PM Modi Highlights India's 7.8% GDP Growth, Urges Self-Reliance and Critiques OppositionPreviousNext

Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated India's 7.8% GDP growth in the first quarter of FY27, attributing it to the collective strength and hard work of the people amid global challenges like wars and supply chain disruptions. He urged citizens to embrace self-reliance by prioritizing domestic products, avoiding unnecessary foreign travel, overseas weddings, and non-essential gold purchases. Modi also criticized opposition figures, notably Rahul Gandhi, accusing them of spreading pessimism and misinformation about the economy. The growth was seen as a sign of India's resilience and progress toward becoming a developed nation by 2047.
