World leaders refer PM Modi as ‘Boss’, and globally powerful

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh praised Modi's leadership with great pride. He was present at an event as part of his three-day visit to his parliamentary constituency Lucknow. He believes that India's reputation has increased worldwide under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Singh said, “Earlier, India's words were not taken seriously at international forums, today when India speaks, the whole world listens carefully. When our prime minister visits other countries, you must have seen on TV how he is welcomed there.”

India is the fastest-growing economy in the world currently. India was the 11th largest economy in 2013-2014 and today it is the fifth largest. “The prime minister of Australia calls him (Modi) Boss. The President of America tells Modiji 'You are globally powerful', and expressed a desire to take his autograph. Muslim countries are also giving him the highest respect. Papua New Guinea Prime Minister extended his hand to touch the feet. It is an honour for every Indian,” he said.

Singh said BrahMos missiles will be manufactured at Lucknow with engineers from the country working alongside foreign engineers. People here will get employment opportunities as special railway tracks will be constructed to carry the missiles.

Singh added that about 100 gym parks have been built in Lucknow and there are plans to set up about 500 parks and open gyms. Community-cum-old age care centres would be set up in all the five assembly constituencies of Lucknow at the expenditure of Rs 40 crore.

He was present as the Chief Guest for the inaugural ceremony of an open gym at Mrityunjay Park in Nirala Nagar.
