A day before the start of Parliament’s budget session, Prime Minister Narendra Modi pointed to the importance of the economy at an all-party meeting, adding that there should be greater focus on how the global scenario could be turned in favor of India.
At the meeting called by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, Modi made clear the government was ready to discuss all issues raised by the Opposition. According to parliamentary affairs minister Pralhad Joshi, the prime minister, in his concluding remarks on the economy, spoke of how India could take advantage of the situation, keeping the global perspective in mind.
A statement released later said Modi highlighted that a discussion on the economy would be in the best interest of the country. “In this budget session and in the beginning of the new year, if we can give a proper direction to the country’s economy, it would be in the best interest of the country,” he said, according to the statement.
