Rajnath Singh said that economists around the world are saying that by 2027 India will become the third-largest economy in the world. By 2047, India will become the richest country in the world.
He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken many steps which no one had thought of. No one had thought that by 2024 all the poor of the country would get their own house, drinking water and cooking gas cylinders.
Mr Singh said that under the Ayushman Yojana, free treatment up to Rs. 5 lakh is being provided to the poor. Such a scheme is not seen not only in India, but in any country of the world.
