He listed various initiatives undertaken by Narendra Modi government, emphasising development of infrastructure, including highways, railways, metros, and institutions like IIMs and AIIMS.

"This is a new India," he declared, pointing to India's military strength and successful surgical strikes and airstrikes carried out after 2014.
