The Prime Minister highlighted India’s status as the fastest-growing major economy, with an 8 percent growth rate over the past three years. He attributed this success to a positive outlook, investment, and performance, which have created peak opportunities for the nation.
Urging Members of Parliament to rise above political battles, PM Narendra Modi called for a united effort to serve the country for the next five years, putting the interests of the nation, its poor, farmers, women, and youth first.

PM Narendra Modi concluded by expressing confidence that the Parliament would engage in fruitful discussions, driven by positive views that propel the country forward.
