00:00First of all, I would like to congratulate your team, that in such a short period of time you have made a good place.
00:08And in a way, the fine information at the grassroots level,
00:14may reach faster through you.
00:17So your entire team deserves congratulations.
00:27Look, the election is for India.
00:29And India's democracy is very mature.
00:36There are strict traditions.
00:39And even the supporters of India,
00:45are not supporters who are influenced by any external movement.
00:52I know that,
00:58there are only a few people,
01:01who like people who have enmity with us.
01:05There are only a few people, who support us.
01:10Now this is a very serious issue of investigation.
01:17And I don't think that I should comment on such issues,
01:22from the point of view of the people of India.
01:27But I can understand your concern.
01:37Your question is very relevant.
01:40Because, you see, what is the mentality of India?
01:44The people of India,
01:47are fed up of corruption.
01:51Corruption is destroying all the facilities of the country.
02:03There is a lot of voice for corruption.
02:08When I used to give speeches during the elections in 2013-14,
02:13and I used to talk about corruption,
02:17people used to express their anger.
02:19People wanted something to happen.
02:23Now we have come and systematically,
02:28we have given strength to do those things.
02:31What are the flaws in the system?
02:35If the country is policy driven,
02:40things are available in black and white,
02:43you can do this, you can't do that.
02:45This is your limit,
02:47if you have to go beyond this limit,
02:49if you can't do it, someone else will do it.
02:51I gave strength to that.
02:53This is right.
02:55But the grey area becomes minimal,
02:58when there is policy in black and white.
03:01And because of that,
03:03there is no possibility of discrimination.
03:05So we gave strength to policy driven governance.
03:10Secondly, we gave strength to schemes on saturation.
03:17100% of the schemes are for 100% beneficiaries.
03:24When there is 100%,
03:26people know that they are going to get it.
03:29So they won't look for a place for corruption.
03:32Those who do corruption can't do it,
03:35because how will they say?
03:37Yes, it is possible that someone will get it in January,
03:40in March, in April, it is possible.
03:43But he knows that he will get it.
03:45And according to me,
03:47saturation gives the guarantee of corruption free governance.
03:52Saturation gives the guarantee of social justice.
03:57Saturation gives the guarantee of secularism.
04:01This is our second scheme with three benefits.
04:06My third attempt was to use maximum technology.
04:12In terms of technology,
04:14because records are maintained,
04:16there is transparency.
04:18In terms of direct benefit transfer,
04:20we have transferred around 38 lakh crore rupees.
04:24If we talk about Rajiv Gandhi's time,
04:271 rupee goes and 15 paisa comes,
04:30so 38 lakh crore,
04:32so it is possible that 25 lakh crore rupees
04:35would have been governed in the same way.
04:39So we have used a lot of technology.
04:42As far as corruption is concerned,
04:46what was the voice of the country before?
04:49Corruption happened,
04:51but they put a small man on the hook.
04:54It used to be common in the media too,
04:57that big crooks get released,
05:00you catch small people and finish them.
05:06Then there was a black hole.
05:08Before 19, we were asked,
05:11you used to talk big,
05:13why don't you take a step?
05:15Why don't you arrest?
05:17Why don't you do this to people?
05:19We used to say that this is not our job.
05:21This is an independent agency doing it,
05:23and we will not do anything out of malice.
05:26Whatever happens, our message is this,
05:28zero tolerance.
05:30Second, action should be based on facts.
05:34It should not be based on perception.
05:37You have to work hard to gather facts.
05:40Now the officers have also worked hard.
05:43Now the crocodiles are being caught.
05:46So we are being asked questions,
05:48why do you catch crocodiles?
05:51I don't understand which gang is it,
05:54Khan Market gang,
05:56which does this kind of narrative
05:59to save some people.
06:02Earlier you used to say,
06:04if you catch small people,
06:05the big ones get released.
06:06When the system started working honestly,
06:09big people started getting caught,
06:11then you started shouting.
06:14Second,
06:16the work of arresting is done by an independent agency.
06:21Keeping him in jail or keeping him out,
06:25whether the case is right or not,
06:27this is decided by the judiciary.
06:29There is no role of Modi in it.
06:31There is no role of elected body in it.
06:33But I am surprised,
06:36the second concern for the country,
06:39is the glory of corrupt people.
06:43In our country,
06:45whenever people were caught in corruption,
06:49or even if someone was accused,
06:51people used to stay away.
06:53Now a days,
06:54people have a habit of dancing on their shoulders.
06:58The third problem is,
07:00the things that people used to advocate till yesterday,
07:04if the same things are happening today,
07:07then they are opposing it.
