Reliance Industries chairman and managing director Mukesh Ambani had high praise for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who inaugurated the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference for the Kutch and Saurashtra regions on Sunday.
Ambani said Modi’s vision has reshaped India’s trajectory for the next 50 years, while also restoring the country’s “civilisational self-belief”.
“Most respected prime minister, you have restored to India its civilisational self-belief. Never in history of India have we seen so much hope, self confidence, and so much vibrancy as we do now,” Ambani said during his address at the conference.
Congratulating Modi for the “great honour for Saurashtra and Kutch” that he was personally present, he started his address by referring to the prime minister’s visit to Somnath temple for the ‘Somnath Swabhiman Parv’ earlier in the day.
“Let me start with ‘Jai Somnath’. The positive vibrations from our dear prime minister’s prayers from Somnath are resonating across Gujarat and India. I congratulate our PM for the great honour for Saurashtra and Kutch that he is personally present for the Vibrant Gujarat regional summit (conference). After 20 years in Gandhinagar, we are privileged to take part in the regional summit here in Rajkot,” he said.
Ambani said history will record the “Modi era” as when India moved from “potential to performance, aspiration to action, follower to becoming a global force”.
“Your (Modi’s) vision has reshaped India’s trajectory for the next 50 years and more. History will record that the Modi era is when India moved from potential to performance, from aspiration to action, from being a follower to becoming a global force,” he said.
Calling Modi the “invincible, protective wall” of India, he said the PM is the reason why global challenges cannot “touch or trouble” the country.
“All of us know that the world is changing very fast, the geopolitical situation is creating new challenges including some unexpected turbulence but what is reassuring for India is that these challenges can’t touch or trouble our people. This is because India has the invincible, protective wall called Narendrabhai Modi. Let the world know that this is India’s defining decade, under the PM’s leadership, India’s not just preparing for the future but India’s shaping it,” he added.
Modi inaugurated the event in the presence of Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and deputy CM Harsh Sanghavi, among other dignitaries. The two-day conference will highlight Gujarat’s leadership in the clean energy sector and its alignment with India’s ‘Panchamrit’ commitments announced by the PM.
These include achieving 500 GW of non-fossil energy capacity by 2030, meeting 50 per cent of energy requirements from renewable sources, reducing projected carbon emissions by 1 billion tonnes, lowering carbon intensity by 45 per cent by 2030, and attaining net-zero emissions by 2070.
