Incredible India !

On December 1, India will take over the mantle of G20 presidency. It’s a significant moment as it offers New Delhi the opportunity to anchor a powerful global bloc that comprises both elites and emerging nations. In a fractured and crises-laden world, a neutral India — which remains equidistant from the West and Russia in the ongoing war in Ukraine — could take everyone along when it hosts the summit on September 9-10, 2023.?

Today, a fragmented political vision has created an atmosphere of distrust toward the leaders. As chief minister of Gujarat and later as the PM, Modi is a living example of a powerful leader who has created new hope among people.

His indefatigable drive to work hard while offering dynamic solutions to every crisis and the ability to take tough decisions when needed put him in a class apart. His address to the nation from Red Fort without any security ring, not speaks of his own fearlessness but also creates a sense of security among the masses.

Shri Narendra Modi, Honorable Prime Minister of India has set various perfect examples for the world to follow India. His indefatigable drive to work hard while offering dynamic solutions to every crisis and the ability to take tough decisions when needed put him in a class apart. Ensuring public participation in the development of the nation is a trend-setting achievement of the PM.
