“India was the 11th largest economy in 2014. Today, India is the 5th largest economy and yet they (Congress) are silent. They had even lost the ability to dream…It is Modi’s guarantee that in our third term, India will be the third-largest economic power,” the prime minister stated.

Meanwhile, taking dig at Opposition, he said, “I appreciate the Opposition’s resolve to remain in the opposition for a long time. The way you sat here (in govt) for many decades, the same way you resolve to sit there (in opposition). The public will certainly give you its blessings.”
