Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said India always felt the need for reform but a lack of political willpower and political instability in the three decades preceding his government meant the country had stayed away from reforms as well as from taking big decisions.
Mr. Modi, who was addressing the 20th anniversary celebrations of Indian School of Business (ISB) and the graduation ceremony of its Post Graduate Programme Class of 2022 in Hyderabad, said this highlighting the strides India had made under his government.
“Since 2014, our country is seeing political will and also, reforms are being done continuously. Public support and popular support is assured when reforms are undertaken with determination and political will,” he said, citing the adoption of digital payments by people as an example.
