“I am criticised for working hard. If working hard is a crime, then I am prepared to commit that crime for 125 crore Indians. Every moment of my time is for the 125 crore people of India,” said Prime Minister Modi while addressing the Indian community reception in Shanghai.
On the final leg of his three-day visit to China, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday addressed Indian diaspora at ICBC World Expo Exhibition and Convention Centre and said he will leave no stone unturned in his efforts to fulfilling aspirations of the people.
Addressing the gathering, Modi said, "Last year this time you could hear just one thing from all over - 'dukh bhare din beetay re bhaiya, sukh bhare din aayo re'. Today, once again on 16th May I want to say - I will leave no stone unturned in my efforts to fulfilling aspirations of the people."
Taking a dig at the Opposition, Modi said, "They used to say who knows Modi outside Gujarat, how will he tackle the global challenges. Criticising me was fine, doubting me was not."
Stating that no one would have made him a prime minister by looking at his bio-data, Modi added, "A person selling a tea can also became the prime minister, it is the beauty of Indian democracy."
Reiterating his commitment for the welfare of the nation, Modi said that he has been criticised for working hard and added that he would continue to do so.
“I am criticised for working hard. If working hard is a crime, then I am prepared to commit that crime for 125 crore Indians. Every moment of my time is for the 125 crore people of India,” said Prime Minister Modi while addressing the Indian community reception in Shanghai.
“I have tried to complete work that has been pending for 30 years. People trust me more because this is the first year of a full majority. The Government has done a lot of work,” he added.
The Prime Minister further said, "There is no part of the world not affected by terrorism. We who follow "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" hold the strength to fight terrorism. Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, 'the world is one family'. Languages may vary, other features may differ but entire world is a family & thats what we have been taught."
Wooing the Indian diaspora, Modi said, "I have come to seek your blessings. I need your blessings so that I don't make a mistake that causes loss to my country."
Further, expressing gratitude to Chinese President Xi Jinping for the grand welcome, Modi said, "The world is seeing this visit very closely. The President of China welcomed another leader in a place outside Beijing. India and China represent one third of humanity. Together we can be a force of good for the entire world."
