Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said Naxalism was being wiped out from the jungles, but expressed concern that it was fast spreading roots in urban areas with some political parties also echoing their ideology.
Addressing the Republic Plenary Summit organised by a news channel here, PM Modi also targeted the Congress saying it had crushed the aspirations of people, who also stopped expecting much from the party.
He said things have now changed and the people’s aspirations were rising in the past decade since his government came to power. “Today’s India thinks big, sets big targets and delivers big results. It is because the mentality of the country has changed. The country is moving ahead with big aspirations,” PM Modi said.
