Seeking 3rd term, Modi renews his pledge to make India 3rd largest economy of the world
Vowing yet again to make India the third largest economic power of the world in his third innings, Prime Minister Narendra Modi rejected the Opposition's demand for a caste census, iterating that only four 'castes' women, youth, deprived sections, and farmers existed in the country. Their empowerment, he said, would catapult the country into a developed nation.
The PM unleashed development projects worth over Rs 19,000 crore in his parliamentary constituency Varanasi. This was his 43rd visit to the holy city in nine years as an MP. "When Kashi develops, UP develops and when UP develops, the country develops," said the PM as he took part in the rural leg of Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra in Sevapuri block of Varanasi on the concluding day of his two-day trip to Kashi on Monday.
