New Delhi: Union Minister of State for External Affairs and Culture, Meenakshi Lekhi on Sunday said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has been undergoing a historic change, adding that he is tirelessly working to ensure that every Indian gets all the basic elements for well-being and welfare, reported news agency IANS.
The minister was speaking at 'Vishwa Sadbhavana Event' organised by the NID Foundation at Melbourne in Australia where she unveiled two books "Heartfelt - The Legacy of Faith" and "Modi@20" depicting Prime Minister Modi's "unique and hugely successful governance, and his love and affection for humanity in general and Indians in particular, irrespective of region or religion".
Highlighting that India is a great country unaffected by tides of time, Lekhi said that the nation has got Prime Minister Modi as its leader to take it to the top of the world, a place it always deserved.
"Every once in a while India needs change and if you analyse history, you will know that someone great comes along and brings the needed change. After Maharaja Ranjit Singh and Maratha Queen Ahilya Bai Holkar, if someone is capable of bringing that massive change, it is our Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and he is proving that right," said Lekhi.
"A righteous man like the Prime Minister is not afraid of doing the right thing. It was due to this that he was able to bring the change this country required. Unlike previous governments, it didn't take him 70 years to figure that common citizens of this country required toilets. As many as 20 crore toilets were constructed in a record time," she added.
