a better economy, trust in the
country grows and states also benefit from that as they get investment. He

India is the only major economy that has grown by 8.4 percent in the last
quarter. “With this speed, India will become the world’s third-largest
economy”, said the Prime Minister, which will also mean high growth for the
economy of Telangana also, he added.

Minister highlighted the new ways of governance in the last 10 years. Pointing

years, the Prime Minister stated, “For us development means the development of
the poorest of the poor, development of the dalit, tribals, backwards and
deprived.” The Prime Minister said that more than 25 crore people have risen
out of poverty and credited the government welfare schemes for the poor.

further amplified in the next 5 years
