Electricity for 18000 villages in 1000 days: Modi

India is full of diversity. “Modi received a standing ovation as he prepared to address the crowd”.

“Kabir and Rahim have been our inspirations”. Kabir and Rahim have been inspirations for India and the Sufi tradition is the best antidote for terrorism, Modi added.

Modi is expected to receive a huge welcome at the stadium, and the organizers promise to deliver the “loudest, greatest and most vibrant welcome he has seen outside of India”.

“This must also be a priority for BRICS nations”, he said.

Stating that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has proved his critics wrong, the British prime minister said: “They said a chaiwallah can’t govern the world’s largest democracy and he proved them wrong”. India can show the world the path to fight both terrorism and global warming.

Modi said that 18,000 villages in India that were not connected with electricity would get this basic facility within the next 1,000 days.

“India wants to see the development of green technology, we have a lot of expertise in that area”, he said.

Modi said India has “zero tolerance for corruption and black money” and listed out efforts including a new law to deal with the undisclosed assets kept overseas and the newly- launched drive against domestic illicit wealth.

“#Cameron greeted the assembled audience with a “Namaste” which drew loud cheers and followed up with another greeting “‘kem cho'(How are you?) Wembley” in Gujarati.

Prime Minister David Cameron joined Mr Modi on stage at the Wembley extravaganza, which included performances from Indian and British performers and a fireworks display.

Britain is home to an estimated 1.5 million people of Indian origin, providing political ballast for Modi as well as potential funding for projects back home such as building toilets for millions of Indians who don’t have them and expanding power networks, failures he touched on in his speech. It is precisely what he did in his interactions in the United Kingdom, whether with David Cameron’s government, British businessmen or the Indian diaspora.

Earlier in the day when the news of the attacks in Paris broke, Modi had tweeted, “News from Paris is anguishing & terrible”. It was obviously in keeping with Modi’s “Make in India” initiative.

Immigration restrictions towards Indian students have also been criticised. There was a clear indication of very strong rapport between the two leaders.

Mr Modi, who addressed a 60,000-strong Wembley stadium crowd on Friday, said: “More than a hundred people lost their lives while they were doing what they loved, or spending time with their loved ones”.
