PM Modi on Mann Ki Baat: India's grown in confidence, strength, and pride, showing that the country is on the right track.

Several people from various places have been writing in to thank the nation for their village having finally received power and road connection after 70 years of independence, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today. Highlighting the achievements of the seven years since he took power, he referred to them as laurels belonging to the country and his countrymen. "...we are on the right track," PM Modi said on his monthly Mann Ki Baat radio talk show marking the seventh year of his tenure as Prime Minister. "So many people...thank the nation for their sons and daughters being able to sit and study under electric lights and fans. So many people say that 'our village, too, is now connected to the city through a good road'," he said. It was in May 2014 that he became the country's Premier, having won the election with a full majority for any party after almost three decades. His winning catchphrase, "Achhe Din" (Good days), had symbolised hope for his voters.
