Russian President Vladimir
Putin's words of praise for Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a recent event are
going viral across India. Putin said,
"India is very fortunate to have a Prime Minister like Narendra Modi.
PM Modi breathes India, PM Modi lives India." These words are not just
praise from a foreign president, but a global acknowledgement of India's
unprecedented transformation under Prime Minister Modi's leadership over the
past 10 years. Why did Putin say, "Modi breathes India"? Putin's
statement came while discussing India-Russia friendship and Prime Minister
Modi's global stature. He also said that Modi has not only made India an
economic superpower but has also strengthened India's voice on the world stage
to such an extent that no major decision is made without India's input. This
statement is not empty praise; there are solid reasons behind it: they are
important for the global community. First, India played a key role in securing
the African Union permanent membership in the G20, strengthening the voice of
developing countries. Additionally, India's contribution to global peace during
the Russia-Ukraine war established it as an important mediator. Adopting the
policy of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam," India promoted a highly inclusive
and cooperative approach to the world, which is essential for the cooperation
and prosperity of all countries. All these aspects have made India's presidency
a historic opportunity.Where has Modi taken India in the last 10 years? Modi has rapidly
advanced democracy towards becoming a world leader. India is today the world's
fifth-largest economy and is poised to soon become the third-largest. Under
Modi's leadership, India has taken several significant steps, including
providing free rations to 800 million people, Ayushman Bharat health insurance
to over 500 million people, toilets in 120 million households, and tap water to
over 110 million households. Thanks to Startup India, India has become the
world's third-largest startup ecosystem. India has also proudly hoisted the
tricolor on the Moon's South Pole through Chandrayaan-3. Modi's zero-tolerance
policy towards terrorism and separatism is also commendable. Even major world
leaders agree: "If Modi is there, it's possible!" Besides Putin, many
world leaders have praised Modi. World leaders like former US President Donald
Trump and French President Macron have praised Prime Minister Modi's global
popularity and influence. Donald Trump described him as the world's most
popular leader. While Macron honored him as the world's most influential
leader. Furthermore, at a large event in Australia, Modi was addressed as
"The Boss" in front of 20,000 people, reflecting his global reputation
and support. All these statements and addresses reflect his international
recognition and admiration. India is truly blessed! This statement by Putin is
not just a statement, but a symbol of the pride of 1.4 billion Indians. When a powerful president of the world
says, "PM Modi breathes India, lives India," it proves that today's
India is not just a country, but a global power. And all this has been
possible only because of the strong and visionary leadership of Narendra Modi.
