India poised to be counted among top 3 nations: Rajnath

JAIPUR: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh asserted on Monday that India would soon be counted among the top three countries in the world as its economy is poised to expand at a fast rate.

Addressing an election rally in Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje’s constituency, Jhalrapatan, Singh said that entire world believes that the day is not far when India will stand among the top countries — Russia, China and the US.

“India will replace one of the top three countries of the world,” he said.

Singh said India’s economy is growing at a fast pace.

“The country was ranked ninth in top 10 countries of the world in 2014 and figures reveal that India became the fastest growing (major) economy after Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led BJP Government came into power (that year),” he said. (AGENCIES)
