Naidu also emphasized the importance of the ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’ vision [1]. This initiative sets a target for India to become a fully developed nation by the year 2047 [1]. He said, "PM Modi's leadership kept inflation low despite the oil crisis" [2].
The statements, reported from Amaravati and Delhi, position the Prime Minister as a pivotal figure in India's modern development. Naidu's comments suggest a strong confidence in the central government's ability to manage global economic volatility while maintaining domestic growth targets.
“"India is witnessing a defining moment under PM Modi's leadership."”
