Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted on Monday that the Haryana poll result has reinforced people’s message of stability that was visible in his government’s return to power for the third straight term at the Centre, comments which came as he prepares to spearhead the BJP’s campaign in the Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly polls.

Speaking at the NDTV World Summit, Modi said his government in its third term is working at an unprecedented speed and scale and that India has become a source of hope for the world plagued by numerous upheavals, including ongoing conflicts.

India has “double AI” advantage and when the power of ‘aspirational India’ and ‘artificial intelligence’ combines then it is natural for development to take place at a fast pace, he said, citing several figures.

He said the world sees in India a friend in times of crisis as he cited the country’s decision to send vaccines to scores of nations during the Covid pandemic. India’s progress does not trigger envy but the world rejoices in its growth, he said.
