PM Modi celebrated his government's remarkable pace in achieving diverse targets, asserting that India's performance demonstrates its commitment to translating resolutions into reality.
"For 25 years, the discussion revolved around building a new Parliament. This is Modi – the new Parliament was constructed ahead of schedule.

"When we assumed power in 2014, our global economic standing was 10th. Through the collective efforts of 140 crore Indians, we have risen to the fifth position today. This wasn't achieved overnight. By curbing corruption and bolstering the economy, we eliminated the scourge of leakage," PM Modi stated.
