Modi Declares Every Decision Driven by Nation First, India Now Leading from the Front
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a candid interview with News Magazine , affirmed that every decision taken by his government has been fueled by a singular unwavering passion: Nation First.
"Any tough decision does not seem difficult for me," PM Modi declared, "as I take all steps through the prism of what is best for India." This unwavering commitment echoes in his assurance that "Modi's guarantee is not a political slogan, but the trust reposed in him by the nation's poorest citizens." He asserted, "Today, every poor person knows I will never back down from my duty to them."
From a nation once relegated to the sidelines, PM Modi envisions an India "leading from the front," a global trailblazer shaping new platforms and agendas. He emphasized, "The world consensus is clear: this is India's moment."
Fueling this national resurgence is PM Modi's unwavering belief in "optimum resource utilization, outcome-oriented monitoring, and achieving national goals through mass movements." His economic focus is evident in the projected trillion-dollar jump in India's GDP between 2014 and 2024, from 2 trillion to 3.75 trillion.
Job creation remains a top priority, fueled by "unprecedented infrastructure development" across all sectors. This focus on infrastructure, PM Modi explained, is driven by the understanding that "investment in this area has a significant multiplier effect on growth and employment."
Standing in stark contrast to "dynasty-based parties," PM Modi emphasized the BJP's identity as a "cadre-based party driven by a clear mission." Leaders, he highlighted, rise through the ranks not by lineage but by "dedication and hard work." This commitment to new blood, he stressed, is "essential for a healthy democracy."
On Jammu and Kashmir, PM Modi outlined a multi-pronged approach for sustained peace: security, development, infrastructure investment, human capital development, and government process reforms. This holistic strategy, he affirmed, is aimed at "ensuring sustainable peace, stability, and prosperity for the people by improving living standards, promoting economic growth, and generating employment opportunities."
India's G20 Presidency under PM Modi's leadership has demonstrably strengthened the organization's effectiveness in shaping the global agenda. He underscored the successful echoes of "G20 achievements on energy and climate" at COP28 in Dubai, particularly tripling global renewable energy capacity by 2030, developing hydrogen as a fuel, and scaling up climate and energy finance.
Navigating the complexities of India's neighborhood, PM Modi advocated a two-pronged approach: constructive and cooperative engagement when possible, and unwavering firmness when required.
This exclusive interview reveals a leader fiercely committed to the nation's progress, driven by a deep understanding of its strengths and challenges. PM Modi's unwavering "Nation First" philosophy paints a compelling picture of India's rise to global leadership, a trajectory fueled by economic growth, infrastructure development, social inclusivity, and a resolute commitment to its people.
