“Remember another mantra of mine. Always think out of the box. Like when our Madhavrao Scindia ji was the Railway Minister, he had started Shatabdi trains. Such modern trains could not be introduced in India again for three decades.

आज भारत सफलता की जिस ऊंचाई पर है, वो अभूतपूर्व है। पूरे विश्व में भारत की धाक जमी हुई है।
23 अगस्त को भारत चंद्रमा पर वहां पहुंचा, जहां अब तक कोई देश नहीं पहुंच पाया था।

आज भारत, दुनिया की fastest growing large economy है।
आज भारत, global… pic.twitter.com/Km3V9knhbs
