Nothing is impossible for India today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said hours after the completion of a key test in the country’s ambitious human space flight mission Gaganyaan, and averred that his government was working with a long-term vision since it came to power.
Several “pending” works such as the abrogation of Article 370, banning of triple talaq and implementation of the Goods and Services Tax have been accomplished in the last ten years, he said, speaking at the 125th foundation day of The Scindia School in Gwalior.
He also praised the contribution of the Scindia family, the erstwhile rulers of the Gwalior state. Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, who is the president of the school’s Board of Governors, was also present.
“I became prime minister in 2014. After that our government started work with a long-term vision. Our government has abrogated Article 370, (a task) which was pending for 60 years, implemented One Rank One Pension scheme (for defence forces) and GST which were pending for 40 years, triple talaq (ban which was pending) for decades and women’s reservation (in legislatures) that was pending for years during a tenure of ten years as part of the long-term vision,” P,M Modi said.
His government has accomplished so many things that they can not be listed “even in one whole night,” he added.
“Today morning itself we successfully tested Gaganyaan,” the prime minister said, referring to the completion of the first unmanned test flight in India’s ambitious human space flight mission Gaganyaan at Sriharikota.
