Asserting that India now doesn’t wait for opportunities, but it creates them, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 22 said five petals of ‘Pushp’ will pave the way for a developed India.
Addressing an Indian diaspora event at the Nassau Coliseum in New York, PM Modi said India has created opportunities for new launching pads in every sector in the last 10 years.
“Today, India is a land of opportunities. Now, India doesn’t wait for the opportunities, it creates them! In the last ten years, India has created opportunities for new launching pads in every sector. In just a decade, 25 crore people were lifted out of poverty. This was possible because we changed the old thoughts and approach. We focussed on empowering the poor. We connected more than 50 crore with the banking system,” he said.
“You may remember this word ‘Pushp’ which means flower, I define it as ‘P’ for progressive Bharat, ‘U’ for unstoppable Bharat, ‘S’ for spiritual Bharat, ‘H’ for humanity first which India has dedicated itself to and ‘P’ for prosperous India…All five petals of ‘Pushp’ or the flower which will make Viksit Bharat,” he added.
Pushp in Hindi means a flower. Lotus, a flower, is election symbol of the BJP.
PM Modi also said that India is a huge centre of attraction in various areas like sports, business, environment, and entertainment.
“Be it sports, business, environment or entertainment. India is a big centre of attention today. IPL is one of the top most sports leagues in the world. Indian films are doing well globally,” he said.
India’s ‘Namaste’ has become multinational, “local se global ho gaya”
In his historic address to the Indian diaspora at the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, New York, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday that India’s ‘Namaste’ has now become multinational, and has turned from ‘local to global’ (Ab apna Namaste bhi multinational ho gya hai, local se global ho gya).
Addressing the Indian diaspora in the US, PM Modi thanked the community for their love.
“‘Ab apna Namaste bhi multinational ho gya hai, local se global ho gya’…..Your love is my good fortune…” the Prime Minister said to cheers from the audience.
Lauding the contributions of the Indian community overseas, PM Modi said that Indians contribute to do the most no matter where they are.
He said, “Many languages but one common feeling-that feeling is for Bharat Mata and Bhartiyata…This is India’s biggest strength…”
“Whether Indians are in any country, we look to do good, we contribute the most no matter where we are,” PM Modi added.
