"The world is accepting that India is mother of democracy. The world will witness the rising stature of India when the newly built 'Bharat Mandapam' in New Delhi hosts the G20 summit. This 'Bharat Mandapam' is a gift for the country as we celebrate 75 years of Independence. Today is alsoa historic day as we celebrate Kargil Vijay Diwas. The enemies of the country were defeated by our brave sons and daughters. I pay tribute to each and every hero who sacrificed his life in the Kargil war": PM Modi
"Some people have a tendency to comment and stop good works. When 'Kartavya Path' was being built, many things were running on the front page of newspapers as breaking news. It was raised in courts as well, but when it was constructed, the same people said that it is good. I am sure the 'Toli' will also accept 'Bharat Mandapam' and it is also possible that they might come here to deliver a lecture in a seminar":PM Modi.
"In my third term, India will be among the top three economies in the world...Yeh Modi ki guarantee hai", says PM Modi.
