Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday
said the world wants to hear "directly from the horse's mouth" about
India's policies and growth potential and he will feel proud to tell the
success story of 125 crore Indians in Davos
Days before his first visit to Davos
for the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting, Modi told Zee News in an
interview that India has made a mark globally and there is a need to reap the
benefits.
Stating that India's economy is
growing rapidly and it has been recognised by the world, including all rating
agencies, Modi said Davos is a "good opportunity" for the country as
it is a big market with the strength of demographic dividend.
When asked about criticism whenever
GDP growth slows, Modi said it is a good thing since the country's focus has
shifted towards economy and growth.
"Criticism should not be seen as
bad and this is the strength of democracy where everything must be analysed.
Good things should be praised and shortcomings should be criticised," he
said.
The Prime Minister said the world
recognises the mandate of the world's biggest democracy, as he termed the power
and determination of 125 crore Indians more important than him.
"My work is to be the voice of
125 crore citizens and I am trying to do that honestly," he said.
On increasing FDI inflows, Modi said
the world has seen that this government has a "different thought" and
it is good to attract global attention.
