Prime
Minister Narendra Modi, in his recent address at the Times Global Business
Summit in New Delhi, reiterated his commitment to securing a prosperous future
for India's upcoming generation. Emphasizing responsible governance, Modi
expressed his aversion to political maneuvers aimed solely at garnering votes,
stressing instead the significance of prudent financial management in
decision-making processes.
During
his speech, Modi voiced concerns over certain political parties' approaches
towards electricity, cautioning that such policies could jeopardize the
country's energy system. He advocated for a strategy prioritizing
sustainability and long-term stability in the energy sector.
Furthermore, Modi stressed the necessity of fostering an environment conducive to economic growth while ensuring prudent resource allocation. He highlighted his administration's commitment to steering the country towards prosperity and sustainability, grounded in sound fiscal policies and forward-thinking governance.
Reflecting
on his government's decision-making, Modi remarked on choosing 'rashtraneeti'
(national interest) over 'rajneeti' (politics), opting not to bring a 'White
Paper' on the economy in 2014 to maintain confidence in the country. However,
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman later presented a 'White Paper' in
Parliament, criticizing the Congress-led UPA rule for turning the Indian
economy into a non-performing one through indiscriminate revenue expenditure
and bad debts at banks.
Modi also highlighted India's successes on the global stage, emphasizing the positive sentiment surrounding the country's capabilities. Reaffirming India's status as a welfare state, he underscored the government's commitment to enhancing citizen welfare and improving overall quality of life.
