Addressing an election rally in western Uttar Pradesh\u2019s Ghaziabad, the veteran BJP leader also lauded Modi for transforming India\u2019s reputation on the global stage since becoming prime minister in 2014.\u201cIndia has become a powerful country. The world did not take India seriously\u2026 But our PM Modi has done a miracle. Today when India speaks on the international stage, the whole world listens carefully. This is India\u2019s reputation which has grown rapidly,\u201d Singh said. Referring to the Russia-Ukraine conflict that has been continuing for the last two years, the defence minister said, \u201cAround 25,000 Indian students were studying in Ukraine. Their parents demanded from our prime minister that the children must be brought back\u2026 Every parent in India was worried.\u201d \u201cWhat no other prime minister in the world could do, our PM did that. He called up Russia\u2019s President Putin and Ukraine\u2019s President Zelenskyy. Not just that, he even spoke to President Biden of the US, which is considered the most powerful nation. \u201cBrothers and sisters, you should be proud that the war stopped for four-and-a-half hours and over 22,500 Indian children came back from Ukraine. This is India,\u201d he said. Modi has resolved that India would no longer be counted among poor countries and by 2047, it can become the world\u2019s largest economy, Singh said \u201cYou might have read in newspapers that there was a perception about India being a poor and weak nation. This was a worldwide perception. But the miracle that Modi has done in nine years, you would be proud that 25 crore have been lifted out of poverty,\u201d he said. The Union Minister said sometimes the BJP\u2019s opponents question the Government\u2019s claims on poverty statistics, but they should check the data of NITI Ayog and international financial firms about the changes brought about in the last nine years. Noting India\u2019s role in providing COVID-19 vaccines around the world, he said the heads of all countries acknowledge that the 21st century belongs to Bharat. Singh was addressing a rally in support of the BJP\u2019s Ghaziabad Lok Sabha candidate Atul Garg. Singh had won the Lok Sabha poll from this seat in 2009 but shifted to Lucknow in 2014. Ghaziabad goes to polls on April 26 in the second phase of the elections and has over 29 lakh registered voters.
