"Before 2014, India's Image Was A Country Of Poor & Corrupt": Minister Shekhawat To India Today

In an exclusive interview with India Today TV’s Gaurav Sawant, Union Tourism and Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat used a highly intense, dramatic analogy to contrast India's past with its present. Comparing pre-2014 India to a completely neglected household living in extreme distress, Shekhawat noted that before PM Narendra Modi took charge, massive developmental deficits left citizens lacking global pride. He asserted that post-2014, the government successfully dismantled this historical inferiority complex, restoring a sense of deep civilisational honor and transforming the country into an aspiring, self-reliant global superpower.
