India is not going to progress from Delhi: Modi @ HT leadership summit

December 04, 2015 10:32

Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the HT Leadership Summit:

* Till now Delhi decided where states will spend money. This has changed & now CMs decide where money will be spent. It is important that the world knows about our states and the strengths of our states

* India is not going to progress from Delhi. States have the most important role in India's progress. States & Centre have to move together, shoulder to shoulder for a sustained level of success.

* On 'Ease of Doing Business', we were either constant or falling. Progressing in those rankings was unthinkable in the past. States we never usually look towards did well in 'Ease of Doing Business' rankings -- Odisha, Jharkhand & Chhattisgarh.

* Having a stable government is a very big thing and this can't be ignored. Fractured mandates always have uncertainty.

* Let us place what is happening in India in the context of the world and in context of what we witnessed in the recent past. There was unhappiness all over, in the last few years.

* Among world economies, India is seen as one of the fastest growing. All this when the world economy is slowing down.
