Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi on India’s 77th Independence Day celebrating “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav” with theme of “Nation First, Always First”. This theme not only unites but transcends the boundaries of past notions, conflicts and religious ideologies.
PM Modi guarantees nation for the next 5 years that India will be in Top Three countries in World Largest economy in terms of GDP.
India is the fastest growing economy as it can excel and soon it will be seen breaking its own record of growth rate of 7.2%(Q4 2023) which in itself is a great challenge. This speech was one of the longest speech by PM Modi on 15th August 2023 from Red Fort. It lasted nrearly 90 minutes whereas 2016 is still recorded as longest of 94 minutes.
