While I appreciate PM's diplomatic efforts, I wish he would show the same enthusiasm for domestic issues like unemployment and inflation. International image-building is good, but ground realities matter more.
The emotional reactions of our diaspora brothers/sisters show how much NRIs miss their motherland. PM Modi has successfully connected with them through his vision of Viksit Bharat. Jai Hind!
As someone living in London, I can confirm the excitement was electric! 🇬🇧ðŸ¤ðŸ‡®ðŸ‡³ The Indian community here feels more connected to home than ever before. Kudos to our PM for strengthening these bonds!
Free Trade Agreement with UK will be game-changing! PM Modi's foreign visits always bring concrete benefits for our economy. Remember how UAE investments boosted our infrastructure? More power to him!
The way our PM carries Indian culture globally is remarkable. When he gives 'ashirwad' to people abroad, it showcases our beautiful traditions to the world. So proud of our roots! ðŸ™
