Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday laid out his vision for the next five years, if his party wins the Lok Sabha elections in 2024 and comes to power for the third time.
While speaking in Rajya Sabha during the last Parliament session before the general elections, PM Modi claimed Modi 3.0 is inevitable and said, “We will not slow down the progress. Our third term is not far. Modi 3.0 will strengthen the foundation of Viksit Bharat @2047.”
Earlier in Lok Sabha on Monday, PM Modi predicted a decisive victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections and said that the third term of his government will be one that will be marked by some big decisions that will lay the foundation of a strong and developed India for the next 1,000 years.

Replying to the motion of thanks on the President’s address in the Rajya Sabha today, PM Modi yet again exuded confidence in his party’s win for the third consecutive time.
PM Modi said, “My guarantee is the poor will continue to get free treatment of up to Rs 5 lakh, 80 per cent discount in medicines will continue, Kisan Saman Nidhi scheme will continue, pucca house scheme will continue, Nal Se Jal Yojana will continue, toilets will be built. ‘Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas’ – this is Modi’s guarantee, not just a slogan. I have been born in free India. My ideas are free.”
He laid down a vision for the next five years that he hopes will lead the country towards achieving the goal of ‘Viksit Bharat’ (developed India) by 2047. The India PM Modi envisions will have drones working for farmers, self-sufficient in terms of energy, a transformed public transport system, new strides in the world of artificial intelligence and emergence of top universities for Indian students.
“There will be Made in India semiconductors… Today, the country imports energy needs for lakhs and crores. We will reduce our dependency on such imports… you can generate electricity at home and sell… Yuva start-ups number will reach lakhs… Tier-2 and 3 cities get new identities with start-ups emerging from there,” PM Modi said.
Laying down a string of developments that would take place in the next five years, PM Modi said, “In the coming five years, the strength of India’s youth in the world within sports will be recognised. In the next five years, the public transport of India is going to be transformed. In the next five years, the country will see Bullet Train and the expansion of Vande Bharat. In the coming five years, Made in India will echo in the semiconductor world, and we will be the leader in electronics…I launched a campaign for millet through the United Nations. I do not see that day far away, where in the coming five years, the superfood millet produced by the small farmers of our village will be available in the world market. Drones will be a new strength for farmers. I am sure that animal husbandry and fish farming will increase and we are going to create records…”
“Tourism is going to give the maximum employment in the coming days. Due to the policies we are pursuing, India is going to become a big tourist destination…India is going to make a name for itself in the world of digital economy in the coming five years. India is a new power, and digital systems are going to enhance India’s potential. It is my firm belief that our scientists will take India to the world of space in the direction of surprising the world. I am confident that the country will not listen to those whose warranty has ended, the country will believe in those whose guarantee has been tested,” PM Modi noted in the Upper House amid massive support from NDA MPs.
