At his speech today, PM Modi highlighted how people s mindset changed towards investing in India
New Delhi:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today hard sold his government s reforms spanning from manufacturing to taxation to labour, saying they have changed the world perception about the country from why India to why not India and went on to quote record foreign investment during the pandemic as a testimony to that.
Speaking at industry association Assocham s Foundation Week event, PM Modi also said agriculture reforms brought by his government six months back have started benefiting farmers. There was a situation in the past when investors would question why India (for investing in the country). With reforms (of past six years) and their effects, its proposition has changed to why not India , he said.
