PM Narendra Modi did not inherit a launchpad. He inherited the burden of delayed decisions, weak infrastructure, policy paralysis, broken confidence and a country that had forgotten how to think big.
Since Independence, under multiple Congress governments, India crawled to a $2 trillion economy.
PM Modiโs 12 years: India has crossed $4 trillion. In 12 years, India has moved from hesitation to acceleration. From UPI to ports, from digital infrastructure to defence production, a new India has been unleashed.
And that is a political chargesheet against Congress.
For decades, Congress sold India poverty management as governance, entitlement as economics, and slow growth as destiny. Then they have the audacity to compare India with China, after wasting decades when China was building factories, ports, highways, scale and national ambition.
The China comparison is useless unless Congress first answers one question:
What exactly were you doing for 67 years?
Congress mocked ambition because it never had any.
@narendramodi converted ambition into national policy.
That is the difference.
