PM Modi hits back at critics of India's economic growth
Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that the country's 7.8% growth rate for the quarter has strengthened national confidence. He pointed out that India has transitioned from being labeled one of the "Fragile Five" to being recognized as the world's fastest-growing economy. He remarked that the same people who previously categorized India as part of the "Fragile Five" are now struggling to accept these positive numbers. "Those for whom the glass was half empty in 2013 still hold that same perspective," he observed.