07:09Earlier people used to say,
07:11Sonia ji, put him in jail.
07:14Put that guy in jail.
07:16And now the same people are shouting.
07:18And that is why I believe,
07:20the work of media like you,
07:22is to ask people,
07:24tell me,
07:25should small people go to jail,
07:26or should crocodiles go to jail?
07:28Ask the public,
07:29what is their opinion?
07:30Make an opinion.
07:39The narrative makers in our country,
07:42they have caused so much damage to the country.
07:44Earlier,
07:45things used to come from outside,
07:48they used to say,
07:49look, we are selling the country,
07:51everyone brings it from outside.
07:53Today when it is being made in the country,
07:55they say,
07:56look, it is the age of globalization,
07:58and you are talking about your own country.
08:01I don't understand,
08:03how to save the country from these elements,
08:06that mislead the country.
08:09The second thing is,
08:11if someone says in America,
08:13be American, buy American,
08:15we feel proud of that.
08:18But when Modi says,
08:19vocal for local,
08:21people think,
08:22look, this is against globalization.
08:24So in this way,
08:25people are misled.
08:28As far as India is concerned,
08:32which has manpower,
08:34skilled manpower,
08:36I can't make a mistake,
08:40that I export wheat,
08:42and import bread.
08:44I would like wheat flour to be produced in my country,
08:47wheat bread to be made in my country,
08:49people get employment in my country.
08:51So my mission of Atmandir Bharat,
08:55my first priority is,
08:59my country's talent should get an opportunity,
09:03my country's youth should get employment,
09:06my country's wealth should not go out,
09:09my country has natural resources,
09:12it should have value addition,
09:14the work done by the farmers in my country,
09:17the product of that should have value addition,
09:20it should capture the global market.
09:22And that's why I have told the foreign department,
09:25that I will see your success from three perspectives.
09:28One, how much goods you have from India,
09:32in the country where you are,
09:34it is bought there.
09:36Second, which is the best technology in that country,
09:41which is not in India yet,
09:43how can that technology come to India?
09:46And third,
09:47how many tourists do you send from that country to India?
09:51This will be my criteria.
09:53So in everything,
09:55in the center, my nation,
09:57in the center, my India,
09:59and nation first,
10:01this is how we work.
10:10You see, India is full of diversity,
10:13and no country can grow on one pillar.
10:17I took a mission,
10:19of every district,
10:21one district, one product,
10:23why?
10:25India is such a diverse country,
10:28that every district has its own strength.
10:32I want to bring it in front of people,
10:36and today when I go abroad,
10:39I don't have any problem in which country I go.
10:44I just look at the catalog of one district, one product,
10:47so I think I will go to Europe, I will take this,
10:50I will go to Africa, I will take this.
10:52And everyone thinks that in this country,
10:54this aspect.
10:55Second, we have done G20 in different parts of India.
10:59Why?
11:00The world should know that Delhi is not the same India.
11:04If you look at the Taj Mahal,
11:06my country's tourism is not complete.
11:08My country has so much potential,
11:10my country needs to be known, understand.
11:12And this time we used G20,
11:15to make India,
11:17to make India's identity in the world.
11:20The world's curiosity towards India increased,
11:24we have been very successful in this.
11:26Because around one lakh of people,
11:29who are politically independent,
11:31came to the G20 meetings,
11:33there were 200 meetings,
11:35went to different places,
11:37they saw that place,
11:39they didn't even hear, they saw,
11:41they started coordinating with their country,
11:43they started talking there.
11:45I am seeing that the people of G20,
11:48are sending a lot of tourists here.
11:50So my country's tourism.
11:52In the same way, you saw,
11:54I had a startup meeting.
11:56I used to do workshops.
11:58From today, 7-8 years ago,
12:0110 years ago,
12:03in the beginning,
12:04that is, I came in 2014,
12:06within 15-16 years,
12:08I started the world of new startups.
12:12I did such a workshop for them.
12:14So I was different,
12:16sometimes I did sports presentations,
12:18sometimes I did coaching,
12:20not just that,
12:21I did a similar meeting with the film world.
12:24I know,
12:26that community,
12:28is very far from our thoughts,
12:30far from my government too.
12:31But it was my job,
12:32to understand their problems.
12:34Because Bollywood,
12:35if it is useful to me in the global market,
12:38if my Telugu films,
12:40can be popular in the world,
12:42my Tamil films can be popular in the world,
12:45I should take the global market,
12:47of everything in my country.
12:48So I did that.
12:50Today, the world of YouTube was born,
12:52so I called them,
12:53because how can you help the country?
