There is a mindset that investment is bad & it is only industry. No that is not true. There is scope for investment in so many fields:Modiji

— narendramodi_in (@narendramodi_in) February 27, 2014

Mr. Modi laid stress on investing in Research and Development if we want to reach the top. He added that India is not conscious about intellectual property rights and patents also. He continued that our biggest mistake till date has been that we believe that one tailor made plan will be useful for all the states.

Mr. Modi also took a jibe at Finance Minister’s comment that his knowledge about financial discipline can be written behind a postal stamp. Mr. Modi said that truly his knowledge about financial disciplines can be encapsulated in one word: “Trustee” the way Gandhi ji talked about the “Trusteeship”. He again stressed on all inclusive growth.

When we talk about development we don't think of the present generation.Let us think about the future generations: Narendra Modi

— narendramodi_in (@narendramodi_in) February 27, 2014

Mr. Modi concluded by adding that we must build an agenda for speedy yet sustainable economic growth. That is inclusive of all, respectful of individuals, responsive to innovation and responsible towards the future generations. We must together build an economic agenda for the India of our dreams that translates into improved standards of living, increased human well being and assured social justice.
