During his visit to Surat, Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for development projects worth over ₹18,800 crore. In his speech, he heavily criticized the Congress party and certain 'pessimistic' elements for mocking the Self-Reliant India (Atmanirbhar Bharat) campaign. He accused the opposition of wanting to keep India dependent on other nations and praised the collective will of Indian citizens towards building a developed nation. Modi also cited electoral setbacks for Congress in Himachal Pradesh and dissatisfaction in Karnataka as signs of public rejection of their governance. https://odishasambad.in/modi-targets-rahul-says-some-people-are-pessimists-want-to-bring-india-down/ #creator program
