Gujarat is Narendra Modi’s bastion and the Prime Minister was in full flow on his familiar Vibrant Gujarat dais. Speaking after US Secretary of State, John Kerry, Modi spelled out his macro plans and wooed the global investors to take India seriously as a business designation.
Modi laid special emphasis on infrastructure investment saying that road development and modernization of railways was of utmost importance. He also said that in order to execute the infrastructure plan a fast track PPP mechanism is being put in place.
To the global investors Modi again went back to the term he had coined during is US visit. He said democracy, demography and demand (3Ds) can only be found together in India. He added that his government was committed to ease the business atmosphere in India and that they were working towards single window clearance at the Federal and State levels. He added that this would be a top priority of the newly re-christened NITI Ayog.
