Here are the top quotes from PM Modi’s speech:
# “A spirit of competitive and cooperative federalism is very good for the country.”
# “In every state, there are a few districts where development parameters are strong. We can learn from them and work on weaker districts.”
# Public participation always helps. Wherever officials have worked with people and involved them with the development process, the results are transformative.
# “The word 'backward' must not be used for any district - we need to make an atmosphere of 'forward' in the country.”
# “We need to see that one specific thing which is hampering the development of a district and address the issue.”
# “We have the manpower, we have the skills and resources. We need to work in mission mode and bring about positive change. Our aim is social justice.”