12:55So I called influencers,
12:57creative world,
12:59gaming,
13:00Now see,
13:01such a big gaming market in the world,
13:03people of India are investing,
13:05investing money,
13:06and someone else is earning in the gaming world.
13:10So I called all the gaming experts,
13:13first understand their problems,
13:15I told the country,
13:16my government,
13:17I said,
13:18I want to fix India's leadership in gaming.
13:21It is such a big feature market,
13:23my country,
13:24now gaming has come in the Olympics,
13:26so I want to join it.
13:28I am in favor of working together in the world.
13:32In the same way,
13:33the basic arrangements of the country,
13:36you cannot ignore it.
13:39We will have a carpenter of the village,
13:43a goldsmith,
13:44a tailor,
13:46he is also a big power of my country.
13:49I will have to pay attention to him as well.
13:53And that is why my government,
13:55has an integrated approach,
13:57a comprehensive approach,
13:59a holistic approach.
14:08It is true that,
14:10in our country,
14:12I started the Digital India Movement.
14:15So what was the accusation in the beginning?
14:17They thought that the service providers,
14:20are doing it for their own good.
14:22They did not understand that it is as big as an area,
14:26and the 21st century is a technology-driven century.
14:31Technology is IT-driven.
14:34IT is influenced by AI.
14:37Very big and influential areas are changing.
14:42We should look at futuristic things.
14:45If there was no UPI today,
14:48then someone tell me,
14:50how would we fight the fight against COVID?
14:52Even the most prosperous countries in the world,
14:54could not give money to their own people.
14:57We can easily give.
14:59Today, we can send money to 11 crore farmers,
15:01in 30 seconds.
15:05Now UPI,
15:08is so user-friendly.
15:10This talent is in our country's youth.
15:12They make such products,
15:15that any common man can use it.
15:18Today, I have seen so many people,
15:20who share their experiences in social media,
15:22that 6 of our friends decided,
15:24that they will not keep a single penny in their pocket for 6 months.
15:27Let's see what happens.
15:296 months without money,
15:31we did our work in the whole world.
15:34We did not face any problem.
15:36So, UPI is meeting all the criteria.
15:38So, UPI,
15:40has played a big role,
15:44in the world of FinTech.
15:47And because of this,
15:49many countries connected to India,
15:52are ready to join UPI.
15:54Because this is the era of FinTech.
15:56India is leading in FinTech.
15:59And that is why,
16:01the unfortunate thing is,
16:03when I was discussing this topic,
16:05the great scholars of the country,
16:07who were sitting in the parliament,
16:08were making fun of India.
16:11They had no idea about the potential of India,
16:14and no idea about the capability of technology.
16:17What is the future of India?
16:24I can understand their aspirations.
16:29The old way of thinking is,
16:31that if there were 5 people in a house,
16:35they would go to 7,
16:37and if there were 7, they would go to 9.
16:39It is not like that.
16:40Today's youth wants to go from 5 to 100.
16:44They want to make a big leap in every field.
16:47We should create that launching pad,
16:51so that we can fulfill the aspirations of our youth.
16:56That is why the youth should understand.
16:59I talk about exams.
17:02And I have seen,
17:04that I get a chance to talk to lakhs of young people,
17:08who are talking about exams,
17:11after 10 years.
17:14That means,
17:15they are a new generation.
17:18If the government and its leadership,
17:21fail to understand the aspirations of this new generation,
17:25then there will be a huge gap.
17:28You must have seen,
17:29that I was very worried during COVID,
17:31that my first time voters,
17:35who are still here,
17:36were 14-15 years old during COVID.
17:39If they are stuck in four walls,
17:42then their childhood will die.
17:45Their youth will not come.
17:49They will go straight to old age.
17:52Who will fill this gap?
17:54So I was worried about that.
17:56I used to talk to them on video conference.
17:58I used to explain to them,
17:59that you do this, you do that.
18:01And that is why we made the data very cheap.
18:04At that time,
18:05my logic behind making the data cheap,
18:08was that they can easily use the internet,
18:11and turn towards a new world.
18:13And that happened.
18:14We benefited from that.
18:16India has played a big role,
18:19in turning the COVID crisis,
18:21into an opportunity.
18:23And the digital revolution that has come today,
18:25the revolution of fintech,
18:27we have turned the problem into an opportunity.
18:30So I understand the potential of technology.
18:33I want to promote technology.
18:36Namaskar,
18:37I wish you all the best.
18:39I wish you all the best.
18:41And keep giving the right information to the country.
18:43Thank you.
